## Description

Affectionately dubbed "Fairy Lights" for their similar appearance, these addressable RGB LED string lights are a great way to light up any project with no soldering required. The insulated strings come in 5m lengths with one RGB LED every 5cm for a total of 100 LEDs. These LEDs have an [IP65](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_Code) waterproof rating to protect your LEDs.

The string of lights terminate on either side with a locking 3-pin JST connector, one male and one female. The [wiring and pinout](https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/ws2812-breakout-hookup-guide#pinout) are listed in Sparkfuns guide.

- Red Stripe = 5V
- "White" (Middle) = DAT
- "White" (The Other Side) = GND (wire appears to be connected closest to the LED's dotted polarity marker side)
