You love NeoPixels, and you love silicone diffusion? Peep this NeoPixel RGB Neon-like LED Flex Strip with Silicone Tubing! OK its a bit of a mouthful but check out the beautiful pics! It looks a lot like neon, but without the need for expensive transformers, glass tubing, inert gasses, or a Las Vegas casino license. They look incredible, are super easy to use, and are a great way to make your projects light up!

It's flexible and bendy with a solid chunk of translucent silicone rubber as a diffuser.

The silicone makes for a strong, durable weather-proof casing. While not guaranteed for dunking underwater or long-term outdoor exposure, they're durable enough for projects that have to survive the outdoors, like cosplay, bike lighting or festival decorations. You can cut this stuff with wire cutters.

You'll get a 1-meter long tube that is sealed at one end and has a JST SM 3 pin connector in the input. Provide 9V (will work) to 12V (ideal) on the power pins, and provide your standard issue NeoPixel (WS281x) data on the third pin - don't forget to share the ground pin between the 12V power supply and your microcontroller. Boom - you're glowin' in style. For fixed installations, For portable use, try 8 x AA battery packs with NiMH rechargeable or Alkaline batteries.

This strip contains 60 LED along the meter but in groups of 3-LEDs-per-pixel. So basically, in your NeoPixel program, this looks like a 20-pixel-long strand.

It may be possible to cut the 1 Meter strip down to a smaller size, we do not recommend this as it can be difficult to find the cutting point.

Adafruit are not able to provide custom lengths of the Neon-Like LED. 

Detailed NeoPixel Uberguide has everything you need to use NeoPixels in any shape and size. Including ready-to-go library & example code for Arduino's, CircuitPython and Raspberry Pi
