## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=ADA3869:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/ADA3869:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

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](https://core-electronics.com.au/8-x-aa-battery-holder.html) with [NiMH rechargeable](https://core-electronics.com.au/rechargeable-nimh-aa-battery-1-2-v-2200-mah-1-cell.html) or [Alkaline batteries](https://core-electronics.com.au/aa-batteries.html).

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**
