Here at Adafruit, we love discovering new and exotic glowing things. Like moths to the flame, we were intrigued by these 'chip on board'...

## Pricing

- **Price:** $24.10 (inc GST) — $21.91 AUD, exc GST
- **Quantity discounts:** 10+ $21.25 (exc GST) · 50+ $20.82 (exc GST)

## Availability & dispatch

## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=ADA5850:1` (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/ADA5850:1.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

Here at Adafruit, Adafruit love discovering new and exotic glowing things. Like moths to the flame, Adafruit were intrigued by these 'chip on board' ultra-flexible white LED Strips with a whopping **320 SMT LEDs per meter**, soldered side-by-side and diffused with a thin silicone epoxy! They *look* a lot like neon or incandescent tubing or maybe really nice EL wire, but without the need for expensive transformers, glass tubing, or inert gasses. The strip itself is only 5mm wide, the casing is 8mm wide but can be removed.

Unlike addressable neopixel-dot strips, these lights have a continuous light source, and unlike Adafruit's 'Neon' tubing, they're much thinner and more flexible (but don't have a chunky diffused look) The trade-off for having a thin silicone cover and non-diffused tubing casing is that close up you can see the little hot spots between LEDs.

The silicone casing makes for a strong, durable, weather-proof casing. They're not guaranteed for dunking underwater or long-term outdoor exposure, but they're durable enough for outdoor projects like costumes, bike lighting, or festival decorations. Plus, with the adhesive backing, you can stick it where you please.

You'll get a 1-meter-long strip with two wires: black and red. Provide 3V at 200mA (bright) to 5V at 1.2A (very bright!), and the strip starts to glow.

[This strip is powered from 5V, They also have one that is powered from 12V](https://core-electronics.com.au/flexible-led-strip-300-leds-per-meter-1m-long-pink.html)

**Note these are not 'NeoPixel' LED strips; you cannot turn individual LEDs on or off**. [This guide on analog RGB LED strip control will show you how it works - you'll want a microcontroller with a PWM output and N-MOSFETs or a ULN2803 to control the power to the entire LED element](https://learn.adafruit.com/rgb-led-strips).
