There are 30 RGB LEDs per meter, and you can control each LED individually! Yes, that's right, this

is the digitally-addressable type of LED strip. You can set the color of each LED's red, green and

blue component with 8-bit PWM precision (so 24-bit color per pixel). The LEDs are controlled by

shift-registers that are chained up down the strip so you can shorten or lengthen the strip. Only 1

digital output pin are required to send data down. The PWM is built into each LED-chip so once you

set the color you can stop talking to the strip and it will continue to PWM all the LEDs for you

The strip is made of flexible PCB material, and comes with a weatherproof sheathing. You can cut

this stuff pretty easily with wire cutters, there are cut-lines every 1.3"/3.4cm (1 LED each). Solder

to the 0.1" copper pads and you're good to go. Of course, you can also connect strips together to

make them longer, just watch how much current you need! We have a 5V/2A supply that should be

able to drive 1 meter and a 5V/10A supply that can drive up to 10 meters (depending on use) You

must use a 5V DC power supply to power these strips, do not use higher than 6V or you can

destroy the entire strip

As of May 21, 2014 these come in 5 meter reels with a 2 or 3‐pin JST SM connector on each end and 

separated power/ground wires. These strips are sold by the meter! If you buy 5 meters at a time, you'll get 

full reels with two connectors. If you buy less than 5m, you'll get a single strip, but it will be a cut piece 

from a reel which may or may not have a connector on it.

To wire up these strips we suggest picking up some JST SM plug and receptacle cables. You'll want

one of each, one wire is for ground the other is for signal. For the power wire, you will also

probably want a 2.1mm DC jack to wire in so you can connect one of our wall adapters to power it.
