If you are using this with a 3V or 5V microcontroller or computer, use 4 x NPN transistors or N-channel mosfets to sink current from each wire. Our guide on analog LED strips is pretty much the same wiring you need, except its only about 50mA per segment. If you desperately need something that can run off of 5V you might consider wiring up your own white LEDs instead of using the LEDs that come with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote\u003c\/strong\u003e: Shipping weight reflects UPS' new dimensional weight regulations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cdiv id=\"tab-technical-details-content\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse in\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"col-lg-12 col-md-12 col-sm-12 col-xs-12\"\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRange of motion: 180°\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeight: 340mm \/ 13.4\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiameter of light: 50mm \/ 1.97\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 221g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul id=\"product-files\"\u003e \u003cli\u003e\nDiagram \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"col-lg-2 col-md-3 col-sm-3 col-xs-4\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Adafruit","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54079454085231,"sku":"fdv1787257463842","price":19.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0637\/3376\/0111\/files\/tower-light---red-yellow-green-alert-light-with-buzzer---12vdc_1.jpg?v=1787257472"},{"product_id":"digital-rgb-led-weatherproof-strip-lpd8806-32-led-1m-reel-discontinued","title":"Digital RGB LED Weatherproof Strip - LPD8806 32 LED - 1m Reel [Discontinued]","description":"\u003cp\u003eThese LED strips are fun and glowy. There are 32 RGB LEDs in the 1m reel, 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 7-bit PWM precision (so 21-bit color per pixel).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe LEDs are controlled by shift-registers that are chained up down the strip so you can shorten or lengthen the strip. Only 2 digital output pins are required to send data down. The PWM is built into each 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe LPD8806 chip has built in 1.2 MHz high speed 7-bit PWM for each channel - that means it can do 21-bit color per LED (way more than the eye can easily discern). Once you set the brightness level for the LEDs, your microcontroller can go off and do other things, no need to continuously update it, or clock it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 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 2.5\"\/6.2cm (2 LEDs 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 or more meters (depending on use). \u003cb\u003eYou must use a 5V DC power supply to power these strips, do not use higher than 6V or you will destroy the entire strip\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThey come in 1 meter reels with a 4-pin JST SM connector on each end. These strips are \u003cb\u003esold in 1m reels\u003c\/b\u003e! If you buy multiple reels, you'll get full 1m reels with two connectors (not a combined length).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo wire up these strips we suggest picking up some JST SM plug and receptacle cables. Please note, we try hard to get consistent wiring between batch of strips but we can't guarantee it, \u003cstrong\u003eplease double-check which side is the input and which is the output by looking at the strip itself for the directional arrows and pin labelling\u003c\/strong\u003e. Red is power, blue or black is ground, yellow is data pin, green is clock pin.
