Addressable High-Density RGB 72-LED Strip

This high-density, 0.5-meter long strip contains 72 RGB LEDs that can be individually addressed using a one-wire interface, allowing you full control over the color of each RGB LED. The flexible, waterproof strip runs on 5 V and can be chained with additional SK6812 or WS2812B strips to form longer runs or cut apart between each LED for shorter sections.

Overview

These flexible RGB LED strips based on the SK6812 LED/driver IC are an easy way to add complex lighting effects to a project. Each LED has an integrated driver that allows you to control the color and brightness of each LED independently. The SK6812’s color and brightness are largely independent of its supply voltage from 3.5 V to 5 V, meaning that voltage drops caused by the resistance in long power connections are less likely to have a visible effect.

Features and specifications:

• Individually addressable RGB LEDs (30, 60, or 144 LEDs per meter)
• 24-bit color control (8 bits per channel)
• One-wire digital control interface
• 5 V typical operating voltage
• Color and brightness are voltage-independent down to 3.5 V
• Each RGB LED draws approximately 40 mA with red, green, and blue at full brightness
• 12 mm width (14 mm for the high-density 144 LEDs per meter strip), 4.6 mm thickness
