New Product: LED Strips
Solar botics
May 2, 2017
A brilliant selection of new smart LED strips with various features. They are addressable, white RGB, or full-color RGBW, available on spools or per meter to add blindingly bright effects to your project. Some so bright, we had to shoot them at 1/4 power to avoid freaking out the camera exposure.

5V RGB Addressable Serpentine Stripxel (48/M, 2.5M spool) 64.95 CAD / 49.95 USD This strip uses narrow 5mm construction using a little "S" bend between each LED, you can peel the backing and stick them down into actual curves that don't kink out. |
 |
5V StripStar Addressable WHITE ONLY 144/M LED strip 79.95 CAD / 59.95 USD This strip allows you to pack a very dense, accurately controlled illumination strip into a project that lets you feature incredibly smooth, fast effects. |

5V Addressable RGB Stripxel LEDs (60/M, APA102, Black PCB) 34.95 CAD / 26.95 USD These addressable RGB stripxels feature the APA102C LED elements mounted 60 per meter, on a black PCB. This model is cased in a silicone IP65-compliant sleeve for good water resistance. |
