Addressable LED strip - SK9822 1 Meters 144 Pixels/m

Great individually addressable flicker-free LEDs. Has black back with an adhesive back (non-waterproof). Includes connectors.

What is it?

This is a 1 meter long strip of SK9822 RGB LEDs with a 144 per meter density. These are powered by 5V and driven by a clocked data line. These are compatible with APA102, which are also known/sold as DotStar.

Connectors for input, output, and power are installed. This also includes a connector for connecting to your controller, and a power plug for feeding power to the 2.1mm x 5.5mm power jack.

The strips can be cut to any length. Solder tabs are between every LED. The strip has an adhesive peel back.

What makes it special?

These are state-of-the-art and provide rock solid updates, faster refresh cycles, and the possibility of a dynamic range well beyond the usual 0-255. They have 24-bit RGB color (8 bits per channel) with an additional 5 bits of brightness control for an equivalent of 13 bits of brightness control. They can be used in very low-light applications without losing color-mixing capabilities, and transitions to black are extremely smooth.

The SK9822 are a clone of the APA102C LEDs, but improve on the design and can provide the same dynamic range without introducing flicker.
