At Adafruit, we're always excited to find new and amazing glowing items. These Flexible Silicone Neon-Like LED Strips really caught our eye! They look just like neon, but you don't need costly transformers, glass tubing, or inert gases. These strips are super flexible and bendy. They have a single - color non - addressable LED strip with a big piece of translucent silicone rubber as a diffuser. They look awesome and are very easy to use, perfect for lighting up your projects. The silicone makes a strong, durable, and weather - proof casing. While they're not for underwater use or long - term outdoor exposure, they're tough enough for outdoor projects like costumes, bike lights, or festival decorations. You'll get a 1 - meter strip with two power wires. Supply 9V (bright) to 12V (very bright!) and the strip starts to glow. No soldering needed! You can attach it with a 2.1mm DC Barrel Jack and plug it into your 12V supply for instant glow. For portable use, try our 8 x AA battery packs with NiMH rechargeable or Alkaline batteries. Note that these aren't 'NeoPixel' LED strips. You can turn the whole strip on or off, but you can't control individual LEDs or change colors. You can cut the silicone cover and LED strip, though you might break one or two LEDs in the process.



Using this 1 - meter pink flexible silicone neon - like LED strip is a breeze. First, connect the two power wires. You can use a 2.1mm DC Barrel Jack to attach it to your 12V power supply, or for portability, use our 8 x AA battery packs with NiMH rechargeable or Alkaline batteries. Provide 9V for a bright glow or 12V for an even brighter one. No soldering is required. These strips are great for projects like costumes, bike lighting, or festival decorations. But remember, they're not meant to be dunked underwater or left outside for a long time. Also, these aren't 'NeoPixel' strips, so you can only turn the whole strip on or off, not control individual LEDs or change colors. If you want to cut the silicone cover and LED strip, go ahead, but you might break a couple of LEDs in the process. There's no special maintenance needed, just keep them dry and away from sharp objects to avoid damage.
