The M5Stack Digital RGB LED Weatherproof Strip SK6812 (1m) is a programmable RGB LED strip,utilizing SK6812 RGB LEDs.
The LED strip supports digital addressing, which means that you can individually control the color and brightness of each individual LED on the LED strip. Single bus programming is supported to expand the LED strip.
The outer layer of the LED strip is coated with a transparent protective silica gel which supports IP65 waterproof protection, thus it can be adapted to a variety of application environments.
The LED strip consists of a flexible FPC (soft light strip)/PCB (hard light stripboard) for the substrate and uses 5050 RGB LEDs, and strong double-sided tape on the back for easy pasting and fixing. The working voltage is 5V DC voltage, and various lighting effects can be realized through controller programming.
I purchased the 1 m length to try it out before I committed to a longer length. It is very easy to run it from my Arduino Leonardo. You can select the number of LEDs that you want to turn on at any time, and how bright and which colour you want. The libraries and examples make it easy to figure out how to make it work. I only ran the LEDs at 20% (all 60) using the 5V from the Leonardo without any problems. Even at 20% the LEDs were very bright. I plan to use a separate power supply for the LEDs when I try running them at high brightness. The colours are fully programable. Worth having!
