Great, little bit different to the usual neopixels, ideal for the cheerlights lamp I'm building.

Pros - bright, bold colours, flexible. Cons - easily tangles, hard to remove kinks in the wires. Overall very happy with my purchase - perfect for creating custom LED devices.

Just what I was after to play around with connected to a raspberry pi zero - found a decent library with tutorial online.

Looks great. I am having fun playing about with this strand of lights and the Plasma2040 making light routines. I have since ordered another strand and I can't wait to get them on the tree!

Very easy to use with the Plasma 2040 board, loads of good info on the Pimoroni site to get started!

Combined with the Plasma2040, they make perfect Christmas lights. Each LED is surrounded by a translucent plastic cover that glows brightly even when it is facing away from the viewer. This means that I do not have to care about their orientation when I use them as decoration. At full brightness (white), the power consumption (Plasma2040 + 50 LEDs) is reasonable, with a current peaking at 0.78 A. Using the connectors on both ends, it is easy to link two of these wires for a total of 100 LEDs. The total current can remain under 1 A as long as I do not try to have all LEDs at full brightness simultaneously. I am so happy with how they look like that I ordered more of them...

Indeed, twinkly little LEDs, surprisingly bright even at lower voltages (even from a single LiPo cell). If you want to shorten the run bear in mind you’ll need to take care with the bare ends so that they don’t short.
