NeoPixels

Post by DavidJCounter »

Apologies if this has been asked before, but I couldn't see any reference to it...
I am just about to purchase the NeoPixel 60 LED/m strand, but i need to know how flexible it is. For my project, I need to wrap the string around a 90 degree corner (with the LEDs facing away from the corner), and was wondering if I bend the strip at the copper connectors, how tight of a radius do I need for that bend?

Many thanks for your help

David

You won't get a really sharp bend because of the clear casing around the strip. But it's OK to bend the strip at the connectors.
