Dimensions of product?

Post by splatten »

https://www.adafruit.com/product/3776

What are the dimensions of this strip? I'm really looking for the length of the LED's from the first to the last, not the connecting cables.

I see this at the bottom of the page:

Product Dimensions: 384.0mm x 10.0mm x 1.5mm / 15.1" x 0.4" x 0.1"

Is the strip 3 metres in length?

For the project I would like to use these on, if they are 3 metres, can the strip be cut into sections, arranged in 1 metre strips and reconnected?

The PCB is 384mm (0.384 meters) long - excluding connectors & cables.

It can be shortened. There is only about 1mm between pixels, so you will probably lose a LED to the saw kerf in the process.

Connecting to the input-side of the cut piece will also be challanging. You will need to solder wires directly to the pads for the first remaining pixel. Although it should be possible with a fine tip iron and a steady hand.

These are the only length available at this time.
