Which single color Neopixel strip designs are the best?
This question does not make sense as neopixels are multi color.. I have never seen a single color variant at least.
Agreed.Quote:

Neopixel is a term adafruit coined for pixel LED's such as WS2812B chips, They did not create the actual LED's.
I could only find a 3000k or 6000k white version in single color.
Unless a single color version is much brighter or efficient I do not really see why you would want one.
I've also never seen single color 5050 or even 3535 footprint LEDs come in the correct density for saber blades. At least not on a strip.
Adafruit's site sells single color LED strips. Would they not work for lightsabers?
They probably would, though you might be happy with the results. Part of the advantage to neopixels are the colors.
Can you link those? I could not find them. All I saw was the white only pixel chips not strips.Quote:

Most the time I see single color strips, they are far less, usually around 60-80 LEDs per meter. Though it has been a while since I last looked for such a thing since RGB addressable pixels have become somewhat of a norm.Quote:

Not to mention the super small ones on adafruits site that are single color strips require a 9-12v power supply. Leaves all current soundboards out of use since they all are designed to operate off a single li-ion cell which is 4.2v at full charge.
