Best single color Neopixel LED strips

[MasterJarJar13]

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.

Neopixels are made by Adafruit. Check the official Adafruit site. Single color LED strips are offered.

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?

[Forgetful Jedi Knight]

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.

I already said why, density. normal pixel blades (non KR stick) use pixel strips that come in a 144LED per meter pixel density. 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.

This is also assuming smallest pixels of 3535 footprint SMD LEDs. Smaller, I doubt you will get enough brightness for a blade. 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.
