Our testing shows they can handle up to 200mA, but limiting the current to 50-100mA can prolong their durability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOr, if you're feeling adventurous, you could connect them to a microcontroller's GPIO pin and use PWM to control the brightness or create cool flickering effects. Just make sure your microcontroller is okay with the current capacity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe anode, or positively charged end with the small hole, should be connected to a power source, while the cathode, the opposite end without a hole, serves as the ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNotes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe listed length includes the contacts so the usable length of LEDs is a little shorter - around 120mm.

While bending the strip front to back is acceptable, avoid twisting or flexing it from side to side, as this could result in damage. Keep in mind that pulling on the strip too forcefully could also cause it to snap.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Smart Hut","offers":[{"title":"Warm White 2700K \/ Yes","offer_id":54860783091980,"sku":null,"price":4.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warm White 2700K \/ No","offer_id":54860792824076,"sku":null,"price":3.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Green \/ Yes","offer_id":54860783124748,"sku":null,"price":4.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Green \/ No","offer_id":54860792856844,"sku":null,"price":3.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Red \/ Yes","offer_id":54860783157516,"sku":null,"price":4.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Red \/ No","offer_id":54860792889612,"sku":null,"price":3.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pink \/ Yes","offer_id":54860783190284,"sku":null,"price":4.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pink \/ No","offer_id":54860792922380,"sku":null,"price":3.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Blue \/ Yes","offer_id":54860783223052,"sku":null,"price":4.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Blue \/ No","offer_id":54860792955148,"sku":null,"price":3.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/5730\/1004\/files\/noodle-colours-smol-shopify.png?v=1761161257","url":"https:\/\/thesmarthut.com\/products\/133mm-led-noodle","provider":"Smart Hut","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
