Hi, I am currently working on a project where I am considering using the LED strips, however I need to be able to program them to light up in a certain order so I am confused which of these two products would be easier to program them with an Arduino mega Digital RGB LED Weatherproof Strip 32 LED - (1m) or the Adafruit NeoPixel Digital RGB LED Weatherproof Strip 30 LED.
thank you.

Re: help chosing the right LED product
Programming and power requirements for these two strips are nearly identical. The 32 led strips use the LPD8806 and require 2 pins for control. The Neopixels require only 1 pin. The neopixel strip is slightly narrower (12.5mm vs 16.5mm). Either will work well with the Mega.
