If you buy less than a full reel, you'll get a single strip, but it will be a cut piece from a reel which may or may not have a connector on it. If the piece comes from the end of the reel, the connector may be on the output end of the strip!

All you need is a way to get a ton of photons into your light pipe, and that's what this is! It's Fiber Optic Light Source in a cool white color. It's a high powered LED cluster, you need to power it with 9-12V and 100mA of current, the metal body acts as a heat sink. Then, installation is a breeze. Just loosen the clear knob on the LED emitter and slide one of our fiber optic tubes.

When circularly polarized light passes through a diagonal polarizer, it is transformed into linearly polarized light at a 45-degree angle. The circular polarization can be decomposed into two linear components at 90 degrees to each other, and the diagonal polarizer allows only the component aligned with its axis to pass through.

No, the handedness (right-handed or left-handed) of the circular polarization does not affect the outcome. Both types of circularly polarized light will be converted into linearly polarized light at a 45-degree angle when passing through a diagonal polarizer.

Circular polarization is a type of light polarization where the electric field vector rotates in a circular motion as the light propagates. This can be right-handed or left-handed, depending on the direction of rotation.

A diagonal polarizer is a type of linear polarizer that allows light polarized at a 45-degree angle to the horizontal or vertical axis to pass through.

Adafruit NeoPixel Digital RGB LED strips come to us in 4 or 5 meter reels with a 2 or 3-pin JST SM connector on each end and separated power/ground wires as shown in the picture below. If you order a full 4 or 5 meters, you get the full reel with both connectors installed.

This is a pretty neat way to glow up. Light in the fiber optic cable zooms through the core by constantly bouncing off of the edge of the molded plastic, a principle called "total internal reflection" (which also kinda sounds like a very expensive meditation island retreat). When the light pipe doesn't have total reflection, you can get a nifty lighting effect from the light illuminating the plastic tubing.

The intensity of the light is reduced by half when circularly polarized light passes through a diagonal polarizer. This is because the circularly polarized light can be seen as having equal components of linear polarization at 90 degrees to each other, and only one of these components is allowed to pass through the diagonal polarizer.
