This loop will move a group of pixels from one end of the LED strip to the other. The central pixel in the group will be brighter then the other pixels
void loop() {
for (int i=0; i<NUMBER_PIEXELS-4; i++) {
strip.setPixelColor(i, 5, 0, 0); // turn the "i"th pixel on
strip.setPixelColor(i+1, 50, 0, 0); // turn the i+1 pixel
strip.setPixelColor(i+2, 255, 0, 0); // turn the "i"th pixel on
strip.setPixelColor(i+3, 50, 0, 0); // turn the "i"th pixel on
strip.setPixelColor(i+4, 5, 0, 0); // turn the "i"th pixel on
strip.show();
delay(500); // wait 2/10th of a second
strip.setPixelColor(i, 0, 0, 0); // turn the "i"th pixel on
strip.setPixelColor(i+1, 0, 0, 0); // turn the i+1 pixel
