NeoPixel 1/4 60 Ring - 5050 RGBW LED w/
Integrated Drivers - Warm White - ~3000K
PRODUCT ID: 2873
Description
What is better than smart RGB LEDs? Smart RGB+White LEDs! These NeoPixels now have 4 LEDs in
them (red, green, blue
and
white) for excellent lighting effects. Round and round and round they
go!

With four of these you can make a huge ring with 60 ultra bright smart LED NeoPixels are
arranged in a circle with a 6.2" diameter.Each order comes with just the quarter ring. Four of
this item are required to make a large ring. You will have to solder them together as well, so
for the full ring of 60 LEDs, buy four and solder them together!
The rings are 'chainable' - connect the output pin of one to the input pin of another. Use only
one microcontroller pin to control as many as you can chain together! Each LED is addressable as
the driver chip is inside the LED. Each one has ~18mA constant current drive so the color will be
very consistent even if the voltage varies, and no external choke resistors are required making
the design slim. Power the whole thing with 5VDC and you're ready to rock.
The NeoPixel is 'split', one half is the RGB you know and love, the other half is a white LED with a
yellow phosphor. Unlit, it resembles an egg yolk. Lit up these are insanely bright (like ow my eye
hurts) and can be controlled with 8-bit PWM per channel (8 x 4 channels = 32-bit color overall).
Great for adding lots of colorful + white dots to your project!

NeoPixelsare 5050-sized LEDs with an embedded microcontrollerinside the LED . You can set
the brightness and color of each R/G/B/W with 8-bit PWM precision (so 32-bit color per pixel).
The LEDs are controlled by shift-registers and only 1 digital output pin are required to send data
down. The PWM is built into each LED-chip so once you set the color you can stop talking to the
ring and it will continue to PWM all the LEDs for you.

Comes with one quarter ring of 15 x individually addressable RGB LEDs assembled and
tested.We recommend you buy four to build the full circle as this is just the 1/4 of the circle.
