NeoPixel Ring - 24 x 5050 RGBW LEDs w/ Integrated Drivers - Cool
White - ~6000K
PRODUCT ID: 2863
Description
What is better than smart RGB LEDs? Smart RGB+White LEDs! These NeoPixel rings now have 4 LEDs
in them (red, green, blue
and
white) for excellent lighting effects. Round and round and round
they go!

24 ultra bright smart LED NeoPixels are arranged in a circle with 2.58" (65.5mm) outer diameter.
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!
