Adafruit DotStar Addressable 5050 RGB LED w/ Integrated Driver - 10 Pack

Create intricate and vibrant LED arrangements using our compact 5050 SMD DotStar LED, the same quality found in our advanced DotStar strips. Designed for easy soldering, it's perfect for integrating multiple LEDs into your projects.

Upgrade your projects with precision-controlled lighting. DotStar LEDs utilize a 2-wire SPI for faster data transmission compared to the NeoPixel protocol. This means no strict timing protocols, allowing for efficient and hassle-free operation.

Each LED features 24-bit color control, with 8 bits each for red, green, and blue, acting like a shift register. This allows for seamless integration of an infinite number of LEDs by extending or trimming the string to your length preference.

Our DotStars provide a smoother appearance with a 1.2 KHz PWM rate compared to the 400 Hz of NeoPixels. They are ideal for creating stunning displays with enhanced fluidity in color transitions.

Available in sets of 10 LEDs, we also offer a tutorial that covers wiring, power usage, and example coding to get you started effectively. Perfect your DIY projects with these high-performing LEDs.
