Adafruit NeoPixel RGBW LEDs w/ Integrated Driver Chip - Warm White

Smart RGB+White LEDs offer unparalleled lighting effects with the addition of a white LED alongside red, green, and blue. These NeoPixels feature four integrated LEDs in a compact form perfect for custom designs.

The RGB+Warm White version comes with ten individual 5050-sized (5mm x 5mm) SMD LEDs, allowing for flexible arrangements. Each LED acts like a shift register with an embedded microcontroller, facilitating complex control and customization.

The LEDs support 8-bit PWM per channel, providing 32-bit color depth, with a brightness that requires caution due to its intensity. Utilizing an 800 KHz protocol, they ensure detailed lighting results, though specific timing might be needed.

Specifications include built-in PWM and the ability to manage infinite LEDs by data chaining. Tutorials for wiring, power calculations, and code examples are available for creating vivid projects.

Note that an RGBW-compatible library is necessary for accurate control. For smooth color blending and less pixelation during movement, consider DotStars with higher PWM rates.
