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

For vibrant and versatile lighting, explore the power of Smart RGB+White LEDs. These advanced NeoPixels combine red, green, blue, and white LEDs in each package, offering excellent lighting effects.

Each LED unit features an integrated driver for efficient control, providing seamless integration into your designs. With its compact 5050 (5mm x 5mm) SMD form factor, you can easily solder them into custom arrangements, making your projects both vibrant and flexible.

Smart RGB+White LEDs offer the added benefit of a separate white LED, providing natural and warm lighting. When not lit, they have an intriguing school bus-like appearance, but once illuminated, they are intensely bright, making them ideal for impactful visual displays.

These LEDs use an 800 KHz protocol and 8-bit PWM per channel, letting you generate an outstanding 32-bit color spectrum. The PWM is embedded, ensuring each chip manages its brightness autonomously after initial setup. For smoother blending in motion, consider DotStars, which offer a higher PWM rate.

With an internal microcontroller, each LED functions as a shift register, capable of managing an infinite number of connections, making it easy to add or reduce LEDs as your project demands. Ensure you use a compatible NeoPixel library, like the Adafruit RGBW version, for precise control and optimal results.
