Adafruit NeoPixel Ring - 16 x 5050 RGBW LEDs w/ Integrated Drivers

Transform your projects with this 16 LED RGBW NeoPixel Ring, measuring 1.75" (44.5mm) in diameter. It features 16 ultra-bright, individually addressable NeoPixels that combine red, green, blue, and cool white LEDs for brilliant and versatile lighting effects.

Designed for seamless integration, these rings are chainable—simply connect the output pin of one to the input pin of another, allowing control of multiple rings with just a single microcontroller pin. Each LED is equipped with an integrated driver chip, delivering a constant current to ensure consistent colors even when voltage varies.

The embedded PWM allows precision control of brightness and color for each LED, offering a stunning 32-bit color per pixel. The design eliminates the need for external resistors, resulting in a compact and efficient setup. Power it with 5VDC and unleash a spectrum of colors combined with intense white illumination.

Utilizing an 800 KHz protocol, NeoPixels require specific timing to achieve their dazzling effects. For projects involving movement, consider the smoother blending capabilities of DotStars, which feature a higher PWM rate. Extensive tutorials and our Adafruit NeoPixel library provide comprehensive support, ensuring seamless integration with various microcontrollers.

Sold as a single ring with pre-assembled RGBW LEDs, it's perfect for those looking to add vibrant, multicolor lighting to their creations with ease and style.
