Adafruit NeoPixel Warm White LED w/ Integrated Driver Chip - 10 Pack

For those seeking simplicity, explore the brilliance of monochrome 'smart LEDs'. Create your smart warm white LED setup using the integrated LED driver from our NeoPixel LED strips.

When unlit, the LED resembles an egg yolk, but when illuminated, it emits an intensely bright light that's simple to control with 24-bit high-frequency PWM. The phosphor ensures a consistent blend of the three white dies inside, offering a seamless white light.

This compact 5050 SMD LED (5mm x 5mm) is easy to solder and excels in integrating multiple bright LEDs into a design. For prototyping, pair with our 5050-size LED breakout PCBs for a breadboard-ready solution.

NeoPixel LEDs employ an 800 KHz protocol, necessitating precise timing. While NeoPixels operate at a 400 Hz PWM rate, noticeable during LED movement, DotStars offer a smoother experience with their 20 KHz rate, ideal for dynamic applications.

NeoPixels feature a 5050-sized LED with an integrated microcontroller allowing individual brightness control of three cool white dies. Acting as a shift register, each LED can process an incoming data stream, managing countless LEDs simply by extending the string or removing unwanted LEDs.

Each LED-chip handles PWM internally, maintaining your set brightness continuously without further input. Sold in a package of 10, they provide endless possibilities. Explore our comprehensive tutorial for wiring, power calculations, and example code to enhance your NeoPixel journey.
