SparkFun RGB Addressable CBI LED 5mm - Right Angle

A revolutionary right-angle 5mm addressable LED, the first of its kind, is now available. Perfect for projects requiring a clean, clear indicator through an enclosure, this LED features an APA106/WS2812/Neopixel type RGB addressable driver with data in and data out pins. Compatible with the FastLED library, it offers versatile color and brightness control with a single wire.

When integrating electronics into enclosures, achieving a professional-looking indicator can be challenging. This right-angle LED simplifies the process, providing a sleek and efficient solution for displaying status indicators through enclosure walls.

Traditional CBIs (circuit board indicators) are outdated, often originating from the 1980s. Modern projects demand more advanced and customizable solutions. This addressable RGB CBI was developed to fill that gap, offering a contemporary alternative for today's innovative designs.

The integrated RGB driver inside the diffused 5mm LED allows for dynamic color and brightness control. With a single wire, multiple board edge indicators can be driven, offering endless customization possibilities for your projects.
