Adafruit Ultra Bright 4 Watt Chainable RGBW NeoPixel LED - Cool White

Better grab some sunglasses, sunscreen, and a bucket hat because these NeoPixels feature a 4W RGBW Cool White LED and are bright enough to rival a sunny day. These chainable NeoPixel LEDs are not only intelligent but also deliver an impressive 4W total brightness, with each channel offering 1W, surpassing the usual 0.2W of a standard NeoPixel.

Every purchase includes a single RGBW NeoPixel LED mounted on an aluminum PCB/holder/heatsink. Although the PCB provides some heat dissipation, additional cooling solutions like a heatsink or fan may be necessary due to the high power output.

You'll receive one fully assembled NeoPixel with JST 3 SM connectors at both ends. It’s important to verify the wiring and cable polarity, as they may differ from other NeoPixel strips. Make sure your NeoPixel driver is set to RGBW mode, activating the 6000K white LED element on the 4th channel.

A tutorial is available, detailing NeoPixel wiring, power calculation, and example codes for various applications. For optimal performance, use a robust 5V power supply capable of delivering at least 1/2 A per LED. A Warm White version of these chainable NeoPixels is also offered.
