Adafruit White LED Backlight Module - Large 45mm x 86mm

These LED backlights are crafted with precision, incorporating a single white LED within a 3.5mm acrylic strip that ensures optimal light diffusion for near-uniform brightness. The acrylic material's light-scattering properties enhance the visibility and brilliance of the LED, making it an ideal choice for various applications.

With a lit area of 45mm x 86mm, this backlight provides ample illumination, perfect for creative projects or wearable technology without the need for an inverter. Simply power it with ~3V at 20mA and enjoy its vivid glow. A reflector on the flat side directs light upwards, maximizing brightness and efficiency.

Personalize your lighting effects by incorporating gels to alter color, or customize the shape with vinyl masks or markers. While its rigidity limits flexibility, it offers a brighter alternative to EL lighting and is more battery-efficient. Use a resistor to control the current for safe, optimal performance.
