Adafruit White LED Backlight Module - Medium 23mm x 75mm

These innovative strips of light serve as plastic diffused backlights, typically hidden in LCD displays. Featuring individually available LEDs, each one is encased in a 3.5mm thick acrylic strip, ensuring excellent diffusion for near-uniform lighting despite only housing a single white LED.

Specifications include a reflector on the opposite flat side to maximize brightness by emitting light solely from the top. Powered like any standard LED, requiring ~3V at 20mA with a series resistor to set the maximum current, these strips offer versatile lighting options.

While not flexible, color gels can modify the light color, and the strip can be customized with vinyl or marker designs. Ideal for bright, battery-efficient wearables, they're a practical alternative to EL systems without needing inverters, though they're less flexible.

The lighted area is 0.8 inches by 3 inches (23mm x 75mm), perfect for artistic projects or unique lighting solutions.
