NeoPixel Stick - 8 x 5050 RGBW LEDs - Cool White - ~6000K

Introducing the NeoPixel Stick with 8 individually addressable RGBW LEDs in Cool White – the perfect lighting solution for creating vibrant, customizable light effects in your projects. This NeoPixel stick combines the classic RGB color range with the added brilliance of a white LED, providing dynamic lighting possibilities.

• 8 RGBW LEDs: The stick features 8 tiny, ultra-bright 5050-sized RGBW LEDs that deliver rich, colorful light alongside bright white illumination. The LEDs are arranged on a compact PCB with mounting holes for easy integration into your design.
• Cool White Version: This version includes a white LED with a yellow phosphor, delivering a crisp cool white light when lit. It adds brightness and clarity to your projects, making your designs pop with both color and white light.
• Individually Addressable LEDs: Each LED in the stick is individually addressable, allowing you to control the color and brightness of each one independently. Perfect for creating custom light patterns, effects, or animations.
• Chainable Design: The NeoPixel stick is chainable, meaning you can connect the output pin of one stick to the input pin of another, controlling multiple sticks with a single microcontroller pin. This makes it easy to scale your project and create larger, more complex lighting displays.
• Slim and Efficient Design: The stick is powered by 5VDC (4-7V works) and requires no external resistors, making the design slim and efficient. Each LED has an 18mA constant current drive, ensuring consistent color and brightness even when voltage fluctuates.
• 32-bit Color Control: Control the brightness and color of each LED with 8-bit PWM precision per channel (R/G/B/W), providing a full 32-bit color range for rich and vibrant lighting effects.
• Timing-Sensitive Protocol: NeoPixel LEDs use an 800 KHz protocol, requiring precise timing for smooth operation. These LEDs are best controlled by real-time microcontrollers, such as an Arduino or AVR, to ensure accurate data transfer and flawless performance.
• PWM Rate: With a PWM rate of ~400 Hz, NeoPixel sticks work well for most static lighting setups. However, if you're moving the LEDs or want smoother blending, consider using DotStars, which offer a 20 KHz PWM rate for smoother transitions and animations.
• Pre-assembled and Tested: The NeoPixel Stick comes fully assembled and tested, so it's ready to use out of the box. It includes all the necessary components to get started right away.
• Tutorials and Resources: We provide tutorials covering wiring, power usage, example code, and more to help you set up and use the NeoPixel Stick. Please note, you'll need a NeoPixel library with RGBW support to control the LEDs correctly. The Adafruit NeoPixel library supports RGBW, but other libraries may require additional adjustments.

The NeoPixel Stick with 8 RGBW LEDs in Cool White is perfect for a wide range of projects, from decorative lighting to interactive displays. Whether you're designing an art installation, building a DIY project, or just adding a touch of color to your setup, this stick will help you achieve stunning results.
