Introducing the NeoPixel Jewel in Natural White – an elegant and versatile lighting solution that combines smart RGB and white LEDs for stunning lighting effects. Perfect for adding a touch of brilliance to your projects with a touch of sophistication.
- 7 Ultra-bright RGBW LEDs: The NeoPixel Jewel features 7 individually addressable LEDs, with a combination of red, green, blue, and white for vivid lighting effects.
- Natural White Version: This version features a white LED with a yellow phosphor for a natural white light, adding extra brightness and beauty. Also available in Warm White, Cool White, and standard RGB.
- Compact and Elegant Design: The LEDs are mounted on a small, round PCB (0.9" in diameter) with mounting holes, perfect for integrating into your designs without taking up much space.
- Chainable: These NeoPixel Jewels are chainable. You can connect the output pin of one to the input pin of another, making it easy to create larger lighting setups with a single microcontroller pin controlling multiple jewels.
- Constant Current Drive: Each LED features an 18mA constant current drive, ensuring consistent color and brightness, even if the voltage varies. No external resistors are needed, keeping the design sleek and efficient.
- Power Requirements: Power the entire setup with 5VDC (4-7V is also acceptable) to get the full potential of these bright LEDs.
- 32-bit Color Control: Each LED is controlled with 8-bit PWM per channel (R/G/B/W), providing 32-bit color control per pixel, allowing you to achieve a wide range of vibrant colors and lighting effects.
- Timing-sensitive Protocol: NeoPixels use an 800 KHz protocol, which requires specific timing. These jewels can be controlled with an 8MHz or faster microcontroller such as AVR, Arduino, or PIC.
- PWM Rate: NeoPixel LEDs operate at a ~400 Hz PWM rate. While effective, this rate may become noticeable if the LEDs are in motion. For smoother transitions, DotStars are recommended.
- Microcontroller Compatibility: Due to its timing-sensitive nature, it’s important to use a real-time microcontroller like Arduino. It’s not compatible with Linux-based microcomputers or interpreted microcontrollers like Netduino or Basic Stamp.
- Pre-assembled and Tested: The NeoPixel Jewel comes fully assembled and tested, so it’s ready to go for your projects right out of the box.
Add elegance and dazzling effects to your next project with the NeoPixel Jewel in Natural White. Whether for subtle illumination or vibrant color effects, this small yet powerful board will impress with its stunning brightness and smooth, customizable lighting control.
