NeoPixel Ring - 16 x 5050 RGBW LEDs w/ Integrated Drivers - Cool White - ~6000K

Introducing the 16 LED RGBW NeoPixel Ring in Cool White – an upgraded lighting solution that combines smart RGB LEDs with a bright white LED for stunning color effects and illumination. Perfect for adding vibrant, customizable lighting to your projects.

• 16 Ultra-bright LEDs: This NeoPixel ring features 16 high-quality LEDs arranged in a circle with a 1.75" (44.5mm) outer diameter.
• Chainable Design: Connect multiple rings easily by linking the output pin of one to the input pin of another, allowing you to control many rings using just one microcontroller pin.
• Individually Addressable LEDs: Each LED has an embedded driver chip, enabling you to independently control the color and brightness of every LED.
• Constant Current Drive: With an ~18mA constant current drive for each LED, the color remains consistent even with voltage variations. No external choke resistors are needed, keeping the design compact and efficient.
• 5VDC Powered: The entire ring is powered by 5VDC, making it easy to integrate into your projects.
• RGBW Split LEDs: Each LED is split between RGB and a white LED with a yellow phosphor, which, when unlit, resembles an egg yolk. When lit, these LEDs provide an incredibly bright light that is perfect for creating both colorful and white lighting effects.
• 32-bit Color Control: You can control the color of each LED with 8-bit PWM precision across four channels (R/G/B/W), resulting in 32-bit color control per pixel.
• PWM and Timing: The NeoPixel ring uses an 800 KHz protocol, requiring precise timing. The PWM rate is ~400 Hz, which works well but may be noticeable if the LEDs are in motion. For smoother motion, DotStars are recommended as they feature a 20 KHz PWM rate.
• 5050-sized LEDs with Embedded Microcontroller: Each NeoPixel is a 5050-sized LED with an integrated microcontroller, enabling precise control of brightness and color.
• Single Pin Control: Control the entire ring with just one digital output pin. Once the color is set, the built-in PWM allows the LEDs to continue operating without additional communication.
• Library and Code Support: A NeoPixel library with RGBW support is required to fully control these LEDs. The Adafruit NeoPixel library is compatible, but other libraries may require adjustments.
• Tutorial and Guide: Detailed tutorials, wiring diagrams, power usage calculations, and example code are available for easy integration. The NeoPixel Uberguide covers everything you need to use NeoPixels with various Arduino boards (UNO, Due, Mega, etc.).
• Pre-assembled and Tested: The NeoPixel ring comes fully assembled and tested, with 16 individually addressable RGBW LEDs ready for use in your projects.

Add this versatile 16 LED RGBW NeoPixel Ring in Cool White to your project for brilliant lighting effects, combining vibrant colors with bright white light for a dynamic visual experience.
