NeoPixel Ring - 16 x 5050 RGBW LEDs w/ Integrated Drivers - Natural White - ~4500K

Introducing the 16 LED RGBW NeoPixel Ring in Natural White – an upgraded version of the classic RGB LED ring, now featuring 4 LEDs (red, green, blue, and white) for more vibrant and dynamic lighting effects. This NeoPixel ring is perfect for adding both colorful and bright white lighting to your projects.

• 16 Ultra-bright LEDs: The ring features 16 high-quality NeoPixels arranged in a circle with a 1.75" (44.5mm) outer diameter.
• Chainable Design: Easily connect multiple rings by linking the output pin of one to the input pin of another, allowing you to control many rings with a single microcontroller pin.
• Individually Addressable LEDs: Each LED has an embedded driver chip, enabling individual control of color and brightness for each LED.
• Constant Current Drive: Each LED has an ~18mA constant current drive, ensuring consistent brightness and color even when the voltage fluctuates. No external choke resistors are required, keeping the design compact.
• Powered by 5VDC: The entire ring operates on 5VDC, making it easy to power and integrate into your projects.
• RGBW Split LEDs: The ring features both RGB LEDs and a white LED with a yellow phosphor. When unlit, the white LEDs resemble egg yolks, but when illuminated, they provide a super-bright light.
• 32-bit Color Control: With 8-bit PWM per channel (8 x 4 channels), you have complete control over 32-bit color per pixel, perfect for creating vibrant, colorful effects alongside bright white lighting.
• PWM and Timing: NeoPixel LEDs use an 800 KHz protocol and have a PWM rate of ~400 Hz, which works well but may show pixelation when the LEDs are in motion. For smoother blending during movement, DotStars are recommended with their 20 KHz PWM rate.
• 5050-sized LEDs with Embedded Microcontroller: Each NeoPixel LED is a 5050-sized LED with an integrated microcontroller, allowing for precise 8-bit PWM control of the R/G/B/W channels.
• Single Pin Control: Control the entire ring using just one digital output pin. Once the color is set, the built-in PWM will continue to control the LEDs without needing additional communication.
• Library and Code Support: To use the RGBW functionality, you’ll need a NeoPixel library with RGBW support. The Adafruit NeoPixel library is compatible, but other libraries may require adjustments.
• Tutorial and Guide: Detailed tutorials, wiring diagrams, power calculations, and example code are available to help you get started. The NeoPixel Uberguide provides comprehensive instructions for using NeoPixels with various Arduino boards (UNO, Due, Mega, etc.).
• Pre-assembled and Tested: The NeoPixel ring comes fully assembled and tested, featuring 16 individually addressable RGBW LEDs, ready for integration into your projects.

Add the 16 LED RGBW NeoPixel Ring in Natural White to your project for vibrant color and powerful white lighting effects in a compact and customizable design.
