Make your own smart \u003cstrong\u003eCool White\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eLED\u003c\/strong\u003e arrangement with the same integrated LED dr that is used in our new fancy DotStar strips.  Unlit, the color resembles a yellow Starburst. Lit up these are insanely bright (like ow my eye hurts) and can be controlled with 24 bit high-frequency PWM. The phosphor helps diffuse the 3 white dies inside together for a very bright but consistant light, compared to what you get by trying to mix RGB to make white (which never quite looks right)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tiny 5050 (5mm x 5mm) SMD LED is fairly easy to solder and is the most compact way possible to integrate multiple bright LEDs to a design. If you want to prototype with these, we recommend our 5050-size LED breakout PCBs, solder them on for a breadboard-friendly package\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThey're also a great upgrade for people who have loved and used NeoPixels for a few years but want to use the same kind of technology for monochromatic lighting. DotStar LEDs use generic 2-wire SPI, so you can push data much faster than with the NeoPixel 800 KHz protocol and there's no specific timing required. They also have much higher PWM refresh rates, so you can do Persistence-of-Vision (POV) and have less flickering, particularly at low brightness levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLike NeoPixels, DotStar LEDs are 5050-sized LEDs with an embedded microcontroller \u003cstrong\u003einside the LED\u003c\/strong\u003e. You can set the brightness of each of 3 individual cool white dies epoxied into the case. Each LED acts like a shift register, reading incoming data on the input pins, and then shifting the previous data out on the output pin. By sending a long string of data, you can control an infinite number of LEDs, just tack on more or disconnect unwanted LEDs at the end. The PWM is built into each LED-chip so once you set the brightness you can stop talking to the strip and it will continue to PWM all the LEDs for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnother nice thing about DotStars is their high PWM rate. You only have to set the brightness data for each pixel LED once, and then the LED+built-in-chip will handle the PWMing. On NeoPixels, this PWM rate happens 400 Hz, which works well but is noticably at lower brightnesses and if the strip is moving in any way.  DotStars have a 20 KHz PWM rate, so even when moving the LED around, you won't see the pixelation, the blending is very smooth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComes in a package with 10 individual LEDs.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWe have a tutorial showing wiring, power usage calculations, example code for usage, etc. for DotStars Please check it out!\u003c\/b\u003e Please note that the tutorial and code talk about RGB, but of course, this LED is just WWW, three individual white LEDs instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cdiv id=\"tab-technical-details-content\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse in\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"col-lg-12 col-md-12 col-sm-12 col-xs-12\"\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle LED: 5mm x 5mm \/ 0.2\" x 0.2\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe don't have any more specifics about this particular LED other than it is 6000-6500K color temp and seems to have 3 white LEDs in place of the normal Red\/Green\/Blue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul id=\"product-files\"\u003e \u003cli\u003e\nSK9822 Datasheet \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-lg-2 col-md-3 col-sm-3 col-xs-4\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-lg-2 col-md-3 col-sm-3 col-xs-4\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Adafruit","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53774831714669,"sku":"eao1787257302969","price":2.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0920\/0526\/9869\/files\/5050-cool-white-led-w-integrated-driver-chip---10-pack-6000k_1.jpg?v=1787257308"},{"product_id":"flexible-8x32-neopixel-rgb-led-matrix-discontinued","title":"Flexible 8x32 NeoPixel RGB LED Matrix [Discontinued]","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor advanced NeoPixel fans, we how have a bendable, flexible 8x32 NeoPixel LED Matrix!

You can set the brightness of each of 3 individual cool white dies epoxied into the case. Each LED acts like a shift register, reading incoming data on the input pins, and then shifting the previous data out on the output pin. By sending a long string of data, you can control an infinite number of LEDs, just tack on more or disconnect unwanted LEDs at the end. The PWM is built into each LED-chip so once you set the brightness you can stop talking to the strip and it will continue to PWM all the LEDs for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnother nice thing about DotStars is their high PWM rate. You only have to set the brightness data for each pixel LED once, and then the LED+built-in-chip will handle the PWMing. On NeoPixels, this PWM rate happens 400 Hz, which works well but is noticably at lower brightnesses and if the strip is moving in any way.

This tiny 5050 (5mm x 5mm) SMD LED is the most compact way possible to integrate multiple bright LEDs to a design. Rather than NeoPixels, this disk uses DotStar LEDs, which use a 2-wire protocol that is less timing-specific and has high-frequency PWM for smoother color blending.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLike NeoPixels, DotStar LEDs are 5050-sized LEDs with an embedded microcontroller \u003cstrong\u003einside the LED\u003c\/strong\u003e. You can set the color\/brightness of each LED to 24-bit color (8 bits each red green and blue). Each LED acts like a shift register, reading incoming color data on the input pins, and then shifting the previous color data out on the output pin. By sending a long string of data, you can control an infinite number of LEDs. The PWM is built into each LED-chip so once you set the color you can stop talking to the disk and it will continue to PWM all the LEDs for you\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnother nice thing about DotStars is their high PWM rate. You only have to set the 24-bit color data for each pixel LED once, and then the LED+built-in-chip will handle the PWMing of the red, green and blue. On NeoPixels, this PWM rate happens 400 Hz, which works well but is noticably at lower brightnesses and if the strip is moving in any way.  DotStars have a 20 KHz PWM rate, so even when moving the disk around, you won't see the pixelation, the color blending is very smooth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou'll need \u003cem\u003ea lot\u003c\/em\u003e of power to fully light up this disk, so be sure to pick of a 5V 10A power supply!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWe have a tutorial showing wiring, power usage calculations, example code for usage, etc. Please check it out!\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote\u003c\/strong\u003e: Shipping weight reflects UPS' new dimensional weight regulations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cdiv id=\"tab-technical-details-content\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse in\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"col-lg-12 col-md-12 col-sm-12 col-xs-12\"\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAPA102C Datasheet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDotstar RGB LED Disk Datasheet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisk Diameter: 242mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisk Thickness: 3mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 187g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul id=\"product-files\"\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"col-lg-2 col-md-3 col-sm-3 col-xs-4\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Adafruit","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53774832009581,"sku":"vpz1787257313762","price":102.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0920\/0526\/9869\/files\/dotstar-rgb-led-disk---240mm-diameter-discontinued_1.jpg?v=1787257318"},{"product_id":"3w-rgb-led-common-anode","title":"3W RGB LED - Common Anode","description":"\u003cp style=\"line-height: 20.7999992370605px;\"\u003eBetter grab your sunglasses, your sunscreen, and a bucket hat because this 3W RGB LED is so bright it's like like taking a beach vacation ON THE SUN.

Using a 2-wire SPI interface, DotStars offer faster data rates, smoother dimming, and minimal flicker—perfect for POV and precision lighting. Each 5050 LED delivers crisp, consistent white light with 24-bit PWM control and effortless integration with most microcontrollers.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMove over NeoPixels, there's a new LED strip in town! These fancy new DotStar LED strips are a great upgrade for people who have loved and used NeoPixel strips for a few years but want something even better. DotStar LEDs use generic 2-wire SPI, so you can push data much faster than with the NeoPixel 800 KHz protocol, and there's no specific timing required. They also have much higher PWM refresh rates, so you can do Persistence-of-Vision (POV) and have less flickering, particularly at low brightness levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMake your own smart Cool White LED arrangement with the same integrated LED driver that is used in our DotStar or NeoPixel LED strips.  Unlit, the colour resembles a yellow Starburst. Lit up, these are insanely bright (like ouch my eyes hurt) and can be controlled with 24 bit high-frequency PWM. The phosphor helps diffuse the 3 white dies inside together for a very bright but consistent light, compared to what you get by trying to mix RGB to make white (which never quite looks right)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, unlike NeoPixels, these LEDs have 2 wires (input and output) for sending data - one clock pin and one data pin. That means you need two pins, not one, to control DotStars. Because the clock and data is separated, you can use any processor speed or type to control these strips, and you don't have to worry about being careful with the timing. Hardware SPI support is handy, but not required. This makes them excellent for use with any microcontroller or microprocessor, including Arduino, Raspberry Pi, BeagleBone, Propeller, SparkCore, and any 'raw' microcontrollers\/microprocessors. It's very easy to port the library, and you can send data to the pixels at up to 32MHz clock rate!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNeoPixel LEDs use 800 KHz protocol, so specific timing is required. On NeoPixels, the PWM rate is 400 Hz, which works well but is noticeable if the LED is moving. In comparison, DotStars have a 20 KHz PWM rate, so even when moving the LED around, you won't see the pixelation, the blending is very smooth. (We recommend DotStars if you can use them!)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a full meter of the 144 LED-per-meter version of our DotStar strips, on white flex PCB.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe strip is made of flexible PCB material, and comes with a weatherproof sheathing. You can cut this stuff pretty easily with wire cutters, there are cut-lines every 1 LED. Solder to the 0.1\" copper pads, and you're good to go. Of course, you can also connect strips together to make them longer, just watch how much current you need! A 5V 4A power supply that can drive a half meter or meter, a 5V\/10A supply that can drive a couple meters (depending on use) You must use a 5V DC power supply to power these strips, do not use higher than 6V, or you can destroy the entire strip\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis strip comes as a single full meter with a 4-pin JST SM connector on each end. If you buy multiples, you will get multiple 1 meter strips, they will not come on a continuous strip! To wire up these strips, we suggest picking up some JST SM plug and receptacle cables for the signal wires. For the power wires, you will also probably want a 2.1mm DC jack to wire in so you can connect one of our 5V wall adapters to power it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/yPC25TrT-co?si=aTxmgw9TYexaNElK\u0026amp;start=643\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWidth (with weatherstripping): 14mm \/ 0.55\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWidth (w\/o weatherstripping): 12.7mm \/ 0.5\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThickness (with weatherstripping):  4mm \/ 0.16\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e144 LEDs per meter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePixel Pitch: 6.7mm \/ 0.3\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperating Temperature: -40°C - 40°C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStorage Temperature: -10°C - 50°C\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNote: Strips come with 4 solder points per segment, but the arrangement may vary depending on the supplier, so please check when soldering\/powering!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle LED: 5mm x 5mm \/ 0.2\" x 0.2\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt is 6000-6500K colour temp and seems to have 3 white LEDs in place of the normal Red\/Green\/Blue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eResources\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDatasheet 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDatasheet 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTutorial\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePackage Contents\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x Adafruit DotStar LED Strip - Cool White - 144 LED\/m - 6000K - 1m\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul id=\"product-files\"\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Adafruit","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53774832206189,"sku":"vcc1787257321619","price":56.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0920\/0526\/9869\/files\/adafruit-dotstar-led-strip---cool-white---144-ledm-6000k---1m_1.jpg?v=1787257326"},{"product_id":"miniature-8x8-blue-led-matrix","title":"Miniature 8x8 Blue LED Matrix","description":"\u003cp\u003eYou will squeak with delight when you hold this adorable miniature LED matrix. 0.8\" square, its got everything a big LED matrix has, but bite sized! 64 bright blue LEDs are contained inside the plastic body, in an 8x8 matrix.
