Product details

We know this looks like a lot of our other LEDs, but it's not! This is a PTH Addressable RGB LED with a WS2812 control IC built right into the LED. This PTH version is incredibly similar to its SMD cousin, except it is a lot simpler to solder into your project and is in a clear 5mm package. This RGB LED has the control IC moved into the actual LED, so we wanted to offer this amazing product to you! They’re great when you need a lot of color from not a lot of board space, now more so than ever. If you are looking for a great addressable LED in the more common LED form factor, then this is the perfect choice for you. Note: Comes in packs of 5. Features: Power Supply: DC 4.5V - 6V Internal Frequency: 800kHz Single Wire Single Transmission Documents: Datasheet WS2812 Hookup Guide Product Video

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Disappointing. . . I ordered 50 of these to build special light bases for some fiber optic Christmas trees. When they work, they are fine. Unfortunately out of the 40 I've used so far, 6 of them failed which is a 15% failure rate. I have 10 left so if the failure rate is consistent I could lose 1 or 2 more. And no, I did not wire them incorrectly and destroy them. I have over 50 years experience in electronics so have a clue as to what I'm doing.
