Adafruit New Products October 2020

Ultra Bright 3 Watt Chainable NeoPixel LED

4544

Elmwood Electronics has stopped accepting orders. This product might be available at PiShop.ca. Please check this blog post about our recent team merger.

Better grab your sunglasses, your sunscreen, and a bucket hat because these NeoPixels feature a 3W RGB LED and are so bright it's like taking a vacation ON THE SUN. Alright maybe we're exaggerating, but these are really bright.

These chainable NeoPixel LEDs are not only super-smart, they are ridonkulously bright with 3W total, compared to 0.2W of a 'standard' NeoPixel.

Each order comes with one 3W NeoPixel LED on an aluminum PCB/holder/heatsink. Please note that even though the PCB acts as a heatsink, 3W is a lot of power to dissipate as heat so you may need an additional heatsink or fan or other cooling mechanism! 

Each order comes with ONE fully assembled NeoPixel with JST 3 SM connectors at both ends, we stock cables that you can use to connect!

Adafruit has a tutorial showing NeoPixel wiring, power usage calculations, example code for usage, etc. Please check it out!

Please note, these are high power LEDs, you need a strong 5V power supply that can provide at least 1/2 A per LED
