16 LED NeoPixel Ring - RGB WS2812

Building electronics projects is great fun, but every great Maker, tinkerer and inventor knows that only the flashiest, most visible projects get the attention of the crowds. This is why we’re always eager to bring Modules and components like these LED NeoPixel Rings, which utilise 16 individually addressable RGB LED’s arranged in a ring form, for a great range of functions from simple lighting to fancy NeoPixel-based LED clocks and many other fun gadgets, devices and electronic doodads.

Although these units aren’t exactly the same as the ones supplied by Adafruit, they are designed to almost exactly the same specification, just with a slightly different diameter and thickness. This helps to save you, our favourite people, from unnecessary costs, while allowing you to enjoy all of the fun LED things that Makers from USA do. However, even though these rings are manufactured by the original creators of NeoPixel rings, these rings do still work with all of the Adafruit NeoPixel libraries – allowing you to enjoy low cost electronics with high quality code, and without having to source them from international suppliers.

Typical Applications for 16 LED RGB WS2812 NeoPixel Ring:

While these 16 RGB WS2812LED NeoPixel Rings are not precisely the same as the official Adafruit NeoPixel rings, they are designed to be as close as possible to the original design so as to ensure you can enjoy all of the same Electronics projects and LED fun that you could with the originals. As such, these NeoPixel Rings are an excellent choice for almost any application aside from high-intensity lighting. With a full RGB spectrum and individual addressability, you can create projects ranging from ambient mood lighting all the way through to NeoPixel Clocks, unique wearables or even your own “Arc Reactor” like Iron Man’s chest-mounted personal power supply.
