Digital_RGB_LED_Strip_120_LED_White_Black_SKU_FIT0612

Introduction

This WS2812 RGB LED strip is composed of a series of colorful LEDs. All of the LEDs can be controlled by us with just one signal line. Each LED is an individual pixel point that consists of the three primary colors: red, green and blue. It is able to achieve 256 levels brightness display and 16777216 full color display. Meanwhile, we set intelligent digital port data latch and signal reshaping amplification drive circuit inside the LED, greatly ensuring the consistency of pixel point light color.

With good flexibility, this strip of pure color can be arbitrary bent or cut off. The adhesive tape on the back of the LED strip makes it able to be fixed on anywhere. Power it up, you will be in a magical and colorful world in seconds. They can be widely used in home decoration, festival interactive activity, intelligent LED, shining DIY device, and so on.

Result

The LED strip will display a breathing effect after the program is upload successfully.
