Overview

The Adafruit 2758 is a pack of 10 addressable SK6812RGBW LEDs that integrate a control circuit and RGBW chips into a 5050-sized SMD package. Unlike standard RGB LEDs, these include a dedicated Neutral White element (approx. 4000K-4500K) to provide cleaner white light and better color saturation.

Why Choose This Part

The integrated SK6812 driver features built-in constant current and a high precision RC oscillator, ensuring consistent color even if the supply voltage fluctuates between 3.5V and 5.5V. Its single-wire NRZ communication protocol allows for easy daisy-chaining of multiple LEDs without requiring complex wiring.

Applications

Decorative Lighting
Creating custom LED strips or matrices for ambient room lighting and architectural accents.
Status Indicators
Using individual pixels to signal complex system states through color and brightness patterns.
Wearable Electronics
Integrating into flexible circuits or clothing due to the low component count required per pixel.

Getting Started

These LEDs are easily controlled using the Adafruit_NeoPixel library for Arduino or the CircuitPython NeoPixel module. Connect a 5V power supply, ground, and a single digital pin from a microcontroller to the Data Input (DI) pin, ensuring a 300-500 ohm resistor is used on the data line to prevent damage.
