RGB Smart NeoPixel – Breadboard-Friendly (Pack of 4) – The easiest way to add small, bright, and fully programmable RGB LEDs to your project. These breadboard-friendly NeoPixels use the same proven technology as Flora NeoPixels, redesigned with 0.1″ pin spacing for easy soldering, chaining, and breadboard use.

Each pixel has a built-in constant-current driver directly inside the LED package, which means stable brightness and color even if your power source fluctuates. The pixels are chainable, so you only need one data pin to control multiple LEDs.

These NeoPixels support 24-bit color (8-bit per RGB channel), with PWM handled internally by the controller chip. Because they’re extremely bright, you can achieve great visual effects without driving them at maximum power all the time.

Each pixel can draw up to ~60mA at full white (all RGB channels on). An Arduino-class microcontroller can drive hundreds of pixels at reasonable frame rates, though practical limits depend on memory and power delivery. For best results, keep pixel spacing within ~6 inches when chaining.

Note: This pack includes 4 individually controllable NeoPixels. Headers are not included. Photos may show headers soldered for demonstration only.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need multiple pins to control these LEDs?

No. All NeoPixels use a single data pin, regardless of how many pixels you chain together (plus power and ground).

How much power do they need?

Each pixel can draw up to ~60mA at full white. For multiple pixels, use a proper power supply instead of powering directly from a microcontroller pin.

Are headers included?

No. Headers are not included so you can choose straight, right-angle, or custom wiring.

Which boards are compatible?

Compatible with Arduino, ESP32, ESP8266, Raspberry Pi Pico, and other microcontrollers that can generate the NeoPixel timing protocol.

Which library should I use?

The Adafruit NeoPixel library is the most common and beginner-friendly option.
