Smart LED WS2812B Pixel

The Smart LED WS2812B Pixel features an individually addressable RGB LED, making it easy to create colourful lighting effect using a single microcontroller pin.

These small LEDs are not just ordinary lights - each is unique because it has a built-in small integrated circuit (IC) that is able to turn on the LED light in 16 million different colours.

IC is WS2812 and it uses a single wire that can control thousands of these LEDs. With a little imagination by putting these pixels, you get superior effects with a minimum effort. These lamps are easy to control with Arduino or similar microcontrollers.
