## Description

A strand of 20 digitally-controllable RGB LED pixel dots, each containing three 5050 RGB LEDs and a WS2801 controller chip. The pixels are encased in translucent white 30mm domes for weatherproof operation and even 180° colour spread, making them well-suited for outdoor signage and large-scale lighting installations. Data is shifted from one pixel to the next via a clock and data line, so strands can be easily cut shorter or chained together. Each pixel is individually addressable with 24-bit colour (8-bit PWM per channel) and constant-current LED driving ensures even colour throughout the strand. Key Features WS2801 Controller – 24-bit colour (16 million shades) per pixel 3× 5050 RGB LEDs Per Dot – ~4000 mcd total brightness per pixel Weatherproof Enclosure – Translucent white dome with mounting flanges Chainable – JST SM 3-pin connectors to link multiple strands Constant-Current Driven – Even colour output across the strand Two-Wire Control – Clock + data, works with any two digital pins on a microcontroller Specifications Operating Voltage – 12V DC Pixels Per Strand – 20 LEDs Per Pixel – 3× 5050 RGB (controlled as one unit) Colour Depth – 24-bit (8-bit per channel) Pixel Diameter – 30mm Connector – JST SM 3-pin (data/clock) + separate power wires Ideal For Outdoor LED signage and large-scale installations Architectural and decorative lighting Arduino-controlled light shows and animations Package Contents 1× Strand of 20 WS2801 RGB LED Pixel Dots (30mm) Tip: Power wires are brought out separately from the data connectors. A 12V 5A power supply can drive approximately 2 or more strands depending on brightness settings. Resources Adafruit WS2801 Arduino Library (GitHub) LED Pixels Tutorial (Adafruit Learn)
