## Description

This high-power RGB LED from Adafruit delivers serious brightness, with each red, green, and blue die capable of handling 350–750mA continuous current (2A peak). At 3W it produces approximately 150 lumens, scaling up to around 300 lumens at the full 9W. The LED comes pre-mounted on an aluminium PCB that serves as both a mounting base and partial heatsink. This is a common-anode configuration, so all three colour channels share a single positive connection. Key Features High Power Output – 3W to 9W operation with up to ~300 lumens Full RGB Colour Mixing – Independent red, green, and blue dies for millions of colours Common Anode – Shared positive connection for all three channels Aluminium PCB Mount – Pre-mounted on a metal-core PCB for heat dissipation High Current Capacity – 350–750mA continuous per channel, 2A peak Specifications Power – 3W (at ~350mA/channel) to 9W (at ~750mA/channel) Luminous Output – ~150 lumens at 3W, ~300 lumens at 9W Configuration – Common anode Current per Channel – 350–750mA continuous, 2A peak Mounting – Aluminium PCB Ideal For High-brightness RGB lighting projects Stage and effects lighting Colour-mixing experiments Custom lamp and fixture builds Package Contents 1× 3W–9W RGB LED on aluminium PCB Warning: At 3–9W this LED generates significant heat. An additional heatsink, fan, or other cooling is required for safe continuous operation. Do not operate without adequate thermal management.
