Add vibrant, individually addressable RGB lighting to your project with this 1-metre SK9822 LED strip. Featuring 60 LEDs with integrated drivers, each pixel can be independently controlled for colour and brightness over a standard SPI interface — no strict timing requirements like one-wire protocols.
The SK9822 offers constant-current control, so voltage drops over long power runs have minimal effect on colour and brightness as long as the supply stays above 3.5V. An additional 5-bit brightness register allows smooth dimming while maintaining full 24-bit colour control. Works as a drop-in replacement for APA102C-based strips in most applications.
Key Features
- 60 Addressable RGB LEDs – Individually controllable colour and brightness per pixel
- SPI Interface – Separate data and clock lines with no strict timing requirements
- 5-Bit Global Brightness Control – Smooth dimming independent of 24-bit colour data
- Constant-Current Driver – Consistent colour and brightness even with voltage drops
- 5V Operation – Functions reliably down to 3.5V input
- 1 m Length – 60 LEDs/m density, flexible strip format
- Chainable – Connect multiple strips end-to-end for longer runs
Ideal For
- Ambient and decorative lighting projects
- Wearables and cosplay props
- LED displays and signage
- Microcontroller-driven lighting effects
Package Contents
- 1× SK9822 Addressable RGB LED Strip (60 LEDs, 1 m, 5V)
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- constant-current driver
- A constant-current driver supplies a set current to its load even as the load voltage changes. It is commonly used to keep LED brightness consistent and protect LEDs from being overdriven, whether for indicator LEDs, high-power lighting, or display backlights.
- LED
- A light-emitting diode (LED) is a small electronic component that emits light when current flows through it in the correct direction. Because it only conducts one way, its polarity matters, and a through-hole LED must be soldered the correct way around to light up.
- microcontroller
- A microcontroller is a small computer on a single chip that runs a stored program and controls connected inputs and outputs such as buttons, sensors, displays and communication interfaces. In a device built around one, it is the part that executes the code and coordinates the device's behaviour.
- RGB
- Short for red, green and blue, the three primary colours of light that are mixed in varying amounts to make a wide range of colours. In electronics RGB can refer to an LED or pixel that blends these three colours, or to a colour signal or interface that carries separate red, green and blue channels.
- SPI
- A fast serial communication bus often used for displays, memory cards, and sensors. It matters because SPI devices need specific pins for clock and data, plus a separate chip-select line for each device.
