Addressable Through-Hole 5mm RGB LED with Diffused Lens, WS2811 Driver (10-Pack)

We have ✅ 1 available of the PL-2535 in our Sydney warehouse.

Express post delivery (2-5 business days)

A pack of 10 addressable RGB LEDs in a familiar 5mm through-hole form factor. Each LED contains an integrated WS2811 driver, allowing you to control the colour of every LED individually using just one microcontroller pin. Chain them together for stunning lighting effects.

Unlike standard LEDs, these addressable LEDs can each display any of 16.8 million colours independently. They're compatible with popular NeoPixel libraries and can be mixed with WS2812B LED strips in the same chain.

Key Features

  • Individually Addressable – Control each LED's colour separately
  • One-Wire Interface – Only needs a single data pin from your microcontroller
  • Chainable – Connect multiple LEDs in series
  • 24-Bit Colour – 16.8 million colours (8-bit per R/G/B channel)
  • 5mm Diffused Lens – Soft, even light output
  • Breadboard Friendly – Standard through-hole mounting

Ideal For

  • Custom LED displays and signs
  • Wearable electronics
  • Status indicators
  • Art installations
  • Learning addressable LED programming
