Build a large 60-LED NeoPixel ring with these quarter-ring segments. Each segment contains 15 individually addressable WS2812 5050 RGB LEDs arranged in a quarter circle — buy four and solder them together to complete the full 6.2" (157 mm) diameter ring.
Each LED has an integrated WS2812 driver with ~18 mA constant-current drive, delivering consistent colour regardless of voltage variation. The single-wire data protocol lets you daisy-chain segments and control them all from a single microcontroller pin. Power with 5 V DC and you're ready to go.
Key Features
- 15 WS2812 RGB LEDs Per Segment – Individually addressable with integrated drivers
- Chainable Design – Connect output to input across segments using a single data line
- Constant-Current Drive – ~18 mA per LED for consistent colour output
- No External Resistors – Driver circuitry is built into each LED for a slim profile
- 5 V DC Operation – Standard logic-level power supply
Specifications
- LEDs Per Segment: 15× WS2812 5050 RGB
- Full Ring Diameter: 6.2" (157 mm) when 4 segments assembled
- Operating Voltage: 5 V DC
- Current Per LED: ~18 mA constant current
- Data Protocol: Single-wire, timing-specific (NeoPixel/WS2812)
Package Contents
- 1× NeoPixel Quarter Ring (15 RGB LEDs, assembled and tested)

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- AVR
- AVR is a family of 8-bit microcontrollers (made by Microchip, formerly Atmel) used in many classic Arduino-style boards such as the Uno and Nano. They are widely supported but older, which can be a limit for memory- or speed-intensive tasks.
- DC
- DC means direct current, where electricity flows in one constant direction, as supplied by batteries, USB ports and many plug-pack power supplies. When a product specifies DC, it runs from a DC supply rather than mains AC, so you need to provide the correct voltage and polarity.
- 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.
- NeoPixel
- A type of addressable LED system where colour data is sent along a single digital data line from one LED or controller to the next. Compatibility matters because the timing and signal format must match for the lights or driver board to respond correctly.
- 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.
