This 24-LED NeoPixel Ring features RGBW LEDs (red, green, blue, and cool white ~6000K) in a compact circular form factor with a 65.5 mm outer diameter. Each LED contains an integrated WS2812-style driver, so you only need a single data pin from your microcontroller to control all 24 individually addressable LEDs with 32-bit colour (8-bit PWM per channel × 4 channels).
The rings are chainable — connect the data output of one ring to the input of another to build larger displays. Each LED draws ~18 mA constant current for consistent colour regardless of voltage variation, and no external resistors are needed. Power the ring with 5V DC and you're ready to go.
Key Features
- 24× RGBW LEDs – 5050-size with integrated drivers and cool white (~6000K) channel
- Individually Addressable – Control each LED's colour and brightness independently
- 32-Bit Colour – 8-bit PWM per R, G, B, and W channel
- Single-Pin Control – Only one digital output pin required (800 kHz protocol)
- Chainable – Connect multiple rings in series from a single data pin
- Constant Current Drive – ~18 mA per LED for consistent colour output
- 65.5 mm Outer Diameter – Compact circular ring layout
- ~400 Hz PWM Rate – Smooth for stationary applications
Ideal For
- Task and workbench lighting with cool white tones
- Wearable electronics and costume lighting
- Status indicators and circular displays
- Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and microcontroller projects
Package Contents
- 1× NeoPixel Ring with 24 RGBW LEDs (cool white ~6000K), assembled and tested

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- 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.
- PWM
- Pulse Width Modulation is a way for a digital pin to simulate variable output power by switching on and off very quickly. It matters for controlling things like LED brightness, motor speed, or servo-style signals from a microcontroller pin.
- 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.
