{"title":"RGB Full Colour LED Backlight - 12mm x 40mm","handle":"rgb-full-color-backlight-display-12mm-x-40mm","url":"/products/rgb-full-color-backlight-display-12mm-x-40mm","description":"This diffused acrylic backlight strip gives you an easy way to add a smooth, colourful glow to projects. It is the kind of light guide normally found behind LCD panels, but this version uses a single RGB LED so you can drive red, green and blue channels independently.The LED is encased in a 3.3mm thick acrylic strip that spreads the light for near-uniform illumination. A reflector on the flat rear side directs the light out through the top, helping avoid wasted brightness.You can wire it much like a common-anode RGB LED: connect the longest pin to 3~5VDC, then connect the shorter red, green and blue pins through current-limiting resistors to ground. The lit surface can be masked with vinyl or drawn on with a marker for custom shapes and effects.It is a neat option for wearables and compact lighting effects where you want something brighter than EL without needing an inverter, though the strip itself is not flexible.Specifications:Acrylic strip thickness: 3.3mmAnode pin: Longest pinOperating voltage: 3~5VDCChannel current: Each should draw no more than 20mALit area: 0.4\" by 1.5\" (12mm x 38.7mm)","vendor":"Adafruit","product_type":"LED Backlight","in_stock":true,"options":[],"variants":[{"id":16371,"title":"Default Title","sku":"AF-6158","mpn":"ADA6158","price":4.65,"on_sale":false,"in_stock":true,"available_quantity":37}]}
