RGB LED Chain - 20 LED Addressable
This addressable RGB LED chain features 20 individually sealed 10 mm RGB LEDs driven by WS2801 constant-current LED drivers. Each LED can be set to any colour independently, and the 2-wire control scheme (clock + data) means you only need two GPIO pins to control the entire chain. Multiple chains can be connected end-to-end for longer runs.
The chain is approximately 2.1 m (7 ft) long with about 100 mm (4″) between LED centres. Each end is terminated with a locking 3-pin connector (one male, one female) for ground, data, and clock, plus bare wire leads for ground and power. The LEDs mount into 11 mm (7/16″) holes and are IP66 rated for indoor or outdoor use.
