So much power and light from such a small package. This 3W per channel, Triple Output High Power RGB LED is sure to shed a lot of light on any project you add it to. This LED acts as any other LED except they require much more power while delivering a light as intense of a thousand suns going super nova (this is an exaggeration but you know what we mean)!

Please be aware that with all three LEDs (9W total output), you will need additional heat sinking.

This LED sits upon an aluminum backed PCB to help with heat dissipation but with a 9W total output, additional heat sinking will be required. Additionally, each LED requires an operating voltage of 2.2-2.6V for red, 3.2-3.8V for green, and 3.2-3.8V for blue.

Note: We like to joke around about super novas and all, but seriously, don't look directly into the LED.

Jargon buster

Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.

LED
A light-emitting diode is a small electronic component that lights up when current flows through it in the correct direction. In this kit, LEDs create the flashing effect, so polarity and correct soldering matter for the project to work.
PCB
A printed circuit board is a rigid board with copper tracks that connect electronic parts without loose wires. For this kit, the PCBs also form the airplane shape, so they are both the circuit base and part of the finished model.
RGB
Short for red, green and blue, usually referring to an LED that can mix those three colours. It matters because controlling an RGB LED teaches how separate outputs combine to create different colours.
