LEDs / Bare LEDs / NeoPixel and DotStar

These incredibly small surface-mount LEDs are an easy way to add a lot of very tiny (but bright!) colorful dots to your project. They are just mind-bogglingly small - 2mm square. As they are pretty darn tiny, they might be a bit difficult to hand solder. SMT techniques with solder paste and hot air will work best here. These Nano (2mm x 2mm) RGB LEDs are one third...

Make your own smart LED arrangement with the same fancy side light integrated LED that is used in our HalloWing M4, and side-emitting NeoPixel strip and pixels. These bare LEDs are a great alternative for folks who have loved and used Adafruit NeoPixel strips for a few years but want gorgeous, glowy light emitting at 90 degrees. This small 4020 (4mm x 2mm) RGB LED is...

Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Mini NeoPixel RGB LEDinis! Make your own smart LED arrangement with the same integrated LED that is used in our NeoPixel strip and pixels. These MINI (3.5mm x 3.5mm) RGB LEDs are fairly easy to solder and are half the size of the standard 5x5mm NeoPixels you may be used to seeing. You can see our comparison photo above. They're the most...

These reverse mount NeoPixel LEDs are an easy way to add a lot of small (but bright!) colorful LEDs to your project when you want the top of the PCB to be flat, or to keep manufacturing simplified by having only one side of components. They are just 3.1mm x 2.7mm x 1.7mm and can be soldered reverse mount-style using the top pads and a cutout in the PCB. Thanks to the...

Better grab some sunglasses, sunscreen, and a bucket hat because these NeoPixels feature a 4W RGBW Natural White LED and are so bright it's like taking a vacation ON THE SUN. Alright, maybe we're exaggerating, but these chainable NeoPixel LEDs are not only super-smart, they are also ridonkulously bright with 4W total, 1W per channel, compared to 0.2W of a 'standard'...

These incredibly small surface-mount LEDs are an easy way to add a lot of very tiny (but bright!) colorful dots to your project. They're mini versions of the ones in our digital DotStar strips and matrices with full chainable 2-wire control. They are just mind-bogglingly small. They are a mere 2mm x 2mm (way smaller than APA102-5050-RGB), which makes them pretty darn...

These incredibly small and slim surface-mount NeoPixel LEDs are an easy way to add a lot of very tiny (but bright!) colorful baguette diamond LEDs to your project. They are just 3.2mm x 1.0mm x 1.48mm and can be soldered in a few different ways: flat against a PCB, reverse mount using the top pads and a cutout in the PCB, and right angle. As they are pretty darn...

What is better than smart RGB LEDs? Smart RGB+White LEDs! These NeoPixels now have 4 LEDs in them (red, green, blue and white) for excellent lighting effects. Make your own smart RGBW LED arrangement with the same integrated LED driver that is used in our NeoPixel LED strips. This is the RGB + Natural White with a White Casing version! Comes in a package with 10...
