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 ## Pricing - **Price:** $6.95 (inc GST) — $6.32 AUD, exc GST - **Quantity discounts:** 10+ $6.13 (exc GST) · 50+ $6.00 (exc GST) ## Availability & dispatch - Out of stock — the product page offers email notification when it returns. ## How to buy - **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=ADA4691:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart. - **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/ADA4691:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.) - **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there. - **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works) - **Payment methods, purchase orders, policies and contact details:** https://core-electronics.com.au/llms.txt ## Description Make your own smart LED arrangement with the same *fancy side light* integrated LED that is used in Adafruit's [HalloWing M4](https://core-electronics.com.au/adafruit-hallowing-m4-express.html), and [side-emitting NeoPixel strip and pixels](https://core-electronics.com.au/search?q=neopixel%20side). 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 fairly easy to solder and is the most compact way possible to integrate multiple bright LEDs to a design. The driver chip is inside the LED and has ~18mA constant current drive so the color will be very consistent even if the voltage varies, and no external resistors are required making your design minimal. Power the whole thing with 5VDC and you're ready to rock. This is a 4 pin LED chip version that is code-compatible and the same functionality as any other NeoPixels. The LEDs are 'chainable' by connecting the output of one chip into the input of another - see the datasheet for diagrams and pinouts. **Adafruit's wonderfully-written [NeoPixel library for Arduino supports these pixels!](https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_NeoPixel)** As it requires hand-tuned assembly it is only for AVR cores but others may have ported this chip driver code so please google around. An 8MHz or faster processor is required. There are three LEDs inside, red green and blue. The RGB LEDs are controlled by a tiny chip that takes a 24-bit color level via the clock and data in and then does all the PWM control for you. So you just 'set' the color data once. Like any NeoPixels you can chain them together, the output of one leading into the input of another for near-infinitely long strips. Comes in a strip of 10 pieces. If you order more than one strip, it will come as multiple strips of 10, not one long strip. Please note this is a surface mount part! It is possible to solder thin wires to the pads but it's designed for use on a SMD PCB. Adafruit's detailed NeoPixel Uberguide has everything you need to use NeoPixels in any shape and size. Including ready-to-go library & example code for the Arduino UNO/Duemilanove/Diecimila, Flora/Micro/Leonardo, Trinket/Gemma, Arduino Due & Arduino Mega/ADK (all versions) ## Technical Details - [Datasheet](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/4691_SK68XX_SIDE_REV_55747b5a68c.pdf) ![RoHS 2 2011 65 EU Compliant](https://www.adafruit.comhttps://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/RoHS2_2011_65_EU_7356c5574c.svg) ![RoHS 2 2015 863 EU Compliant](https://www.adafruit.comhttps://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/RoHS2_2015_863_EU_86773f57f9.svg) ## Images - [Product image 1](https://core-electronics.com.au/media/catalog/product/4/6/4691-00.jpg)
