## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=ADA5162:1` (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/ADA5162:1.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)

## Description

Better grab some sunglasses, sunscreen, and a bucket hat because these NeoPixels feature a **4W RGBW Cool White LED** and are so bright it's like taking a vacation ON THE SUN.

Alright, maybe Adafruit are 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' NeoPixel.

Each order comes with one RGBW NeoPixel LED on an aluminum PCB/holder/heatsink. Please note that even though the PCB acts as a heatsink, 4W is a lot of power to dissipate as heat so you may need an additional heatsink or fan or other cooling mechanisms!

Each order comes with ONE fully assembled NeoPixel [with JST 3 SM connectors at both ends, Adafruit stock cables that you can use to connect!](https://core-electronics.com.au/3-pin-jst-sm-plug-receptacle-cable-set.html)

Don't forget to set your NeoPixel driver for **RGBW** mode, which is not the default usually. The 4th channel is connected to the 6000K white LED element.

[**Adafruit have a tutorial showing NeoPixel wiring, power usage calculations, example code for usage, etc. Please check it out!**](https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-neopixel-uberguide)

[We also have a guide on addressable LEDs as a whole you can check out here](https://core-electronics.com.au/guides/analogue-electronics/addressable-rgb-led-controllers/)

**Please note: these are high power LEDs, you need a strong 5V power supply that can provide at least 1/2 A *per LED***

[We also have a Warm White version of these chainable NeoPixels](https://core-electronics.com.au/ultra-bright-4-watt-chainable-rgbw-neopixel-led-warm-white-3000k.html).

### Technical Details
