This high-power RGB LED from Adafruit delivers serious brightness, with each red, green, and blue die capable of handling 350–750mA continuous current (2A peak). At 3W it produces approximately 150 lumens, scaling up to around 300 lumens at the full 9W.

The LED comes pre-mounted on an aluminium PCB that serves as both a mounting base and partial heatsink. This is a common-anode configuration, so all three colour channels share a single positive connection.

Key Features
