Individual WS2812B-compatible 5050 RGB LEDs with an integrated driver chip — the same LED used in NeoPixel strips and pixels. Each 5 × 5 mm package contains an RGB LED and controller with ~18 mA constant-current drive, delivering consistent colour regardless of voltage variation. No external resistors are needed.

The LEDs are chainable: connect the data output of one chip to the data input of the next. They operate at the 800 kHz high-speed protocol and require a real-time microcontroller (AVR, Arduino, PIC, or similar) running at 8 MHz or faster. They are not compatible with Linux-based microcomputers or interpreted controllers such as the Basic Stamp.
