Product Description
Round and round and round they go! 12 ultra bright smart LED NeoPixels are arranged in a circle with 1.5" (37mm) outer diameter. The rings are 'chainable' - connect the output pin of one to the input pin of another. Use only one microcontroller pin to control as many as you can chain together! Each LED is addressable as the driver chip is inside the LED. Each one has ~18mA constant current drive so the color will be very consistent even if the voltage varies, and no external choke resistors are required making the design slim. Power the whole thing with 5VDC and you're ready to rock. There is a single data line with a very timing-specific protocol. Since the protocol is very sensitive to timing, it requires a real-time microconroller such as an AVR, Arduino, PIC, mbed, etc. It cannot be used with a Linux-based microcomputer or interpreted microcontroller such as the netduino or Basic Stamp. Our wonderfully-written Neopixel library for Arduino supports these pixels! 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. Item Specifics Outer diameter: 36.8mm / 1.5" Inner diameter: 23.3mm / 1" Thickness: 6.7mm / 0.3" Weight: 3.3g An 8MHz or faster processor is required May ship with either WS2812B or SK6812-based LEDs. They are the same brightness, color and protocol

I used the NeoPixel Ring for a project that required smooth color transitions, and it performed brilliantly. The brightness level was way beyond my expectations, making the colors pop with an intensity I hadn't anticipated. Every hue was vivid, and the transitions were seamless, adding a professional polish to my work.
Integrating this LED ring into my Arduino project was straightforward, without any of the fuss you might expect from more complex components. The straightforwardness and reliability of the NeoPixel Ring are its strong suits, especially considering its affordability. It's a testament to Adafruit's commitment to quality and accessibility in their products.
For anyone looking to enhance their projects with bright, dynamic lighting, the Adafruit NeoPixel Ring is a standout choice. Its combination of ease of use, surprising brightness, and overall quality makes it a must-have for hobbyists and seasoned makers alike.
I just love this. Hands-down, great for the price.
