The NeoPixel is 'split', one half is the RGB you know and love, the other half is a white LED with

a yellow phosphor. Unlit, it resembles a yellow starburst. Lit up these are insanely bright (like ow

my eye hurts) and can be controlled with 8-bit PWM per channel (8 x 4 channels = 32-bit color

overall). Great for adding lots of colorful + warm white dots to your project!

These tiny 5050 (5mm x 5mm) SMD LEDs are fairly easy to solder and they're the most

compact way possible to integrate multiple bright LEDs to a design. If you want to prototype

with these, we recommend our 5050-size LED breakout PCBs, solder them on for a

the brightness of each R/G/B/W. Each LED acts like a shift register, reading incoming data on the

input pins, and then shifting the previous data out on the output pin. By sending a long string of

data, you can control an infinite number of LEDs, just tack on more or disconnect unwanted

LEDs at the end. The PWM is built into each LED-chip so once you set the brightness you can

stop talking to the strip and it will continue to PWM all the LEDs for you.

We have a tutorial showing wiring, power usage calculations, example code for usage, etc.
