Product Description

12mm led pixel digital light RGB chain

The RGB pixel is connected by 4-conductor cable.Data is shifted down from one pixel to the next so that you can easily cut the strand or attach more onto the end.The four connections wires carry the following signals:5v(red),Clk(green),Dat(blue),Gnd(gray).

Pixels are digitally controlled,with an internal 8-bit PWM LED drive(24-bit color for 16 million different shades).Pixels must be clocked by a mocrocontroller,or other control devices.There are so many examples around the web available showing simple connections and code for the Arduino as well as other microcontrollers.

Each pixel contains an 8mm diffused ( frosted ) RGB LED,with a 120 degreen beam width.Brightness of the display for each color is approximately Red=3.3Lumens/300mcd,Green=10Lumens/1000mcd,Blue=2.7Lumens/300mcd(mcd calculation based on full 120 degreen beam) for a total of approximately 1600 mcd and due to the diffused frosting design of the LED light is evenly distributed .

The pixels are normally sold in strands of max 50 pixels with JST SM 4-pin connector on each end allowing you to chain modules together.

Technical Details :
Modules measure 26mm wide,18mm deep,and 23mm tall and are designed to fit into a 12mm mounting hole

Spacing between modules is 10mm (center of one pixel to the center of the next )

25 pixel modules per strand , max 50 pixel /strand

Pixels utilize ws2801 chip for full 24 bit color

5v power,60MA maximum per pixel(LED on full white) 2-pin SPI-like protocol

Notes:
Modules are designed to run on 5v dc, Exceeding the power specification most certainly will damage pixel modules .

Embossed on the side of the module is an arrow which indicates the direction of flow for the display.Your signal must be placed on the to the module .
