Good but needs external power
Works well but USB power isn't enough for full brightness. Use a 5V supply.

Perfect for my clock project
The colors are vibrant and the library support is excellent. Easy to solder headers on.

Bulk order success
Bought 10 for our workshop. All of them worked perfectly out of the box.
Q: Which Arduino library works best?
A: Both Adafruit NeoPixel and FastLED libraries are fully compatible.
Q: Is a logic level shifter needed?
A: For 5V microcontrollers it is not needed. For 3.3V, a shifter is recommended.
Q: What is the current draw per LED?
A: Each LED can draw up to 60mA at full white brightness.
Q: Does it come with headers?
A: No, headers are not included to save shipping space. You will need to solder them.
Q: Can I daisy chain these modules?
A: Yes, you can connect the DOUT pin to the DIN pin of the next module.
