Solid performance
No flickering observed. One star off because the pins are a bit close together for thick jumper wires.

Bright and Reliable
These modules are incredibly bright and the colors are accurate. I used them with an ESP32 and the FastLED library worked immediately.

Perfect for prototypes
I love the square and round options. Makes fitting them into custom enclosures much easier than standard strips.

Good value for money
Works as expected. Just make sure you have a strong enough power supply if you chain many of them together.

Easy to start with
Great for beginners. Plenty of tutorials online for WS2812 chips. Shipping was fast too.
Q: Can I cut the round version?
A: No, these are individual modules. You cannot cut them like a strip, but you can chain them via data out to data in.
Q: What is the current draw per LED?
A: At full brightness white, each LED draws approximately 60mA. Plan your power supply accordingly.
Q: Can these be used outdoors?
A: These modules are not waterproof. You will need to add a waterproof enclosure for outdoor applications.
Q: Do I need a resistor on the data line?
A: It is recommended to use a 300-500 ohm resistor on the data input line to prevent signal spikes.
Q: Are these compatible with Raspberry Pi?
A: Yes, but since Pi GPIO is 3.3V, a logic level shifter to 5V is highly recommended for stable operation.
