5mm Addressable RGB LED – WS2811 (2 pcs)

The 5mm Addressable RGB LED with integrated WS2811 driver is a discrete lighting component designed for programmable illumination and embedded systems. It uses a single-wire digital interface, allowing multiple LEDs to be chained and controlled individually from a single microcontroller pin. Each LED supports 24-bit color control with precise PWM dimming per channel. Operating at 5V DC, it delivers consistent performance and reliable signal transmission across cascaded setups. Suitable for custom lighting layouts, interactive displays, and embedded prototyping applications.
