NeoPixel Addressable 1111 LEDs (1.1mm x 1.1mm) - 50 Strip

Create your own super - compact or high - density smart LED setup using the same integrated LEDs found in our NeoPixel strips and pixels. These 1111 (1.1mm x 1.1mm) RGB LEDs are incredibly tiny. They're designed for surface - mount soldering, offering the most space - efficient way to integrate multiple bright LEDs into your design. Just how small are they? The common 5050 LEDs are 20 times larger, and the 3535 'mini' NeoPixels are 10 times larger. The built - in driver chip provides about 5 mA constant current drive. This means the color remains consistent even with voltage variations, and you don't need external choke resistors, simplifying your design. Power them with around 5 VDC for full brightness, though they'll also work on 3.3V, just not as brightly. Due to their small size, these LEDs aren't suitable for hand - soldering. Their pads are underneath, making them really hard to handle manually. If you prefer hand - soldering, check out our 5050 sized NeoPixel bare LEDs or through - hole NeoPixel LEDs. This product comes in a reel of 50 individual LEDs.

Using these NeoPixel Addressable 1111 LEDs is easy. First, you'll need to set up a power source. We recommend using around 5 VDC for the best brightness, but 3.3V also works if you don't mind a bit less light. When it comes to installation, since these LEDs are designed for surface - mount soldering and are very small, it's best to use professional soldering equipment. Avoid trying to hand - solder them as their pads are underneath and they're extremely tiny. Once you've soldered them into your design, you can enjoy their consistent color thanks to the built - in driver chip. As for maintenance, keep them away from excessive heat and moisture. If you notice any issues with the color consistency, check the power supply first as voltage variations can sometimes affect performance slightly. And remember, if you ever want to do hand - soldering, we have other options like the 5050 sized NeoPixel bare LEDs or through - hole NeoPixel LEDs available.
