Manufacturer description

The BTF-LIGHTING WS2812B pack gives you 100 individually addressable RGB LED pixels for custom lighting builds. Each pixel has a WS2812B IC built into a 5050 SMD LED, so you can set its color and brightness on its own. You get 24-bit color and 256 brightness levels per pixel, enough for chasing effects, raindrop and flowing-water animations, scrolling signs and static color scenes. Each pixel sits on its own small PCB. You can solder them into a matrix, a ring, a sign or any other layout, and the adhesive backing lets you mount them on walls, panels or enclosures.

SpecPicks Verdict

SpecPicks scored BTF-LIGHTING WS2812B Individually Addressable 100PCS IC RGB LED… using a rating × review-volume × price-fit model applied to published specs and reviews across the rgb & lighting category. BTF-LIGHTING's rgb & lighting lineup sits within the broader category mid-tier; price and specs are the deciding factors over brand loyalty here.

Frequently Asked Questions

What voltage do the BTF-LIGHTING WS2812B pixels need?

They only support a DC5V supply. BTF-LIGHTING warns never to connect a DC12V or DC24V supply because it will damage the LEDs.

Will these pixels work with WLED on an ESP32 or ESP8266?

Yes. The listing says they work with WLED and with ESP32, ESP8266, UNO R3, Raspberry Pi and K-1000C controllers. You can also use smart controllers such as the SP630E, SP611E, SP608E, SP602E, SP530E, SP511E and DR03W.

Do I need to solder these LEDs?

Each pixel is mounted on a small PCB so you can solder it into whatever layout you want. To build a custom matrix or shape, plan to solder the data, power and ground connections between pixels.

Is a power supply or controller included?

No. You need to buy the 5V power adapter and the controller separately. Check the product listing to see exactly what comes in the box.

Can I control each LED's color separately?

Yes. Each pixel has a WS2812B IC built into its 5050 SMD LED, so every pixel can show its own 24-bit color at any of 256 brightness levels. You can make custom animations in software such as LedEdit.
