Manufacturer description

The BTF-LIGHTING WS2812B 16x16 LED matrix 2 pack gives you two flexible panels, each with 256 individually addressable 5050 SMD pixels in a 16 x 16 grid. Each panel measures 16cm x 16cm (6.3in x 6.3in), so you can build scrolling text signs, pixel art displays, music visualizers or wall-mounted animations without soldering hundreds of separate LEDs. Because every WS2812B pixel is addressed on its own, you control color and brightness pixel by pixel. The matrix works with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, the FastLED library, Rainbowduino and dedicated controllers including WLED, SP802E, SP530E and…

Frequently Asked Questions

How big is each BTF-LIGHTING 16x16 LED matrix panel?

Each panel measures 16cm x 16cm (6.3in x 6.3in) and holds 256 pixels, 16 across and 16 down. The pack includes two panels.

Does this LED matrix work with WLED?

Yes. The listing names WLED as a compatible controller, along with SP802E, SP530E, K-1000C, Arduino, Raspberry Pi, Rainbowduino and the FastLED library.

Can I connect the two panels into one larger display?

Yes. The panels chain together through 3-pin JST connectors, so you can expand them into a larger modular display. Your controller software needs to be set up for the combined layout.

What voltage does the WS2812B matrix need?

The panels run on DC 5V. Check the product listing to see whether a power supply or controller comes in the box, and size your supply for the number of panels you chain.

Can the panel bend to fit a curved surface?

Yes. The panel is built on a flexible FPCB substrate that follows curved surfaces while keeping the pixels working, which suits rounded signs and architectural lighting.
