241 LEDs 9 Rings WS2812B 5050 RGB LED Ring Lamp Light Individually Addressable Full Dream Color DC5V with Mini Controller

Needed LED that were on actual printed circuit board so they can better handle the heat so I'm using the outer 2 rings in this mod. The rings are easy to separate along the perforation holes that are provided between the rings. Just a took literally a couple of seconds with a Dremel's cutting disk. These worked out perfect with the help of some aluminized heat shield designed for electrical wires in engines and a bit of tin foil in the middle part at least. Also wrapped the wires in that stuff. I don't know how hot that 150W ceramic heating bulb can get. I melted my desktop thermometer testing it SMH..... lol Whoops. But suffice to say it's really hot, and would probably give an instablister if I directly touched it. Yet these LED have lasted for 2 years now without a single one burning out even in all that heat. That being said though they have started to degrade and don't show colors as accurately as they first did, but that's to be expected. LED and heat don't really go together well. But with how inexpensive these rings are it's no biggie to just replace them after a few years. Was hoping to be able to sync it up with the lighting modes my PC is running but with the lights so close together and the wax not being a very good medium, small changes in color just doesn't show up well on the wax. So instead of running them like most ARGB products are I'm just running them like RGB with all LED changing color at the same time. But oh well you can't have everything in life. I'm still really happy with how the mod came out and being normal 5v ARGB it let me run it off the same controller and software the rest of my lighting is run off of.

I bought this product slightly over a year ago and made a kaleidoscope just for my entertainment. It has been running continuously (24/7) for the entire year and it is still bright; vivid colors and no missing pixels and just keeps on working. The soft focus on the video is due to a white plastic sheet in front of the LEDs.

Great circular light but I need it to be 12" so I can light up my colored vinyl for photos. I popped out the center hole and placed it on my turntable so that was cool but the lighting is uneven since it's smaller than 12".. that's a me issue, not a product issue so I'm keeping 5 stars.

Fired it up, all LEDs lit. It's a standard 3-wire addressable ws2812. Have not tried programming my own pattern(s) yet. (Arduino code on Teensy with Octo board.) It is pretty bright with all those LEDS (241) concentrated into a six-inch circle. Not melt-my-mind amazing, but it is kinda' cool if you like LEDs. Each circle has it's own plugs, unit could be separated into individual LED rings if you so wanted. Functions as expected, no negatives to note. Comes with a little program module that takes 5v/ground (2 wires only) and outputs a data signal with 2 or 3 patterns, can toggle some colors on those. Has standard ws2812 3-wire plug for output. (5v/ground/data.) Patterns looks like the video. ----------------------- 02/13/25 - It's been a while. My head is working on programming... coming soon. The center and each ring has an in and out plug. They come plugged together into a 241-LED 'string'. Pondering code to rotate a shape (Perhaps a heart or a smile or clock-hands?) or maybe blink an 'eye' Assembly details LEDs Addresses, as one string Center 1 1 Ring 1 8 2-9 Ring 2 12 10-21 Ring 3 16 22-37 Ring 4 24 38-61 Ring 5 32 62-93 Ring 6 40 94-133 Ring 7 48 134-181 Ring 8 60 182-241 Will add more notes as I get there.

I was very excited about finally working with the WS2812B rings. I had hoped to put this into a computer case project I'm commissioned to build. However, after the first set I received my hopes dwindled. The first ring set was only partially bad. 99.59% bad. Nothing lit up at first. I suspected the controller so I tested that on two other RGBLED strips and it worked fine. I started to connect the controller to each ring individually and only got the center LED to work. Another ring partially lit wrong and then sparked. That set went back. The second ring set was just DOA. Now, this set is going back. This would have been a perfect 5 stars if it worked. It would have been an excellent value and I would have recommended this to anyone wanting to play with RGBLEDs like Neopixels. With this failure rate, make sure you can return it if you decide to try it.

Perfect for what I needed. Set up each ring as a segment in wled and it'll do pinwheel effects etc.

LED ring works fine and is controlled through standard means, but the controller is pretty much junk that refuses to work beyond setting some basic colors. I don't care about it, so I did not knock a star off. Rings are connected on 4 sides to each other; connections can be broken off using cutters or even anti-static pliers.

The product seemed very promising (although some leds were not lighting up) as I went through the modes on the provided controller but the controller will cease to function as soon as you reach the one that lights it up Orange and White. Making the unit useless. I bought 2 with my purchase and the controller couldn't change the LEDs, it's like they became programmed. Speaking of the second one. It came with many leds out and one of the sectors wiring was not soldered properly, or maybe came loose during shipping? Who knows...

low quality. break very easy
