Works Great, cheaper than Adafruit
Best perk is it is not a ripoff like the Adafruit LED ring, which costs twice as much for a puny 24 LED ring. It's WS2812, so it works no problems with Neopixel or FastLED libraries for Arduino. I wanted to use these for a compact project, so I programmed an ATtiny85 to run them (works great). You could get away with even less SRAM than the ATtiny85 has since there are so few LEDs. It is very bright, especially since the ring makes all 24 LED point in the same direction, so don't look into the ring at full brightness. I'm not sure what the current consumption is, but at 60 mA per LED at full brightness (all colors on), you will never exceed 1.5A, and continuous draw should be less than half that (750 mA).One of the green diodes in one of the chips was DoA, so I requested a return through Amazon and I promptly received a replacement at no additional cost.

Very easy to use and great for arduino projects!
I bought this to use on an arduino volume know project that I'm working on. I'm driving the LED ring from a Seeeduino Xiao's internal 5v and GND connections plus a single digital output for data. I LOVE that the whole ring only takes up one output. The response time is good and the RGB LEDs give infinite possibilities. I wouldn't hesitate to buy this again!

Works great and with neopixel library on arduino!
Works on adafruit neopixel library no problem. Remember first led is 0 in code! The board and solder job on leds are good. Just enough room to get a fine point solder tip to solder your own wires too, be careful you don't bridge to the leg of one of the led!I am actually running it at 3.3V and it is working fine, super bright LEDs (I had to darken image to show it working and took one with flash)My first time using neopixel and got it running in less that 10 minutes, once I finally got time to work on it! I will definitely be buying more, I got a VU meter idea for a subwoofer box mounting these around the ports!

Great Value
Awesome quality LED ring with superb RGB light production. As other reviews stated mine came with some very small residual pcb nubs on the ID of the ring, this is not an issue at all and would have never been noticed without the other reviewers comments. Overall this is 100% high quality and I will use them again. Great Value

Works well
No bad pixels, everything works well for a good price

Not for Raspberry Pi at all
Not a single clue to using it on a Raspberry Pi. Take "Raspberry Pi" out of the description, because that's the ONLY place on the whole project that you'll find this term being used.While learning how to emulate Arduino on a Pi, I'm now being instructed to enable root logins to my SSH server?? And I will require a Windows machine??!Disappointing! So, after enabling remote ROOT access to my Pi, and then funneling all my data into a Microsoft datamine, I'll be able to blink a ring of lights using a directory full of undocumented C++ code?From documentation: "Do not power more than a few NeoPixels from the Raspberry Pi's 5V output! The Pi cannot source enoughcurrent to light many pixels and will be damaged. Use a good quality external 5V power supply that canhandle the current demands of all the pixels. "Kind of an omission!!

Look no further
I'll absolutely buy more of these for my next project. Beautiful colors, all LEDs are consistently colored and it was easy to Solder up. Would definitely recommend.

They work well and are bright
I am using these on my predator for light to see what is being printed.
