Assemble your own LED ornament that runs off of USB power from individual LEDs. Each ornament has 40 or more individual LEDs. Soldering is required for these kits.
The kits can be powered directly from a standard USB wall charger using the included USB cable, or you can optionally choose the 12V version to power the ornament from a 12V power source.
If you want to control the brightness of the ornament, you can use one of the channels of the WS2111 Expander to do that.
