⚙️ Product Description

An RGB LED is a special type of LED that combines Red, Green, and Blue light inside a single component. By adjusting the brightness of each color channel, the LED can produce a wide range of colors including purple, cyan, yellow, orange, pink, and white.

RGB LEDs are widely used in Arduino projects, decorative lighting, indicator systems, LED animations, smart home devices, and electronic projects that require colorful visual effects.

This LED is typically available in a 5mm through-hole package with 4 pins: one common pin and separate pins for the red, green, and blue LEDs.
