LED modules where creativity meets technology!
Unleash your creativity with our versatile LED modules, whether you're an avid DIY enthusiast, an IoT developer or just someone who wants to improve the aesthetics and functionality of their space, our collection of LED modules provides you with the tools you need.
LED modules can bring colour, atmosphere and interactivity to any space or project. Enter the fascinating world of LED technology and discover how you can use light in your everyday life in a whole new way. With LED modules, there are no limits to your creativity!
What are LED modules?
LED modules come in many different forms and can be used for a variety of projects. When used with a Raspberry Pi, this can be as simple as connecting a single LED light or as complex as implementing a full LED display or matrix.
An LED module is usually a small circuit board on which one or more light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are mounted. These modules may also contain additional components, such as resistors to limit the current flowing through the LEDs, or even integrated circuits (ICs) to enable more advanced functions.
What LED modules are there?
There are many different types of LED modules. Here are a few examples: Of course, here is a generalised paraphrase:
These LED modules can be connected to microcontrollers via various interfaces, including digital I/O pins, I2C, SPI or USB, depending on the specific requirements of your project. They offer a variety of options for lighting effects and visual feedback in a wide range of DIY and IoT applications.
What types of DIY and IOT projects can I do with LED modules?
LED modules are one of the most versatile and accessible components for hobbyists and developers working on DIY and IoT projects. With their ability to produce light in a variety of colours and intensities, they offer endless possibilities for creating interaction, feedback and visual interest in projects.
Whether you're just starting out working on electronic projects or you're already an experienced maker, using LED modules is a great way to take your projects to the next level. From simple indicators that show the status of a process, to atmospheric lighting that reacts to environmental data, to interactive art installations, the possibilities are almost endless.
The following examples showcase some of the many use cases for LED modules in DIY and IoT projects. These examples are meant to serve as inspiration and help you explore and understand the many possibilities that LED modules offer. Remember that the best thing about working with LED modules and electronics in general is that you can use your creativity and curiosity to create unique and personalised projects.
- Stand-alone LED modules: These usually consist of a single LED that can be connected to a digital I/O pin on a microcontroller. They often serve as a simple status indicator for DIY or IoT projects.
- LED strips: These contain multiple LEDs in a linear arrangement. They can be connected to microcontrollers and individually controlled to create different lighting effects that are useful in many ways, from ambient lighting to interactive artwork.
- LED matrices: These are similar to LED strips, but the LEDs are arranged in a grid, allowing images or text to be displayed. They are well suited for displays in DIY and IoT devices.
- RGB LED modules: These modules contain LEDs that can mix different amounts of red, green, and blue to create a wide range of colours. They are ideal for projects that require coloured output or visual feedback.
- WS2812 or NeoPixel: These are versatile LED modules available in different formats (e.g. strips, rings, matrices). Each LED on the module can be controlled individually to create different colours and brightnesses. They are a popular tool for makers and hobbyists who need visual effects in their projects.
These examples are just a small sample of the many ways you can use LED modules in your projects. With a little creativity and technical know-how, you can achieve incredible things with these versatile components.

Our expert advice
When working with hardware such as LED modules and microcontrollers or minicomputers like the Raspberry Pi, it is important that you always have a good understanding of the technical specifications and requirements of the module in question. Take the time to study them carefully to ensure that your hardware is not damaged. For example, some LED modules may require more power than your microcontroller or minicomputer can safely supply. In such cases, you may need an additional power source. So always be careful and make sure you configure your systems correctly and safely.
FAQs about the LED module
How do I connect an LED module to a microcontroller?
This depends on the specific LED module and microcontroller, but usually you connect the power lines (VCC and GND) and data lines (e.g. GPIO, I2C, SPI) according to the specifications of the module.
Can I use an LED module without an additional power source?
Some LED modules can be powered directly from the power supply pins of a microcontroller, but for power-hungry modules, especially larger LED displays or strips, an additional power source may be required. Always make sure you know the current requirements of the module and do not overload your microcontroller.
Can I change the colour of an LED in a module?
Yes, if you are using an RGB LED module. These modules contain LEDs that can mix red, green and blue at different intensities to produce a variety of colours.
What is a WS2812 or NeoPixel module?
A WS2812 or NeoPixel module is a special type of LED module where each LED is individually addressable. This means you can control the colour and brightness of each LED independently. These modules are available in different shapes, such as strips, rings and matrices.
