Unit NeoHEX

SKU:A045-B

Description

Unit NeoHEX is a hexagonal RGB LED light panel embedded with 37 RGB LED full-color beads. It uses a single-bus control and supports cascading multiple light panels. It provides two sets of input interfaces with different socket angles, which can be used for independent power supply + signal control, ensuring sufficient power supply when cascading multiple light panels. The external structure comes with mounting ears for easy embedding and fixing. It comes with a milky white diffuser, making the lighting effect softer, suitable for various lighting DIY exhibits.
