Color temperature of neopixel ring and strip

Post by donnelbg »

Hi, I am making a project that combines the RGBW neopixel strip and the RGBW neopixel ring (4x quarter rings) adacent to each other.

As far as I can see, the strip is available in only one color temeprature stated at 4000K (Neutral)

https://www.adafruit.com/products/2848

The rings are available in different color temperatures, the closest stated as 4500K (Natural)

https://www.adafruit.com/products/2874

My question is: are these actually different in reality? I would like the strip and ring to have the exact same colour temeprature.

I don't know for sure. NeoPixels come in 6000K, 4500K, and 3000K. I don't see why the ones on the strip would be different.
i'll see if someone else knows.

they're the same LEDs, the color temp is very very approximate

Thanks,

I have ordered the strips and rings to match.

Might be worth updating the terminology on each page to match: Natural/Neutral 4000/4500 K

Thanks
