Beside adressable RGB- LEDs (NeoPixels) there are such type LEDs with one color only (e.g. SK6812 white).
Especially advantage is less power consumption versus RGB- LEDs.
How this type of Pixel- LEDs are correctly described/ addressed by adafruit library statement within the ARDUINO IDE?
Examples welcome.
Thanks in advance for helpful answers.

These simply replace the R, G and B diodes with 3 white diodes. You can control the 3 channels individually. They just show as different levels of white rather than a mix of R, G and B.
Given the same code, the power consumption will be the same.
