Blinkt!

Eight super-bright RGB LED indicators in the smallest form factor to plug straight onto your Raspberry Pi. Blinkt! is perfect for adding visual notifications, status indicators, or ambient lighting effects without breaking the bank.

Each APA102 pixel is individually controllable and dimmable, allowing you to create gradients, pulsing effects, or just flash them like crazy. The compact design fits inside most Pi cases and sits directly on top of your Pi.
