## Overview

The Adafruit 1626 LED Backlight Module offers a compact 12mm x 40mm acrylic-encased LED that delivers uniform white light with high diffusion efficiency. Designed for low power consumption at ~3V and 20mA, it’s ideal for backlighting small LCDs or wearable electronics. While rigid, its light can be customized with gels, making it a versatile, energy-smart lighting solution.

## Description

These pretty strips of light are plastic diffused backlights, often seen in LCD displays. Normally they're tucked behind the LCD and shine white light from below. Here, we've got the LEDs available individually and they're really cool! Each LED is encased in a 3.5mm thick strip of a acrylic. The acrylic strip is a special type that is very good at diffusing light, so even though there is only one single white LED, it provides near-uniform lighting. The other flat side of the strip has a reflector on it so you only get light from the top (otherwise the backlight would lose 1/2 the brightness unnecessarily). You can treat this backlight just like an LED, light with ~3V at 20mA current and you get a pretty shape that you can mask with vinyl or draw over with marker. Gels can be used to change the color. We think these would make great wearable electronics without the need for EL or inverters, they're much brighter than EL and use less battery. The trade-off is these are not flexible at all.

Review: Nice for backlighting small LCD panels - Nice compact LED to backlight an LCD panel. It’s basically an LED encased in plastic or acrylic panel to diffuse the light and secure it. Works very well to backlight my rc transmitter screen.
Review: Nice even light - This provides a nice even light over a small area. It is only a single LED so it is not blindingly bright, but works well for its purpose.
