00:00Okay, so if you've ever wanted to add some custom lighting to your setup without spending a fortune,
00:04you're in the right place. I went down the rabbit hole of USB LED light plates and found the top
00:105 that are actually worth your money. These are all WS2812B addressable rings, which basically
00:16means you can control every single LED individually and make them do pretty much anything you want.
00:22First up, we've got the DC5V WS2812 smart LED ring, and this thing is an absolute steal.
00:30It comes in sizes from 8 all the way up to 40 LEDs, and it's got that built-in WS2812B
00:35IC on a sleek
00:36black PCB. The best part? It's only $1.51, and it's sold nearly 5,000 times with a perfect 5
00:44-star
00:44rating. If you're just getting started with custom lighting and want something cheap and reliable,
00:50this is the one. Next, there's the WS2812B individually addressable pixel ring kit,
00:56and this one's a little different because it actually comes with a 21-key mini USB controller.
01:02So you don't need to mess around with coding or extra hardware right out of the box.
01:06It's $2.90, available in black or white PCB, and with a 4.9 rating from almost 5,000 buyers,
01:13it's clearly doing something right. If you want plug-and-play convenience, grab this one.
01:19Then we have the addressable WS2812B pixel ring, and this thing is for the people who want options.
01:26I'm talking 8, 12, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 60, even up to 241 LEDs.
01:34It supports both WS2812 and SK6812 chips, runs on DC5V, and it's only $1.99 with a perfect 5-star
01:43rating. The flexibility here is insane for the price, and if you're building something custom,
01:48this ring gives you the most size choices by far. Moving on, the WS2812B LED ring with 8,
01:5516, 24, 35, or 45 LEDs is another solid pick, and it's priced at $2.43. It's got that built
02:04-in IC
02:04for full addressable control, and it's rated 4.9 stars from nearly 4,500 sales.
02:10What makes this one stand out is the build quality, it feels a little more polished than some of the
02:15cheaper options, and for just a couple bucks, it's a great middle-ground choice if you want
02:19something dependable without overthinking it. And finally, the WS2812B RGB LED ring kit is the
02:26premium option on this list at $3.13. But here's why it's worth it, it comes with either a 28
02:32-key
02:32Bluetooth music controller or a built-in version, so you can sync your lights to music straight from
02:37your phone. It's got a 4.5 rating in over 4,000 sales, and if you want that party mode
02:43vibe without
02:43any extra wiring, this kit is the easiest way to get there. So there you go, those are the top
02:495
02:50USB LED light plates for custom lighting, and honestly, at these prices, you can grab a couple
02:55and experiment. All the links are in the description below, so go check them out. If this helped you,
