Powerful illumination

Light up your flights with vivid, customizable effects using the Crazyflie Color LED deck.

How it works

Add vibrant illumination and visual feedback to your flights with the Crazyflie® Color LED Deck. Equipped with one powerful WRGB LED, it allows you to create bright, full-color lighting effects or status indicators directly from your Crazyflie firmware. Available in top- and bottom-mounted versions, the Color LED Deck is visible from the sides and perfect for experimentation, signaling, or simply lighting up your drone in style.

Follow the Getting started with the Color LED deck user guide to set up and test your Color LED deck.
