10pcs SN74AHCT125N SN74 Quadruple Bus Buffer Gates with 3-State Outputs IC DIP-14.

I usually send a custom WLED controller that I make. Have made dozens of these controllers using these chips and have never had any issues. Highly recommend especially if you need these. Can't be the price either.

I was having some issues with another 3.3V to 5V level shifter for a long run of LEDs connected to an ESP 8266. I found that WLED recommended using the SN74AHTC125, and figured I would give the "N" configuration a try, and it worked and is still working three weeks later (without any glitches versus the previous shifter).

They didn't work for me as a level shifter from my esp32 to 5v ws2811 because of my lack of my knowledge. No fault of them. Giving 5 stars even though buying f-amps fixed my issues. Still going to play around with these in the future.

Picked these up for WLED projects using WS2812b LEDs and they work exactly like they should. They work so much better than the i2c level shifters that I've used in the past (which, by the way, if I had read all of the WLED Basics page, I would have gotten these first).If you are doing anything with WS281x lights, pick these up, you will need them.

I struggled for sometime with flashing pixels using WLED. These completely fixed the flashing by taking the 3.3v data input and changed to 5v data.

Using as a level shifter for WS2811 addressable LED's (300 if the quantity makes a difference, I don't know). Every effect I tried looks good. No issues.

I am able to do a 40 foot run of power ground and data over 18awg extension cord wire no problem with one of these.

I bought these for a level shift to control led pixels from a raspberry pi. The data stream was glitch. Works better without these chips.
