LED's for PiZero?

[FatalXception]

I'm planning a project that will require up to 8 LED's. All the LED's will have the same color and brightness, but I want the ability to change either. I initially thought Neopixels would be a good product to use, but the project is for a PiZero, and there seem to be a lot red and yellow flags when I read about Neopixels and Raspberries. The LED's will not be evenly spaced, so I cannot just use an 8-LED strip- I would need to group in pairs. I'd appreciate any advice on this. There are simpler ways of solving the need this project fixes (car dashboard illumination), but I chose it because I wanted a Pi Zero project. Please advise with component suggestions- I appreciate it!

Get two of the Adafruit "servo driver" boards.

They use an LED driver chip.

Two boards = 32 outputs

That will drive 10x RGB LED's, and have two outputs left over for single color LED's.

Thanks for the advice! So if I did go with Neopixels, this would drive them, right? I really like how the Adafruit page includes relevant links for those of us who are 'less-experienced'. If I read this right, the one 16-channel board will allow control of 16 PWM LED's, right?

Thanks again!

You are welcome.

No, it would not drive NeoPixels.

It would drive the much cheaper four pin RGB LED's (common, r,g,b)
