control of LED Array

Hi all,
I would like to drive a linear array of 32 or more LEDs with as few cables as possible. Each LED individually addressable. Arduino is in main enclosure and LEDs are at a 1-2 m. distance more or less. Any ideas? Any I2C solution for this? Or is a decoder circuit (5 control lines for 32 leds) the only option?
Thanks!

Thanks for the info, Richard! Seems to be just what I need :slight_smile:
