Product Description

Difference between the most common addressable pixel LED strips

SK6812: A 1-wire interface chipset, integrated directly into either an SMD5050 or 8-12mm through-hole LED. Typically the cheapest option, but slow data and PWM rate. There are many variants that all use the same protocol.

WS2812: like SK6812

APA107: Our current favorite and “New Kid on the Block”. The chipset is integrated into an SMD5050 LED like the WS2812 but uses a 2-wire interface instead and supports up to 30Mbps and a whopping 9kHz PWM rate. Newstar’s patent design.

HD107s: the upgrade of APA107, with a PWM refresh rate of +26 kHz.

SK6813/WS2813: The 6 pin variant of the SMD5050 package (which originally came with 6 pins as the SK6812).

WS2801: Mid-price, 2-wire interface with great 8-bit per channel color but only 1Mbps data rate and decent, 2.5kHz, PWM rate.

WS2811: Bare-IC variant typically used for Christmas style lights and 12V strips (3 RGB LEDs per IC), 5V version used in Diwali Strig lights  or cheap signage diaplays..

WS2811 400kHz: Original version of the chipset that runs at 400kHz, unlike all newer versions that run at 800kHz. You must use LED TYPE.WS2811_400 when using this variant. These are rare now.

LPD8806: Oldie but still a goody, this chipset is a 2 wire interface that can manage 20Mbps and high PWM rate. The downsides are that each IC controls 2 LEDs and it only has 7 bits per channel instead of 8 so it can only handle 1/8th as many colors.

What is addressable LED strip?

Universal Single row color super bright high density 5050 SMD(SMD: Surface Mounted Devices) Waterproof/Non-Waterproof  Flexible LED Tape strips, Epistar chip, 300LEDs/5 meter, Per Reel By Sale. - (Addressable LED Controller series).

Feature of WS2812B

1. Universal WS2812B  dynamic color chasing, sequencing, changing, and also static color modes available on the Full-Color Controller and dream color Strip. individually addressable LEDs allow for sequencing modes.  Non-waterproof flexible LED light strip with 300 LEDs high power 5050SMD(Surface Mounted Devices) RGB LEDs programmable for chasing patterns. WS2812B IC chip control. 5meter(16.45ft) Per Reel By Sale. 

2. This programmable led strip is an intelligent control LED light source that the control circuit and RGB chip are integrated into a package of 5050 components. It internal include intelligent digital port data latch and signal reshaping amplification drive circuit. Also include a precision internal oscillator and a DC5V voltage programmable constant current control part, effectively ensuring the pixel point light color height consistent. The data transfer protocol uses a single NZR communication mode. After the pixel power-on reset, the DIN port receive data from controller, the first pixel collects initial 24bit data then sent to the internal data latch, the other data which reshaping by the internal signal reshaping amplification circuit sent to the next cascade pixel through the DO port. After transmission for each pixel?the signal to reduce 24bit. pixel adopt auto reshaping transmit technology, making the pixel cascade number is not limited the signal transmission, only depend on the speed of signal transmission.

3. This strips soft and easy bent for installation. Available in 5 meters (197 in) Non-Waterproof flexible light strips with adhesive backing and can be stuck just about anywhere (except IP67/IP68 type which will come with mounting brackets). can be cut into 1-LED segments, so you could cut a different length for your project and request. The led strip has low light decline and long lifespan?LED with low driving voltage, environmental protection and energy saving, high brightness, scattering angle is large, good consistency, low power, long life, and other advantages. The control chip integrated into LED above becoming more simple circuit, small volume, convenient installation. 

4. The 5VDC operation, Low carbon, no radiation, no flicker, and no pollution to human and environment, Safe and stable. Used in advertising signs, LED digital screen display, backlighting decoration.
