5V WS2812B LED Strip Addressable RGB – individually controllable

• Individually addressable LEDs:
Each LED has its own integrated controller (WS2812B), enabling precise color gradients, animations, and effects—without additional ICs on the PCB.
• RGB color control:
Creates smooth color transitions and creative lighting scenes with millions of possible color combinations.
• Compact 5V system:
Ideal for smaller projects, microcontrollers (e.g., Arduino, ESP32), and low-voltage mobile applications.
• Customizable protection rating:
Available in IP30 (indoor), IP65 (with silicone potting), and IP67 (silicone tubing)—for dry, damp, or outdoor applications.
• Various densities and sizes:
Available with 30, 60, 100, or 144 LEDs/m—depending on the desired level of detail and application.

• Custom lighting effects for DIY projects with microcontrollers
• Dynamic RGB lighting for furniture, shelves, or display cases
• Animated light installations for events, stage design, or gaming setups
• Creative LED projects in the smart home area
• Light signs, signal effects, or visual feedback systems

• 1 × LED strip
• 1 × connector (JST plug)

• Observe the data flow direction:
The data direction is indicated by an arrow on the strip. The controller must always be connected to the data input (DIN). Connecting it in the wrong direction will prevent it from working.
• Reverse polarity protection:
Make sure to observe the correct polarity – +V, GND, and DATA (or CLK in 2-wire systems).
Incorrect polarity can irreparably damage the LED strip or controller.
If available, pay attention to the markings on the strip or at the connection.
• Voltage supply according to the LED type:
- 5V strips (e.g., WS2812B, SK6812) require exactly 5V
- 12V strips (e.g., WS2815) are more tolerant regarding length, but have higher current consumption
- 24V strips (e.g., TM1814, COB models) for longer distances with less voltage drop
Important: Always use a suitable power supply (voltage + sufficient power in watts/amperes).
• Size the power supply:
Calculate power consumption depending on the number of LEDs, voltage, and brightness.
Always plan for approx. 10% power reserve for the power supply.
• Observe the maximum length per power feed:
Control and voltage quality decrease as the length increases.
Guidelines for single-sided power feed:
5V: max. 3-4m
12V: max. 5-8m
24V: up to 10m
For longer distances:
→ plan for double-sided power feed or additional power feed points
• Signal amplification for long distances:
From approx. 5m or with several LED strips in series, a signal repeater or data booster may be necessary to ensure clean data transmission.
• Keep signal and power lines short:
Use cables that are as short as possible and sufficiently sized to avoid voltage drops and data interference.
• Do not forget the GND connection:
Even with separate power supplies or long data lines, the ground connection (GND) must always be continuously connected – otherwise, data errors will occur.
• Control via compatible controllers:
Operate only with SPI- or PWM-capable controllers (e.g., WLED, Pixel Controller, DMX-SPI Decoder, Arduino, ESP32, etc.) – depending on the LED IC used.
• Test before final installation:
First check the strip at full length (voltage, data, colors, IC function) – only then attach it. For protection ratings IP65/IP67, check for tightness beforehand.
• Consider heat generation:
COB strips and high-power models can get warm. Mounting on heat-conductive surfaces (e.g., aluminum profile) is recommended.
