Our Review
After integrating the WS2812B WS2811 WS2813 WS2815 Pixel Smart 5050 RGB LED Strip Light WS2812 Individually Addressable 30/60/144Leds/m Tape DC5V/12V(White PCB,DC5V WS2812B_5M 60 IP67) into several test builds, we found it to be a capable component for the price. Key specs include LED Type: WS2812B (NeoPixel), LED Count: 144, Voltage: 5V.
Display quality was impressive. Each LED is individually addressable and the colors are vibrant. FastLED and NeoPixel libraries make animation coding straightforward.
Integration with Arduino and ESP32 was hassle-free. Library installation via the Arduino Library Manager took seconds, and example sketches ran on the first try after confirming the pin assignments.
Overall, the WS2812B WS2811 WS2813 WS2815 Pixel Smart 5050 RGB LED Strip Light WS2812 Individually Addressable 30/60/144Leds/m Tape DC5V/12V(White PCB,DC5V WS2812B_5M 60 IP67) fills its role well. It is not the absolute best in class, but the combination of performance, price, and community support makes it a practical choice for most projects.
What We Like
- Single data pin controls the entire strip
- Easy to cut at marked intervals for custom lengths
- Bright output visible in daylight conditions
- Flexible PCB bends around curves and corners
Watch Out For
- Data signal degrades over long cable runs without repeaters
- High current draw at full white (60mA per LED)
- Requires a beefy 5V supply for long strips
