Our Review

After integrating the WS2812B WS2815 5050 Individually Addressable LED Strip WS2811 WS2812 30/60/144Leds/Pixels/m Smart Light DC5V/12V(White PCB,DC12V WS2815_4M 30 IP65) 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 WS2815 5050 Individually Addressable LED Strip WS2811 WS2812 30/60/144Leds/Pixels/m Smart Light DC5V/12V(White PCB,DC12V WS2815_4M 30 IP65) 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

  • Easy to cut at marked intervals for custom lengths
  • Flexible PCB bends around curves and corners
  • Individually addressable LEDs for complex animations
  • Compatible with FastLED and Adafruit NeoPixel libraries

Watch Out For

  • Data signal degrades over long cable runs without repeaters
  • Requires a beefy 5V supply for long strips
  • High current draw at full white (60mA per LED)
