Are 12V LED strips brighter than 5V?

No, 12V addressable LED strips are not inherently brighter than 5V strips. The main difference lies in the current draw and voltage drop; 12V strips require less current and experience smaller voltage drops, making them more efficient for longer runs.

How long can a 5V, 12V, 24V LED strip be?

5V LED strips: Typically limited to shorter runs due to higher voltage drop.
12V LED strips: Maximum length is approximately 16 feet (5 meters).
24V LED strips: Can extend up to 32 feet (10 meters).
24V Constant Current LED strips: Reach lengths of up to 65 feet (20 meters).
120V/220V LED strips: Support maximum lengths of 164 feet (50 meters).

What is the difference between 12V and 24V LED strips?

Cutting Intervals:

12V LED strips can typically be cut every 3 LEDs.
24V LED strips can be cut every 6 LEDs, making them less precise for corners.

Voltage Drop:

24V strips have lower voltage drops and are better for longer runs.

Which is better: RGB or RGBW?

RGB LED strips: Ideal for creating a wide range of colors through red, green, and blue combinations.
RGBW LED strips: Include an additional white LED channel, providing more natural white light and expanding lighting options.

The choice depends on the intended use and personal preference.

Why is my RGBW LED strip not working?

Potential reasons include:

Static Damage: LED chips are sensitive to static electricity and may fail if proper precautions were not taken during manufacturing or handling.
High Temperature Damage: LEDs are sensitive to heat, and improper soldering can cause permanent damage.
Moisture Damage: If LED packaging absorbed moisture and wasn't properly dried, high temperatures can cause cracking during use.
Soldering Issues: Poor solder joints or insufficient solder can result in connection failures.
Physical Damage: Improper handling during shipping or installation, such as excessive bending or pressure, can damage the strip.
