SM16703 WS2811 UCS1903 Addressable RGB LED Strip
- 9*9mil Light Emitting Chip: These LEDs use a 9*9mil light-emitting chip for high brightness and reliable color performance.
- External IC Control: These LED strips utilize external ICs, such as WS2811, which operates at 12V for three LEDs per control, or 24V for six LEDs per control. This setup allows efficient voltage usage, especially over longer lengths.
- Breakpoint Transmission: WS2811 features breakpoint continuation, ensuring that if one LED fails, others on the strip continue functioning. This feature enhances reliability and reduces maintenance.
- Stable Voltage Over Distance: With sufficient voltage, typically a single 10-meter length only needs one power source without visible voltage drop, making it ideal for extended runs in installations like architectural lighting or long decorative displays.
- Cost-Effective and Popular: Known for its affordability and wide market acceptance, the WS2811 is often a preferred choice due to its cost-performance ratio and ease of availability.

What is WS2811 Addressable RGB LED Strip?
The WS2811 Addressable RGB LED Strip is a flexible, programmable LED strip that utilizes the WS2811 IC chip, widely used in RGB LED strips for creating dynamic lighting effects. Here's an overview of its features and applications:
- Common IC Types (WS2811, SM16703, UCS1903): These ICs are popular for addressable RGB LED strips, serving to control and drive individual LEDs. They are external IC types, meaning that one IC chip controls three LEDs (known as "1-to-3" or "one IC per three LEDs"). This setup allows for advanced effects like gradual fading, color chasing, and flashing.
- Compatibility: The WS2811, SM16703, and UCS1903 ICs are compatible with each other, so they can be used interchangeably in similar applications. Each offers specific benefits:
- WS2811: Known for its versatile control capabilities, WS2811 is widely used in installations requiring flexible programming and varied effects.
- SM16703: Known for its low power consumption and temperature protection, ensuring stable operation and protection for LED beads.
- UCS1903: Offers high resistance to interference and stable signal transmission, making it ideal for long-distance, stable lighting control.
- Breakpoint Transmission: One of the key features of WS2811 IC strips is breakpoint transmission. If one LED fails, the signal can bypass it, allowing the rest of the strip to continue functioning. This improves the overall reliability and reduces maintenance needs.
- 12V Operation and Compatibility with Controllers: Operating at 12V, WS2811 strips can achieve a wide variety of effects, such as color gradients, jumps, color chases, meteor effects, and more. The strips can work with various controllers that support programmable ICs, offering a wide array of color effects.
- Durable and Flexible Design: The LEDs are mounted on a flexible PCB (Printed Circuit Board), making it easy to bend, cut, or install in various environments. Many strips are IP68-rated, making them waterproof and suitable for outdoor use.
- Applications: These strips are commonly used for residential and commercial decoration, stage lighting, advertising displays, and architectural lighting. They are especially suited for environments that require robust lighting effects and stable performance over long distances.
The WS2811 addressable RGB LED strip is ideal for applications requiring vibrant color displays and dynamic lighting effects, from decorative lighting to professional installations.

Products Details
01.External IC Control (12V and 24V Options):
- The WS2811 IC controls the RGB LEDs in configurations where each IC chip manages three LEDs for 12V and six LEDs for 24V.
- This "1-to-3" or "1-to-6" setup means each pixel or segment consists of multiple LEDs, allowing for less granular but still vibrant and effective lighting effects. The SMD 5050 LEDs used are high-quality with 9x9 mil light-emitting chips, delivering strong brightness and rich color output.
02.Breakpoint Transmission:
The WS2811 LED strip features a breakpoint transmission function, meaning that if one pixel fails, the signal will continue to be transmitted, allowing the rest of the strip to function without interruption. This enhances reliability and reduces maintenance costs, particularly in lengthy installations or commercial use.

03.Wiring with 3-Pin Configuration:
The WS2811 strip uses a 3-pin connector with additional power lines. The standard connections include a red line for the positive (V+), green for the signal, and black for the ground (GND), ensuring straightforward wiring and compatibility with a range of controllers and power sources.
04. Customizable Length and Cutting Options:
The strip is designed for flexibility in length, with 12V strips allowing cuts every 50mm and 24V strips every 100mm. This cutting flexibility allows users to tailor the strip to specific installation spaces, making it ideal for a wide range of applications.
05. Waterproofing Options:
The WS2811 LED strip is available in several waterproofing grades, from IP65 for splash-proof needs to IP68 for full submersion protection. This makes it versatile for both indoor and outdoor settings.
