LED Pixel Strings

5 volts or 12 volts?

All pixel strings use 12 mm WS2811 pixels at 10 cm spacing, potted to IP68. The main difference is the voltage: with 12 V, longer runs can be bridged between two power injection points than with 5 V.

5 V · max. 15 W per 50 pixels

5 volts

WS2811 pixel string with 50 pixels, xConnect® or JST-SM connector, black or blue/white/red cable.

12 V · max. 36 W per 50 pixels

12 volts

Standard with 50 or 100 pixels, Regulated for even brightness over longer runs and Square with a square housing and mounting tab.

Which string do I need?

I have …	… and need
short runs and small objects	pixel string 5 V
a large object with long string runs	pixel string 12 V
long strings whose end should be as bright as the start	12 V Regulated (guide: resistor or regulated?)
several strings to connect or to inject power	connectors, extensions and T-connectors between two strings
