Description
This addressable WS2811 pixel string is designed for 12 V setups and is commonly used for
DIY holiday lighting, house and garden installs, and larger pixel projects.
The focus is a more uniform appearance over longer runs – especially when power injection is not available at every point
and you want the installation to look clean and consistent.
“Regulated” means the power is stabilized inside each pixel. In practice, this results in a
more consistent appearance over longer pixel runs compared to classic resistor-based pixels.
This is especially relevant for house outlines, MegaTrees, and long linear runs where
visible differences can otherwise appear towards the end of a string.
Common applications include rooflines, window frames, garden arches, figures/props, and MegaTrees.
For highly visible outlines, a calm and consistent overall look matters.
Over long cable runs, voltage can drop towards the end. Regulated pixels keep the output stable over a wider range,
but they may shut off if the input voltage becomes too low.
For larger installs, planned power injection (e.g., at multiple points) is recommended to ensure reliability.
This pixel string is intended for WS2811 controllers in 12 V setups.
The connector is selected as a variant so the string matches your controller/extension system.
(Example: JST or xConnect®.)
First select the pixel count (e.g., 50 or 100), then choose the matching
connector. Standard spacing is 4 inch (≈ 10 cm).
The pixel string is outdoor suitable (IP68).
The outdoor suitability of the entire system also depends on the connector:
xConnect® is outdoor suitable; other connector types may require protection/sealing depending on the setup.
Note: Technical details such as wire gauge (e.g., 18 AWG / 0.75 mm²) are listed under “Features”.
