Question about item
Description
This addressable WS2811 pixel string is designed for 12 V setups and is commonly used for
DIY holiday lighting, house outlines and garden installs.
Standard spacing is 4 inch (≈ 10 cm). Choose pixel count, connector and cable color via the options.
WS2811 stands for digitally addressable RGB pixels. Each pixel can be controlled individually,
enabling chases, patterns and clean outlines – from small props to larger displays.
A solid choice for rooflines, windows, arches, props and MegaTrees.
Consistent spacing helps your layout look tidy and intentional.
Many builders like 12 V for longer runs because current is typically lower than with 5 V at similar power.
Still, for larger displays a planned power injection strategy is the reliable approach.
Designed for WS2811 controllers in 12 V setups.
Pick your pixel count (e.g. 50/100), connector (JST or xConnect®) and cable color
so it matches your controller and extension system.
First select pixel count, then the connector and cable color.
Standard spacing: 4 inch (≈ 10 cm).
The pixels are IP68 (potted).
For a weatherproof system, the connector matters too:
xConnect® is outdoor-suited; other connectors may need additional protection/sealing.
Note: Cable gauge details (e.g. 18 AWG / 0.75 mm²) are listed in the “Specifications” tab.
