Question about item
Description
This addressable WS2811 pixel string is designed for 12 V setups and is often used for
DIY Christmas lighting, home & garden installations and larger pixel projects.
The standard spacing is 4 inch (≈ 10 cm). Thanks to the square / lay-flat form factor, the pixels sit flush
and are ideal for mounting on flat surfaces (e.g. props, signs, matrices).
Choose pixel count, connector and cable color easily via the variants.
Square / lay-flat pixels sit flush and are preferred when pixels are mounted visibly on
flat materials (e.g. coro props, signs, frames or pixel matrices).
This delivers a clean, even look on surfaces. Depending on the version, the wire exit can be on the side – for outdoor use,
the connector system and proper sealing matter in addition to the potted pixels.
Common uses include rooflines, window frames, garden arches, figures/props and MegaTrees.
The square / lay-flat form factor is also ideal for flat props and matrix surfaces.
Especially for visible outlines, clean spacing and a consistent overall look are key.
This pixel string is designed for WS2811 controllers. Choose the right combination of
pixel count (e.g. 50 or 100), connector system (e.g. JST-SM or xConnect®)
and cable color. This way the string matches your controller and extension system.
First choose the pixel count, then the correct connector and cable color.
Standard spacing: 4 inch (≈ 10 cm).
The pixels are IP68 (potted). For a permanently weatherproof installation, the
connector matters as well: xConnect® is outdoor-ready; other connector types may require
protection/sealing depending on your setup.
Note: Details such as wire gauge (e.g. 18 AWG / 0.75 mm²) can be found in the “Attributes” tab.
