WS2812B Neopixel LED Strip Features:
WS2812B, also known as Neopixel, is a type of addressable LED (Light Emitting Diode) strip that allows individual control of each LED within the strip. It is an intelligent control LED light source that integrates the control circuit and RGB chip in a 5050 component package. WS2812b is a DC5v led strip and has an IC built into each LED which allows one-wire interface communication.
The WS2812B Neopixel LED strip consists of multiple LEDs connected in series, with each LED containing a tiny microcontroller that controls its color and brightness. These microcontrollers communicate with each other through a one-wire protocol, allowing for easy programming and control of the entire strip.
WS2812 runs on 5V, while WS2811 runs on 12V. If you want to know more about the differences between WS2812 vs WS2811, click here for details.

How to use WS2812B Neopixel LED Strip?
WS2812B vs SK6812, LED strip compare
WS2812B and SK6812 are two popular types of addressable LED strips that allow for individual control of each LED within the strip. Here are the key differences between the two:
(1) Communication Protocol: WS2812B and SK6812 both adopt single NZR communication mode.
(2) Color Accuracy: SK6812 has a wider color gamut and can produce more accurate colors than WS2812B. This is because SK6812 has a built-in white LED that helps to improve color accuracy.
(3) Power Consumption: When the quantity of LEDs per meter is the same, SK6812 RGBW consumes slightly more power than WS2812B RGB due to the additional white LED.
(4) Price: WS2812B neopixel LED strip is generally cheaper than SK6812, which may make it a more cost-effective option for some projects.
Here’s a comparison table between WS2812B and SK6812 LED strips:
Item | WS2812B | SK6812 |
Voltage | DC5v | DC5v |
Color | RGB | RGB/W |
LED Type | RGB 5050 chip | RGB 5050 chip |
PWM Resolution | 8-bit (256 levels) | 8-bit (256 levels) |
Wires | Positive + Negative +Single Data wire | Positive + Negative +Single Data wire |
Price | Normal | a little higher |
In summary, SK6812 is a RGB/RGBW led strip, can produce more accurate colors than WS2812B. In price, WS2812B is more affordable than K6812. Ultimately, the choice between the two will depend on the specific requirements of your project.
Frequent Asked Questions
(1) What is the voltage requirement for a WS2812B LED strip?
The WS2812B LED strip requires a voltage of 5V to operate. This is the standard voltage for most WS2812B LED strips,
(2) Can I use WS2812B neopixel LED strip outdoors?
IP67 WS2812B can be used outdoors, encase the LED strips in a waterproof covering, such as a silicone tube or waterproof epoxy resin. This will protect the LED strips from moisture and other environmental factors.Purchase WS2812B LED strips that are specifically designed for outdoor use. These strips are typically made with weatherproof materials and are designed to withstand exposure to the elements.
Regardless of which option you choose, it is important to ensure that the power supply and controller for the LED strips are also protected from the elements. This can be done by using a waterproof enclosure or covering them with waterproof material.
(3) Can I cut a WS2812B neopixel LED strip?
Yes, you can cut a WS2812B LED strip to a shorter length. Each WS2812B LED on the strip is individually addressable and can be controlled separately. This means that you can cut the strip to the desired length, rewire it as necessary, and control the remaining LEDs with the same controller.
Note: When cutting the LED strip, it is important to cut it at the designated cut marks. These are typically located between the solder pads on the strip. Make sure to cut the strip at the marked location to avoid damaging the LED or the circuitry.
