Although many of us Makers have enjoyed the delights of LEDs & Lighting for various projects or just for personalisation and customisation of spaces and things, it’s great to know that there are still great developments happening within the world of LEDs, and that means that our LED adventures are certainly not over, and there will likely always be new LEDs and other fun goodies to play and experiment with, and to use in all of the weird, whacky and wonderful ways that we do. These SK6812 LED Strips are perfect examples of fresh tech amidst a now age-old industry, and are essentially designed to replace the classic WS2812b and similar IC LEDs from that era, and while they were originally designed as a simple alternative, they’ve ended up offering a few minor improvements as well, including faster PWM frequencies for less flickering.

These SK6812 RGBW LED Strips are equipped with the RGBW variants of the SK6812 IC LEDs, and this means that they come with a fourth channel specifically for white, allowing for much better colour accuracy and true white than classic 3-channel LED Strips. This makes it a great all-rounder lighting solution that can cater to vibrant living spaces just as easily as it can accommodate productive work spaces, allowing you to ignore the colours when work mode is activate, and then start up the party once work is over with whatever colours you want. Of course, this extra white channel also helps with colour accuracy and brightness throughout the entire colour gamut, allowing it to shine brightly regardless of which R, G and B channels you’re using, and even if you don’t plan on using the white channel solely without any other colours, the white channel will certainly help you find the precise blues, greens, reds and blends without sacrificing brightness or accuracy.

Finally, theses SK6812 LED Strips operate on a very convenient 5V, and that means that it is relatively easy to integrate these strips directly into various MCU projects, being controllable from simple microcontrollers like Arduino Boards, and even offering wireless capabilities when equipped with a wireless capable MCUs like the WeMos D1 R2 MCU.

Please Note: These strips are priced and stocked in single meter lengths.
