RGB LED Pixel Strings/Nodes

RGB LED Pixel Strings/Nodes is commonly used in holiday decoration and Sign Displays, each Pixel/Node can be controlled individually by controller using various communications protocols. Each Pixel uses 3 data channels to control it, one each for Red, Green and Blue. A string of 50 Pixels would use 150 channels in your sequencing software. (by www.bintekled.com)

Square type (12mm Square LED Pixel String/Node)

or other specified form factor .

2. LEDs Spacing between Each Node of RGB Pixles

Normally the spacing between each node is 4" or 6" , or other specified

spacing.

3.Power Supply Voltage for Smart Pixel Strings

Typically 5VDC vs. 12 VDC

4. Color Depth 

The number of bits of data used to control each color such as 4,6,8 12 bits Etc.

5. Waterproofing for RGB LED Stings

Typically IP65 , IP67 and  IP68.

6. Wire Size for Pixel Strings

The size of the wire connecting the Pixels together 18 AWG vs. 20AWG

7. Pixel (IC)Control chips for the Pixel Node

WS2801, WS2811, UCS1903, TM1809, TM1824 Etc.

8. Number of Wires Required 

Normally 3 wires vs 4 wires
