Product Information
The FSLCOB-12V-WS2812BX160 delivers true dotless linear illumination in an ultra-narrow 5mm PCB form factor. Operating on DC 12V power, this addressable cob rgb led strip packs 160 individual WS2812B ICs and 160 LED emitters per meter (800 pixels across each 16.4ft / 5-meter reel). Each diode acts as an independent pixel, giving designers complete single-pixel control for chasing, gradient pulsing, and pixel-mapped graphics without the hot spots of traditional SMD tape.
Engineered 12V circuit maintains uniform color and lumen output across the full 5m run. Pair this strip with any standard SPI LED controller to orchestrate 16.7 million dynamic colors across vehicles, boats, tight architectural millwork, or micro aluminum profiles. For wet locations or marine installations, select the IP67 heat-shrink option.
Key Features
1-to-1 Individual Pixel Control
Features 160 WS2812B IC chips per meter paired with 160 LED chips, fully compatible with open-source controllers running WLED, FastLED, NeoPixel libraries, Arduino, and DMX-SPI signal decoders.
Ultra-Narrow 5mm PCB Profile
The 5mm slim width fits directly into tight architectural reveals, vehicle interiors, marine consoles, and small silicone neon tubing.
Stable 12V Power Delivery
Engineered 12V DC input runs up to 5 meters without visible voltage drop or end-to-end color deviation, consuming 10W per meter. Input termination default with a 3-pin JST-SM female plug, paired with a dual-conductor power tail on the output end.
Versatile Connector & Ingress Choices
Available in non-waterproof IP20 with 3M thermal adhesive back or factory-sealed IP67 transparent heat shrink sleeve with waterproof wires or JST fast connectors.

Application Scenarios
How to Install & Use This LED Strip
- Cut only along designated copper solder pad cut marks if length adjustment is needed. Reseal any cut edges with silicone sealant and end caps on IP67 versions.
- Connect the 3-pin JST-SM input plug to your digital SPI controller, verifying that +12V, Data In (DI), and Ground (GND) match the controller terminals. The power cords on the output side must not come into contact with each other, as this could cause a short circuit.
- Apply DC 12V power from an LED driver sized for at least 60W per 5-meter run to allow a 20% operating safety margin.
- When installing multiple 5-meter reels, wire all DC12V power inputs in parallel back to the power supply to prevent voltage drop and maintain balanced pixel brightness across long distances.
⚠ Precautions
- For continuous runs exceeding 5 meters, inject 12V DC power at every 5m juncture using the attached 2-conductor power leads.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does this 12V 5m strip suffer from voltage drop like 5V strips?
A:No. Operating at 12V draws lower amperage than 5V strips, allowing the full 5-meter (16.4ft) reel to run without visible color shifting or brightness dimming along the length.
