what is rgbw led strip

An RGBW LED strip integrates dedicated red, green, blue, and standalone white emitter diodes within each package, producing millions of dynamic colors as well as genuine, high-purity white light without artificial color casts.

what is the difference between 12v and 24v led strip

The 12V version draws 7.5W per meter for lower power applications, whereas the 24V version draws 15W per meter for higher brightness. Both versions feature identical 100mm cut lengths, but 24V carries lower electrical current to minimize voltage drop over the 5-meter reel.

how does rgbw led strip light work

A digital SPI controller sends high-speed serial data down the signal line to the WS2814F ICs, which interpret individual byte addresses to control the PWM output of four channels (red, green, blue, and white) across 12-LED clusters.

can 24v led strip run on 12v

No, a 24V LED strip will not operate properly on 12V power because 12V cannot overcome the combined forward voltage threshold of the series-wired LED groups and IC regulator circuit.

how to power 24v led strip

Connect the strip to a regulated 24V DC constant voltage power supply rated for at least 90W to power a full 5-meter reel (75W draw plus a 20% safety headroom margin), wiring positive to 24V+ and negative to GND.

how to wire 24v led strip

Run 24V+ and GND directly from your 24V power supply to the LED strip power terminals, connect common GND between power supply and controller, and connect the controller DATA pin to the strip DIN wire.

how to connect rgbw led strip

Connect the 3-pin input connector to your digital SPI controller by aligning 12V/24V power, ground, and data, making sure the directional arrow on the PCB points away from the controller toward the strip tail.

are my led strip lights rgb or rgbw

Inspect the LED package under magnification: standard RGB packages contain three emitter dies, whereas this 4-in-1 RGBW package contains four distinct dies including one dedicated yellow phosphor-coated white section.

how long can you run an rgbw 12v led strip

A standard 12V reel runs continuously up to 5 meters (16.4ft) from a single feed point, though injecting power at both ends prevents end-of-line dimming when running all color channels at 100% output.

Product Information

The WS2814F-RGBW-120W8 is an ultra-compact addressable RGBW LED strip engineered with a narrow 8mm white PCB and an IP20 profile height of only 2.2mm. Utilizing tightly spaced 4040 SMD 4-in-1 LED packages at 120 diodes per meter, this digital RGBW LED strip delivers vivid pixel-chasing dynamic scenes alongside true, dedicated white illumination. Designed for architectural millwork, cabinet reveals, and miniature fixtures, it easily threads inside slim silicone neon sleeves and narrow mounting extrusions. With a compatible WIFI controller, the LED strip connects directly to smartphone apps and smart home automation platforms.

Key Features

Ultra-Narrow 8mm PCB Footprint

Engineered with an 8mm circuit width and 2.2mm unsealed height to fit narrow slots, cabinet grooves, and compact aluminum channels.

4-in-1 SMD4040 LED Architecture

Combines red, green, blue, and a standalone white diode inside each package to prevent chromatic fringing and deliver clean white light.

Dual Voltage Operating Modes

Available in 12V drawing 7.5W/m or 24V drawing 15W/m, both calibrated for uniform chromatic consistency across full 5-meter runs.

Synchronized 100mm Cut Interval

Features a unified cut pitch of 100mm containing 12 LEDs per segment driven by an external WS2814F IC for modular layout planning.

Four IP Protection Grades

Offered in dry-location IP20, splash-resistant IP65 silicone coating, outdoor IP67 silicone casing, and continuous submersible IP68.

Three Dedicated White Spectra

Selectable with 3000K warm white, 4000K neutral white, or 6000K daylight white to coordinate seamlessly with surrounding static fixtures.

Application Scenarios

Concealed Millwork and Cabinet Lighting The narrow 8mm PCB installs into shallow routed timber channels and glass display shelves. Its dedicated 3000K or 4000K diode provides clean architectural work light during work hours, then switches to dynamic color chasing for evening ambiance.

Custom Thin Silicone Neon Signage At 2.2mm thickness, this addressable LED strip slides effortlessly into 8mm-cavity flexible silicone neon diffusers to build dot-free curving light art. The 120 diodes per meter eliminate optical hotspots through frosted diffusers even when bent along tight contours.

Hospitality and Entertainment Venues Bars, stage coves, and hotel feature walls benefit from 24V runs that maintain uniform color balance over long runs. Pair with DMX-to-SPI gateways or pixel controllers to execute sound-reactive pulse patterns and complex venue scene presets.

How to Install & Use This LED Strip

Select the correct constant voltage power supply matched to your chosen strip: 12V DC for the 7.5W/m model, or 24V DC for the 15W/m model.
If trimming to length, cut only across the marked solder pads located every 100mm (12 LEDs). Never slice through intermediate traces between cut lines.
Link the 3-wire harness to your addressable pixel hardware: connect V+ to DC positive, GND to common ground, and DIN to the data output pin of your controller.
Configure your controller software (such as WLED, LEDHue, or BanlanX) by setting the IC chip type to WS2814F and selecting the WRGB color order to match your chosen white point.

⚠ Precautions

Never connect a 12V LED strip to a 24V power supply, as the overvoltage condition will permanently damage the WS2814F IC chips and LED packages.
For IP65, IP67, and IP68 outdoor installations, seal all cut ends, wire joints, and end caps with neutral-cure electronic grade silicone sealant before outdoor exposure.

LED Strip Light Guide

Common questions about this type of product, answered against this model’s own options. For full figures see the specification above or the spec sheet for this model.

Which controller does this LED strip light need?

Addressable LED strip lights take a data signal, so they need an SPI (pixel) controller that supports this IC — an ordinary RGB controller will not drive them. Data flows one way: connect the controller to the input end marked with the arrow. Wiring addressable LED strip lights

Do I need power injection?

This model runs on DC24V · DC12V. 5 V addressable LED strip lights lose voltage fastest, so longer runs need power fed in at both ends and at intervals along the run; 12 V and 24 V versions carry further. Keep the data line short between controller and first pixel. Choosing an addressable LED strip light

Which waterproof rating should I choose?

Available on this model: Underwater IP68 - Adhesive Back · Outdoor Silicone Tube IP67 - Adhesive Back · Surface Glued IP65 - Adhesive Back · Non-Waterproof IP20 - Adhesive Back. IP20 is for dry indoor use, IP65 handles splashes, IP67 suits outdoor and wet areas, IP68 is for continuous submersion. Choosing a waterproof rating

Can I cut it to length?

Yes. Cut only on the marked cut lines between the copper pads — the cut interval for this model is on its spec sheet. Rejoin with solder or a solderless connector. Cutting LED strip lights · we can also cut to length and fit your connector before shipping: custom LED strip light assembly.

What size power supply do I need?

Take the watts per metre from the specification above, multiply by the length you are running, then add about 25% headroom. Power calculation guide · Choosing a power supply
