What makes this 7mm wide strip special?

Its primary advantage is the combination of high pixel density (144 LEDs/m) on an extremely narrow 7mm PCB, allowing for detailed effects in very tight or slim installations where other strips won't fit.

Is this SK6812 strip compatible with WS2812B controllers and code?

Yes, absolutely. The SK6812 uses the same single-wire control protocol as the WS2812B, so it is compatible with most controllers, libraries (like FastLED), and code written for WS2812B strips.

What is the difference between Normal Brightness and High Brightness?

The High Brightness option uses more power (43.2W/m vs 28W/m) to drive the LEDs for maximum light output. Choose Normal Brightness for lower power consumption and heat, and High Brightness for applications requiring maximum visibility.

What kind of power supply do I need?

You need a regulated DC 5V power supply. The amperage (A) required depends on the length and brightness you choose. Please consult our Power Consumption table to select a supply with at least 20% more capacity than your strip's total wattage.

Can I connect multiple rolls together?

Yes, you can connect strips end-to-end using the JST connectors. However, for runs longer than 2-3 meters, you must inject power at multiple points along the run to avoid voltage drop, which can cause colors to dim or shift.

How do I choose between the IP20 and IP67 waterproof ratings?

Choose IP20 for indoor, dry applications like PC cases or cove lighting. Choose IP67 (silicone tube) for areas that may be exposed to moisture, splashes, or high humidity, such as bathrooms, kitchens, or outdoor covered patios.

Product Information

Create exceptionally detailed and fluid lighting animations where space is at a premium. This SK6812 addressable RGB LED strip packs an incredible 144 mini 3535 SMD LEDs into each meter on an ultra-narrow 7mm wide PCB. This high-density design is perfect for creating seamless color gradients and intricate visual displays in tight channels, slim profiles, or complex shapes. Operating on DC 5V, each LED is individually addressable, giving you pixel-perfect control over 24-bit color for stunning 'dream color' effects.

Similar to the popular WS2812B, the SK6812 IC offers the same control interface but with improved color and brightness stability across a wider voltage range, making it a robust choice for professional installations. You can control this strip with a wide variety of microcontrollers like Arduino and Raspberry Pi, or dedicated SPI controller. Each strip includes 3-pin JST-SM connectors for easy linking, though for longer runs, power injection is recommended. To get started, you'll need a suitable 5V power supply.

Key Features

Ultra-Slim 7mm PCB

Our narrowest high-density RGBIC strip, designed to fit into tight spaces and slim aluminum channels where standard strips cannot.

High-Density 144 Pixels/m

Packed with 144 mini 3535 SMD LEDs per meter for incredibly smooth color gradients and detailed, fluid animations.

Individual Pixel Control

Each LED is a controllable pixel with an integrated SK6812 IC, allowing for complex chase, rainbow, and dream color effects.

Vivid 24-Bit Color

Achieve over 16 million vibrant colors with 256 brightness levels per channel (Red, Green, Blue) for precise color mixing.

Flexible & Customizable

Available in multiple lengths, brightness levels, and IP ratings (IP20 indoor or IP67 outdoor) to perfectly match your project's needs.

SK6812 vs. WS2812B: An Upgrade in Stability

The SK6812 IC is highly compatible with the WS2812B, often serving as a drop-in replacement that uses the same control libraries and data protocols. Strips can even be chained together.
The primary advantage of the SK6812 is its voltage-independent color and brightness. This means it maintains more consistent color display even when there are minor voltage drops along the strip.

How to Install & Use This LED Strip

Ensure the mounting surface is clean, dry, and free of dust or oils.
Measure and cut the strip at the designated copper cut lines between LEDs if a shorter length is needed.
Peel the backing from the 3M adhesive and press the strip firmly onto the surface.
Connect the 3-pin JST connector to your controller's 5V, GND, and Data output. Ensure the data direction matches the arrows on the strip.
Connect a DC 5V power supply to your controller and/or the strip's power input wires. For long runs, inject power at both ends or every few meters to prevent voltage drop.
Power on and use your controller's software or app to program your desired colors and effects.

⚠ Precautions

Always use a regulated DC 5V power supply. Applying more than 5V will destroy the strip.
The IP20 version is for indoor, dry locations only. The IP67 version is protected against water splashes but is not for permanent underwater submersion.
For long continuous runs, voltage drop can cause color and brightness shifts at the far end. Plan for power injection every 1-2 meters for optimal performance.
The strip can get warm, especially at high brightness. Ensure adequate ventilation or mount in an aluminum channel for heat dissipation.

Power Consumption Reference

These values are for the full strip length at maximum brightness (all white). We recommend a power supply with at least 20% greater capacity than the calculated load.

Length	Power	Recommended Driver
1m	20W	DC5V 4.8A (24W) or higher
2m	40W	DC5V 9.6A (48W) or higher
5m	100W	DC5V 24A (120W) or higher

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?

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: Outdoor Silicone Tube IP67 - Adhesive Back · Outdoor Silicone Tube IP67 - With Brackets · 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
