Pixel Properties
Pixels come in many different shapes and properties. The most common properties are:
Form Factor
- Strings (Can be any length, but more then 50 pixels will require power injection)
- Strips (Usually 5M length)
- Modules
LEDs per meter
- Strips
(Note, many 12VDC strips have 3 LEDs wired together as one pixel)
- 30 LED/m
- 60 LED/m
- Strings
- 10 LED/m (100mm spacing between nodes is common )
Power Supply Voltage
(Note: LEDs generally draw 20ma per color, or 60ma (0.06A) per pixel)
- 5VDC
- 12VDC
- 24VDC
LED Type
Waterproofing
(don't trust the IP ratings, they vary quite a bit!) Additional information about sealing pixel strings
Wire Size
- 18 Gauge wire (Thicker, better for longer distance or more pixels)
- 20 Guage wire
Control chip and number of wires
(3 wire= V+,GND,Data) (4 wire=V+,GND,Data,Clock)
- 4 bits per color, 16 dimming levels per color. (Total Colors = 16x16x16 = 4,096 colors)
- 5 bits per color, 32 dimming levels per color. (Total Colors = 32x32x32 = 32,768 colors)
