Key Features

  • Dual-Signal Redundancy & High-Performance LEDs. The WS2815 IC (12V upgrade of WS2812B) features dual-signal backup, ensuring uninterrupted operation even if a pixel fails. Each 5050 SMD LED is individually addressable (1 IC = 1 LED), delivering true 24-bit color and 256-level brightness for ultra-smooth gradients. With pure gold wire bonding, it enhances conductivity, stability, and lifespan. IP30 rated (non-waterproof)—ideal for indoor use.
  • Universal Controller Compatibility. Compatible with WLED, Rasp Pi , ESP8266,ESP-32, and Arduino UNO R3. It can use controller like RB3 Remote, SP630E, SP608E, SP602E and DR03W, SP530E for music sync. For a 16X16 LED matrix, a DC12V 3A (36W) power supply is recommended. Note: Power supply & controller sold separately.
  • Upgraded from WS2812B LED matrix. 8x8 (64 Pixels) LED Matrix. Features 8 horizontal & 8 vertical pixels, all individually addressable. Perfect for scrolling text, animations, or custom graphics. Highly versatile for DIY projects, displays, and creative lighting effects.
  • Chainable & Bendable Design. Easily expandable using 4-pin JST connectors to link multiple panels. The flexible FPCB allows gentle bending and curving for unique installations. Can be spliced into larger displays for dynamic visuals.
  • Durable & Multi-Purpose Use. Sturdy yet lightweight, ideal for DIY LED screens, advertising boards, hotels, KTVs, bars, and event decor (Christmas, weddings). Features adhesive backing for easy mounting on walls or surfaces.
