WS2818 LED Strip
The WS2818 LED strip is a LED addressable rope light that uses an external WS2818 IC to drive every 3LEDs(12v) or 6 LEDs(24v). With precise control of each group of LEDs, the WS2818 LED tape light allows for dynamic and customizable lighting effects. The WS2818 IC is integrated into the LED strip, and uses a serial protocol to communicate with a micro-controller or other programmable device.
Advantages:
- Up to 24V, allowing for very long cable lengths
- High PWM rate 2000Hz allows for filming these pixels with cameras up to 67fps
- Dual data lines reduces chance of entire strip failure

FAQ about WS2818 LED strip
What is the maximum length of a WS2818 LED tape light I can use without experiencing signal degradation?
The maximum length depends on the data signal quality and the microcontroller used. Typically, a 5-meter strip with 60 LEDs per meter works well. However, longer strips may require additional power injection points and repeaters to maintain signal quality.
Can I cut the WS2818 strip light and rejoin the pieces?
Yes, you can cut the WS2818 strip light at designated cutting points (usually marked by a scissor icon). To rejoin the pieces, you can either use soldering, connectors, or adhesive tape, depending on your requirements.
Are digital WS2818 LED lights waterproof?
Digital WS2818 LED lights come in various waterproof ratings, typically IP20 (non-waterproof), IP65 (splash-proof), and IP67 (submersible). Choose the appropriate rating based on your intended application.
Do I need a specific controller for the WS2818 LED strip?
WS2818 LED strips can be controlled using various microcontrollers, such as Arduino, Raspberry Pi, or dedicated LED strip controllers. Ensure that the controller you choose is compatible with the WS2818 and can handle the required data transfer speeds.
Can I use a WS2812 controller to control a WS2818 addressable LED strip?
Although the WS2818 and WS2812 share similarities, their differences in data transfer speed and signal reliability may cause compatibility issues. It is recommended to use a controller specifically designed for the WS2818 addressable LED strip to ensure proper functionality.
WS2818 VS WS2812 RGB LED Strip
The main differences between the WS2818 and WS2812 LED strips lie in the following areas:
Signal Reliability: The WS2818 has a dual signal line feature and a breakpoint-continuation function that enhances its reliability, ensuring the strip continues working even if a single LED or signal line fails, while WS2812 only has one data line, if one WS2812 fails, the signal cannot pass through.
Voltage : The WS2818 can make 5v, 12v and 24v LED strip while WS2812 can only make DC5v LED strip
Data Transfer Speed: The WS2818 is 2000Hz while WS2812 is 400Hz.
Color temperature: WS2818 can support Single color such as white, red, blue, CCT & RGB while WS2812 only support RGB
