Key Features

1. Individual Pixel Control – 60 Pixels per Meter

Both strips feature 1‑LED‑per‑section control, allowing each LED to be addressed independently for:

  • Smooth, dynamic animations

  • Chasing and flowing effects

  • Precise color control per pixel

2. SK6809 RGB vs SK6816 RGBW – Choose the Right Chip

Feature

SK6809 (RGB)

SK6816 (RGBW)

Best for

Pure color‑changing effects

Color + high‑quality white light

White light

Mixed from RGB

Dedicated white chip (pure, clean white)

PWM frequency

1KHz

4KHz (reduces flicker for video)

CRI

Standard

>90 (accurate color rendering)

Color temperature options

Warm / Neutral / Cool white

Choose SK6816 RGBW if: Your project requires both vibrant colors and high‑quality white light — ideal for retail displays, hospitality, and architectural lighting where color accuracy matters.

Choose SK6809 RGB if: Your project focuses on pure color‑changing effects where white light is rarely used.

3. DC24V Operation – Long Runs, Reduced Voltage Drop

Operating at DC24V offers:

  • Reduced voltage drop – consistent brightness over longer distances

  • Efficient power consumption – up to 19.2W/m

  • Compatibility with standard 24V power supplies

4. Multiple Waterproof Options – IP20 / IP65 / IP67

IP Rating

IP67

Silicone tube + full glue injection

Outdoor, rain, and temporary immersion

5. 10mm PCB – White or Black, 2 Oz or 3 Oz Copper

Option

Benefit

PCB color

White (reflects light better) / Black (discreet appearance)

Copper thickness

2 Oz (standard) / 3 Oz (improved heat dissipation, reduced voltage drop)

6. 120° Beam Angle – Wide, Even Illumination

The 120° beam angle ensures:

  • Wide, uniform light distribution

  • No hotspots or dark spots

  • Suitable for cove, accent, and general lighting

7. Flexible Cutting – Every 16.6mm

The strip can be cut every 16.6mm (per LED), allowing:

  • Precise length adjustment for any project

  • Maximum flexibility in design and layout

  • Reduced waste – use only what you need

8. Easy Installation – 3M Adhesive Backing

  • Peel‑and‑stick mounting for flat surfaces

  • Secure adhesion with 3M double‑sided tape

  • Clean, quick installation – no special tools required
