ALITOVE WS2811 RGB-IC Addressable LED Strip 16.4ft, 300 LEDs, IP65 Waterproof

Overview

The ALITOVE WS2811 RGB-IC Addressable LED Strip offers a generous 16.4-foot (5 m) run of vibrant color with programmable precision. Featuring 300 5050 LEDs and 100 WS2811 ICs, the strip is organized in groups of three LEDs per IC. This arrangement allows each trio to be controlled independently, delivering smoother color transitions, richer gradients, and more nuanced effects than standard RGB strips.

Designed for flexible installation, it supports a wide range of hobbyist and professional controllers. While the strip itself carries no built-in controller or power supply, it is built to work with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and multiple app-based or music-responsive controllers when paired with compatible hardware. This setup makes it suitable for ambient room lighting, centerpiece displays, stage backdrops, or eye-catching signage in both indoor and outdoor environments, thanks to its IP65 waterproof coating and robust mounting options.

Key capabilities

• 5 m length with 300 LEDs and 100 WS2811 ICs enables versatile layouts and a broad color palette.
• Each 3-LED group is independently addressable, enabling dynamic effects, gradients, and synchronized scenes.
• Compatibility with popular programmable controllers and apps (controller sold separately), including Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and SP-series controllers.
• 3-pin JST-SM connectors on both ends simplify wiring; separate power and ground at both ends support reliable power delivery.
• Silicone coating provides IP65 weather resistance, while 3M VHB adhesive tape offers a secure, durable mounting solution.
• Can be cut and welded along marked cutting lines to fit custom lengths and configurations.

Practical uses and ideas

• Create immersive ambient lighting in living rooms, home theaters, or lounges with color transitions that respond to music or scenes.
• Enhance event spaces, wedding backdrops, hotel lobbies, or bars with vivid, programmable color effects and flowing gradients.
• Design eye-catching signage, architectural outlines, or decorative features for outdoor or semi-outdoor installations thanks to IP65 protection.
• Split a long run into zones for targeted accents on furniture, walls, or displays, while maintaining a cohesive color theme.

Installation and tips

Plan your layout, measure lengths, and note where you’ll inject power to prevent voltage drop. Use the included cut lines to tailor the length, and apply the 3M VHB tape to clean, dry surfaces for a strong hold. Remember, power supply and controller are not included—select compatible units to complete your setup.
