The WS2811 Addressable RGB LED (12V) is a digitally controlled color-changing LED that allows individual addressing of each LED in the strip or module. Controlled via a single data line, these LEDs enable vibrant multi-color effects, animations, and precise brightness control using any compatible microcontroller like Arduino, ESP32, or Raspberry Pi.
Each LED contains a built-in WS2811 driver IC and is designed to operate on 12V, making it more tolerant to voltage drops over longer runs compared to 5V variants. These LEDs are ideal for use in decorative lighting, displays, signage, DIY projects, and more.
