WS2812 Addressable RGB Waterproof LED Strip 60LED/m DC5V 10mm – 5 Meter Reel

The WS2812 Addressable RGB Waterproof LED Strip is a highly versatile and visually striking digital LED lighting solution designed for creative lighting projects, architectural accents, decorative installations, and professional electronic applications. Featuring 60 individually addressable RGB LEDs per meter, a DC 5V power supply, and a total reel length of 5 meters, this LED strip offers precise control, vibrant color output, and flexible installation options for both indoor and outdoor environments.

Built around the popular WS2812 intelligent LED chipset, this strip allows each LED to be controlled independently, enabling dynamic lighting effects such as color chasing, animations, gradients, and pixel-level displays. Its waterproof construction further expands its usability, making it suitable for installations exposed to moisture, humidity, or occasional splashes.

Individually Addressable WS2812 RGB LEDs

At the core of this LED strip is the WS2812 integrated control IC, which combines an RGB LED and a driver chip into a single compact package. Each LED receives data serially and passes it to the next LED, allowing full pixel-by-pixel control using just one data line.

This design enables complex lighting patterns and animations that are not possible with traditional non-addressable RGB LED strips. Users can program each LED to display a different color and brightness level, making the strip ideal for advanced lighting projects and interactive designs.

High LED Density – 60 LEDs per Meter

With 60 LEDs per meter, this strip provides a high level of brightness and smooth visual effects without noticeable gaps between pixels. Over the full 5-meter reel, the strip contains 300 addressable RGB LEDs, offering excellent resolution for lighting effects, signage, and decorative displays.

The dense LED spacing makes it suitable for applications where uniform illumination and smooth color transitions are important, such as ambient lighting, cove lighting, and custom display projects.

DC 5V Operation for Easy Integration

The strip operates on DC 5V, making it compatible with a wide range of controllers, development boards, and power supplies. It works seamlessly with popular platforms such as Arduino, Raspberry Pi, ESP8266, ESP32, and dedicated LED controllers.

Because WS2812 LEDs can draw significant current at full brightness, proper power distribution is important for longer runs. Power injection at multiple points is recommended for consistent brightness across the entire 5-meter length.

Waterproof Design for Expanded Applications

This WS2812 LED strip features a waterproof protective coating, making it suitable for outdoor installations and environments where moisture may be present. The waterproof layer helps protect the LEDs and circuitry from dust, splashes, and humidity, increasing durability and longevity.

Typical waterproof LED strips are rated for applications such as decorative outdoor lighting, garden features, architectural accents, and semi-exposed installations. However, proper sealing of cut ends and connectors is essential to maintain waterproof performance.

Slim 10mm PCB for Flexible Installation

With a 10mm wide flexible PCB, this LED strip is easy to install in tight spaces, aluminum profiles, channels, or custom enclosures. The flexible design allows the strip to bend around curves and corners, making it ideal for creative layouts and non-linear designs.

The rear adhesive backing simplifies mounting on clean, flat surfaces, while optional mounting clips or channels can be used for more permanent or professional installations.

Cuttable and Extendable Design

The strip can be cut at designated cut points, allowing users to customize the length to match specific project requirements. Each segment remains individually addressable, ensuring flexibility without sacrificing functionality.

Multiple strips can also be connected together (with appropriate power considerations), making it easy to scale installations from small decorative accents to large lighting displays.
