Product description
The LED tube contains 60 WS2812B RGB LEDs per meter in a silicone tube. Each LED has its own controller and can be individually adjusted for color and brightness. Control is carried out via a single data cable using a serial single-wire protocol, requiring only one data output from a microcontroller such as an Arduino or ESP32.
The operating voltage is 5 V DC. Since each LED draws up to 60 mA at full brightness, total power consumption increases significantly with the tube length and brightness. Longer sections therefore require an adequately sized 5 V power supply, especially when all LEDs are to illuminate in full white simultaneously.
The silicone tube protects the LEDs from moisture and dust (IP67) and also serves as a diffuser. It distributes the light evenly instead of allowing individual light points to remain visible. This makes the tube suitable for decorative contour lighting on furniture, running-light effects, color gradients, and freely programmable light patterns, both indoors and outdoors.
The 5-meter length can be extended by connecting multiple tubes in series; connections are made using suitable connectors or soldered connections. Operation requires a 5 V power supply with sufficient capacity, a microcontroller, and the appropriate software library for the WS2812B protocol.
Safety information
This product is intended exclusively for building prototypes and for testing and development purposes, not for installation in the household mains circuit. The 5 V power supply must be adequately sized and must not be overloaded during full-load operation. Work on or near electrical installations must be carried out by qualified electricians; if you are unsure about the power supply, consult a qualified electrician before commissioning.
