Review on πŸ’§ IP68 Waterproof ALITOVE 50pcs DC 12V WS2811 Led Pixel Black 12mm Diffused Digital RGB Addressable Dream Color Round LED Pixels Module by Alan Sitton

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works well but not to specification

The product works well and is bright enough. It looks waterproof, which also relieves stress. My Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense works fine. The only problem is that the thread I received doesn't match the description on the site. It says it's a 12V WS2811, but I can only get it to work with the 5V WS2812 protocols. Luckily this still works for my project but could be a deal breaker. Fortunately, the power consumption is also below the specified 15 W, which is why the 12 V version was chosen in the first place. Curiously, the circuit boards in the lamps are designed for 12 V.
