Review on 500Pcs WS2811 12Mm LED Pixel String Light - Individually Addressable, Dream Color RGB, IP68 Waterproof For Outdoor Advertising Board Signs DC 5V by Viswanath Lopez

ALITOVE WS2811 12mm Diffused Digital RGB LED Pixel Light Individually Addressable Round LED Pixels Module IP68 Waterproof DC 5V 50pcs/set (sold by Alitove) -- Purchased the strand to test out for either holiday lighting or a television Ambilight clone set-up. Strand is heavy duty with what appears to be quite a good job at sealing the LED itself. These are WS2811 5v which is driven by a single signal wire connected to your processor of choice.I paired these with an Elegoo Arduino Uno clone and utilized the FASTled LED library along with the TwinkleFox sketch to create a fancy, glowy strand of colour. The wiring, as depicted in the seller photos, is colored so you may wish to paint these to allow them to blend a bit better if the strands will be showing. Each LED on the strand worked as described with no issues at all.Basic setup example for the 50 led strand would be: power to a separate power supply (I chose a 5v/10a regulated brick), connect data (white) to the appropriate pin on an Arduino Uno, connect GND (blue) to Arduino GND and (optional) connect Red to VIN on Arduino to power from the same source. Pop the Arduino in a project case, secure the connections and you're good to go with the FASTled library and the TwinkleFox sketch customized to your preference.JST connectors are on both ends allowing you to add more strands. Overall quality is seemingly pretty darn good so I'll be purchasing more in the near future from the same seller. Future projects: Ambilight clone for my TV, permanent outdoor holiday/accent lighting for my tree (will need about 1500-2000 LEDs for that project) and room accent lighting.Highly recommended - both the product and the seller.
