Rextin WS2811 Pixels Digital Addressable LED String Lights Waterproof RGB Full Color 12mm DC 5V (DC5V 500pcs)

I have bought roughly 2000 of this Led. So far, no issue. The one I bought are 5v. I am using them with ESP32 for Christmas decoration. Forgot to mention that they are waterproof as well.

The media could not be loaded. Great quality for the price. Well made pixels. I’ve had another brand at a similar price that had lower quality on the casing and the pixels were often not pointing straight. Rextin brand are made as though there is care put into the making of them. I am very happy.I use them for my holiday (Halloween and Christmas) Light shows. So, in this case, a matrix display (signage) and the outlines to the windows at my house. Also, I drilled some holes in 2 x 4 to light up a cross I made to hang on my chimney.The lights in the matrix and window outlines have been actively working nightly for October and working great. The lights in the cross will be tested soon and will mostly be used for the Christmas light show.The included video is the lights operating during a programmed sequence. They are doing what they are supposed to do.

These have worked perfectly for me. I made a 130 LED animated pumpkin using an Arduino clone. They even survived accidental reverse polarity during testing. I am using the Neopixel library. Just use NEO_RGB + NEO_KHZ400 in your parameter string. I plan to use the rest of the 500 I purchased for Christmas animations. I have noticed a slight color difference with mixed colors like orange, yellow and magenta from string to string, but it is not noticeable enough to be a problem. In a long straight line it would never be noticeable. In my pumpkin with three different stings in close proximity it is just barely noticeable. It might be more of a problem in a matrix like a sign. They are very, very bright.

I have done many projects with WS2811 pixels (such as these) and with WS2812b strips. With this set of 500, I created 4 strings of 120 LEDs each. They work very well with one exception: If you drive them all white (0xffffff) the color becomes more reddish as you go further down the string. It's not the software, because the same software drives other projects. It's not the power, because I even used a 40amp power supply, running one string of 120 at a time, and tried bridging the +5V so that only short runs of LEDs were direct connected to +5V. This doesn't affect my project though because I only use primary and secondary colors.I did also notice that the plastic lens of many of the LEDs have small drops of glue on them. This also doesn't affect my project but it makes you wonder about the manufacturing.

Second order of these lights, always packed well and all leds worked as intended. Great value for your money. Use these in my Christmas show. Good buy!!

I ordered 2 sets (1000 LED's) to create holiday lights around my house. After adding a power supply cord to each string, 17 of the 20 sets were used to go around my house. Had to upgrade from an Arduino Uno to Mega 2560, as the sketch I had created required 130% of the Uno's memory. Lights are working beautifully. Can't wait for Veteran's Day and the red, white & blue chasing lights, then another color set for Thanksgiving, Rainbow Chase for Christmas, etc. Who knows, maybe I'll buy another bundle and make my Living Room and Family Room Christmas trees dance to the Arduino Sketch's.

Excelente calidad de los componentes

Ordered 1000 5 volt and tested all with HolidayCoro 16 channel controller. Work very well. Cut the connectors off and soldered pigtails for my Christmas show megatree. Recommend highly. Cost is about half of most all competitors.I have used my original order for Christmas 2017 and 2018. Very durable. VERY bright. If fact I lowered brightness via my controller to 50% and they were still very bright. I will be ordering more for 2019.
