SPI-type and DMX512 addressable LED strips for pixel- or segment-level lighting control.
Artcolor manufactures SPI-type and DMX512 addressable LED strip series for commercial, architectural and OEM lighting programs. Supported IC platforms include WS2812B, WS2815, SK6812, UCS1903 and UCS2904 across 5V, 12V and 24V configurations, with pixel density, PCB design and waterproofing grade tailored to each project.
Parallel-signal addressable strips built on the DMX512 standard for professional stage, architectural and broadcast lighting.
Precision monochromatic control via robust DMX protocols. Ideal for large-scale architectural grazing where absolute dimming smoothness and zero signal latency are paramount.
Dynamic color temperature adjustment with DMX reliability. Seamlessly transitions from warm to cool white, enabling sophisticated circadian lighting designs in premium spaces.
Professional-grade parallel signal transmission for vibrant color mixing. Engineered for stage lighting and media facades where absolute reliability is critical.
Combines dynamic RGB pixel control with a dedicated pure white channel. Essential for projects requiring accurate white illumination alongside vibrant colors.
Integrates full RGB spectrum with tunable white (CCT) control. Delivers unmatched versatility for complex facade mapping.
Serial Peripheral Interface addressable strips offering high-speed data transmission and broad IC selection.
High-speed single-color chasing effects powered by advanced SPI ICs. Ideal for creating dynamic linear architectural accents and fluid wayfinding systems.
Dynamic color temperature (CCT) adjustments on a pixel-by-pixel basis. Replicates natural daylight transitions in premium residential or corporate environments.
Classic addressable RGB control via standard SPI protocols. A cost-effective solution for vibrant indoor entertainment lighting and smart home integration.
Combines SPI RGB pixel effects with an extra dedicated white diode. Achieves richer pastel tones and significantly brighter functional illumination when needed.
The most comprehensive SPI strip available. Delivers full RGB spectrum capabilities plus dynamic CCT tuning for maximum creative freedom in interactive installations.
Signal-architecture variants of SPI addressable strips, including single-signal, dual-signal, breakpoint-resume and IC-built-in constructions.
Standard 3-wire system (V+, GND, Data). Efficient and straightforward architecture for standard pixel mapping where cost and simplicity are prioritized.
Utilizes separate Data and Clock lines (4-wire system). Ensures higher data transmission rates and superior stability over longer runs compared to single-signal setups.
Fault-tolerant architecture featuring a dual-data line. If a single pixel fails, the backup signal is intended to allow downstream pixels to continue operating.
Ultra-compact integration where the control IC is embedded directly within the SMD diode footprint. Allows for maximum pixel density, creating seamless, high-resolution continuous light lines without visible dark spots between pixels. A strong choice for custom shaped displays and high-density linear fixtures.

Confirm SPI-type or DMX512 control, the exact IC model, addressing method and compatible controller output.
Specify LEDs per meter, pixels per meter and LEDs per pixel. One pixel does not always equal one LED.
Select data-only, data-plus-clock or redundant-data construction according to the required controller and fault behavior.
Choose single color, tunable white, RGB, RGBW or RGBCCT according to the required output and control channels.
Confirm operating voltage, power or current, connected length, cable size and required power-injection points.
Define the IP construction, connector, profile space, operating environment and required certification documentation.
SPI-type addressable strips use chip-specific serial data protocols, so the controller must support the exact IC model and signal timing. DMX512 uses an EIA-485 differential data link and assigned control channels or addresses for integration with professional lighting-control systems. Protocol alone does not determine reliability; buyers should also compare the IC, signal structure, addressing method, wiring distance and controller capacity.
No. A pixel is the smallest independently controlled section of an addressable LED strip. Depending on the IC, voltage and PCB design, one pixel may contain one LED package or a group of LEDs. Buyers should confirm LED density, pixel density, LEDs per pixel and cut length separately.
Match the controller to the exact IC model, data protocol, operating voltage, color configuration and signal structure. Also confirm pixel capacity per output, channel order, data direction, software workflow and the total number of connected pixels. Testing the proposed strip, controller and power supply together is recommended before production approval.
A data-only strip uses one data signal to transmit pixel commands. A data-plus-clock strip uses separate data and clock signals; the clock line is not a backup data line. A redundant-data strip uses primary and backup data paths intended to support downstream data continuity under specified fault conditions. The exact conductor count and wiring sequence depend on the selected model.
Breakpoint resume is available only with supported ICs and PCB circuits that include a backup data path. Under supported fault conditions, the backup path may allow control data to continue beyond a failed pixel or signal point. The failed pixel may remain unlit, and the function does not protect against every IC, wiring, power or PCB failure.
Power injection should be calculated from the strip voltage, maximum current or power per meter, total connected length, cable size and allowable voltage drop. Longer runs may require multiple power-feed points or shorter powered sections. The power layout should be confirmed for the selected strip, controller and installation rather than determined by voltage alone.
