When you visit a lighting shop, one of the items that you will find is a LED strip light. It’s pretty standard, and nowadays, people have been incorporating them non-stop in various applications. From the simplest to the most bizarre, strip lights are the go-to for most DIY projects, as they’re easy to work with and simple to install! As mentioned before, a RGBW LED consists of red, green, blue and white LED chips. A wide range of colors are mixed by altering power on or off of the four basic LED chips. For example, if the red and green channels are opened at the same time while turning off the blue channel, LED will generate a yellow color. The mixture of red and green light creates yellow light that we perceive. You may be doubt that there are only several colors according to the forward lighting method, but how to create more colors?

RGB LED strips feature a 3 in 1 Red, Green and Blue diode giving users access to the full chromatic spectrum. This allows users to access a range of single colours to change the mood of a room using a compatible controller.RGBWW – it’s similar to an RGBW strip light but with the addition of warm white. The only difference between the two is the saturation of the colour white. Because of the warm white chip, this strip can produce a softer yellowish-white glow. Summary: RGBIC LED strip light is a utility home improvement. It can display various colors simultaneously. However, it cannot be cut like regular RGB strip lights. And RGBIC strip light is more expensive than RGB and RGBW strip light. When the RGB color mode is active, the white leds are turned off, and when the WHITE color mode is active, As we all know, red, green and blue are the three primary colors and each color scale has 256 levels. Just the combination of three basic colors can generate as large as millions of different colors. It is not hard to image how gigantic the total amount of combination of red, green, blue and white light. To achieve the dynamic color modifications, simply control the power of LED chips cannot work. The level of each color is related with the lighting intensity. Therefore, multiple colors can be generated by adjusting the output of each LED. PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) is used to control the output of the RGBW LED light colors that we perceive. PWM controls the voltage of each LED by adjusting duty cycle, then the current through each LED is adjusted. The larger the current, the brighter the LED, and vice versa. In consequence, color levels are adjusted. The mixture of red, green, blue and white LED and different color levels of them accomplish dynamic and abundant color shadings. RGBIC (RGB + a built-in Independent Chip) strip light is a higher level of the RGB strip light. It has the same color options, over 16 million colors, like RGB and RGBW strip light. RGBIC LED strip lights' built-in independent chip could display a rainbow-like lighting effect.

To ensure that the controller will work with the strip light, remember this an RGB + W controller can work with an RGB strip. You just have to skip wiring the white. However, an RGB control will not work if you use an RGB + W strip light. Before purchasing, you must ensure that you have the correct combination to avoid wasting money. RGB LEDs can produce white light by mixing the primary red, green and blue lights together in theory. But the mixture includes blending and diffusion of colors, creating factitious white light. This kind of white light seems to be covered with fog. The hazy light will cause discomfort visual experience to people. In contrast, RGBW LEDs are able to produce cleaner white light and lower saturate colorful light, providing comfortable visual experiences to our eyes. Further more, RGBW LED light is capable of producing a wider range of unique color shadings hue and more flexible in mixing colors due to the addition of white light LED. Less energy consumption This magnificent RGB natural daylight LED strip light is available from our innovative NeoLED strip light range. Featuring a single COB, there is an amazing 560 LEDs per metre, which creates a beautiful continuous line of light.Colour changing LED strips work by mixing multiple colours together to produce a range of single colours. The type of LED chip being used will determine the colours available using that particular LED Strip. Our RGBW strip light is made from quality components such as a 2oz PCB. This ensures they are durable, and the professional lighting design will not need replacing regularly. They are also very energy-efficient while emitting a glorious and attractive light effect, perfect for commercial and domestic projects. An RGB + W strip light may outrank an RGB strip since it’s much more flexible and the selection is broader. Although it’s more expensive, the RGB + W strip comes with a wider set of installation and upgraded functionality.
