WeissWelsh Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Hello, I have a question concerning pixel strings with different max power and different max current. For this question, I'm going to give links to 2 different products. #1 -- Ray Wu 12V 12mm 50 node WS2811 (https://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/DC12V-WS2811-pixel-node-50pcs-a-string-IP68-rated-epoxy-resin-filled-with-all-black-wire/701799_867072780.html?spm=2114.12010615.0.0.12c3744furhuU5) #2 -- A different Ray Wu 12V 12mm 50 node WS2811(https://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/50pcs-DC12V-addressable-12mm-WS2811-led-smart-pixel-node-with-all-GREEN-wire-20AWG-IP68-rated/701799_32727364075.html?spm=2114.12010615.0.0.7bf4a7318294jv) They are all WS2811 and all are 12mm nodes. Yet, the watts and amps are different. #1 above is: 0.3W and 30ma #2 above is: 0.6W and 50ma What does this mean in terms of the pixels? Is one going to be brighter than the other? If not, why the difference is power/current? Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
butlerlj Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 did you ever figure out the difference? Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeissWelsh Posted August 20, 2018 Author Share Posted August 20, 2018 (edited) Hi Larry, I kind of found out on my own after I received the lights. I hooked them up to a meter and found that the specs listed on the first lights were not correct. Both strings came in at exactly the same at about 0.6W and 50ma.
