EmmienLightFan Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 http://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/5m-WS2811-LED-digital-strip-60leds-m-with-30pcs-WS2811-built-in-the-5050-smd-rgb/701799_653641294.html I need a 5m WS2811 strip with 50 LEDs total. Does 30 leds/m mean individual single color LEDs , which would be 10 5050 RGB leds, or does it mean 30 5050 RGB leds, which would mean 90 single colour LEDs inside those.

Hopefully this helps. Edited September 27, 2015 by canadianchristmas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmmienLightFan Posted September 27, 2015 Author Share Posted September 27, 2015 I'm still confused.You say it hAs 150 channels, which would be 50 pixels on the string, but then you say that it has 30 5050 leds per meter, which would be 150 5050 leds.

These ones on your screen shot are 3 led per integrated chip. The ones from the link have a chip under each led. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
