Santas Helper Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 It would be helpful to see a picture or a link to the product you are speaking of and not just the company's website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. P Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 What did you want to know about them? The original LOR CCRs are LPD6803 but not 48 led/m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sysco Posted March 9, 2018 Author Share Posted March 9, 2018 I didn't think they made these strips in 48 leds per meter only in 30 per meter never saw the pixels 12mm in 6803 wondering why lor would not use them instead of 2811 's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I admit that 48 seems odd as that would be 18 pixels a meter or 80 pixels for a 5m strip and that may just throw some people off who are use to 50 or 100 pixels per 5m strip. As a matter of fact, HC use to sell ws2811 with 48 led/m. Edited March 9, 2018 by Mr. P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. P this is the first time I have seen these do you know of any other sites that sell these would like to use them instead of 2811 in my arches staying with 6803 this year and would you know of any other site that sell 6803 pixel nodes thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 30 led/m is more common and easier to find and if you just want to stick with LPD6803 because they are four wire then you could always use ws2801 as they are four wire as well.

k6ccc Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 27 minutes ago, sysco said: would like to use them instead of 2811 in my arches staying with 6803 this year One of the big advantages of the 2811s (and I suspect that is the reason most people use them) is that they are far less distance limited compared to most other pixel types. There is a reason that LOR only gives you a couple feet between the controller and first pixel and they don't sell extensions - they don't work well if the cable distance is very long. On the other hand, WS2811 pixels reliably work over 15 feet and generally more than that. As for 48 RGB LEDs per meter strip, that is what I'm using for the strips in front of my roses (although mine are WS2811 strips). Last thing, please use punctuation in your posts. When you don't it makes it very hard to know what you were trying to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you don't it makes it very hard to know what you were trying to say. I would like to stay with lor because I have 10 extra ccr controllers that I can use, put the ccr next to the arches no distance . I was also thinking I could use the ccr individual controller to run 6803 pixels strings instead of getting any new boards to run 2811's. The last thing about punctuation sorry about that but not good at it yeah my teacher would say to many words running together thank you for your reply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
