Projects

This project page indicates the customer reused the same series strip for the second time and enhanced the program with more visual effects this year. 

The core value is reliability: the dual-signal break-point resume design allows downstream pixels to keep working even if one LED fails. The strip runs on DC5V, delivers 60 pixels/m and 12W/m, with 120° beam angle. IP options (IP20/IP64/IP65/IP67) and custom lengths (standard 5m/roll) support different installation needs. The datasheet also shows typical SPI control setup with SD card controllers such as K-1000C for effect playback

Stable with Single-End Power: WS2813 Dual-Signal Outdoor Addressable Strip (5m)

In many outdoor installations, wiring is restricted by structure and construction conditions—only one-end power input is possible, and adding extra power injection points is not allowed.
For addressable LED strips, this typically creates two critical issues:

1. Voltage drop: the farther the distance, the more likely the tail becomes dimmer or shifts color;

2. Signal chain failure: with a single-signal design, one failed pixel may break the data line and cause all downstream pixels to stop working.

Our Solution: 5m per strip, single-end power, dual-signal reliability

To meet the customer’s requirement—minimal voltage drop with single-end power—we supplied a WS2813 dual-signal addressable strip for outdoor use (5 meters per strip), designed with reliability as the priority.

1) Better voltage-drop control for single-end power

We optimized the power path and current-carrying design to better fit long-run, single-end powered installations. This helps keep brightness and color more consistent across the full 5m length, reducing visible “front-bright / tail-dim” issues.

For outdoor projects, this means simpler wiring, fewer injection points, fewer failure nodes, and more stable performance.

2) Dual-signal data line: one failed pixel won’t kill the rest

The key benefit of WS2813 is its dual-signal data line.
If one pixel fails or a solder point causes a data interruption, the backup data path can continue delivering signal so downstream pixels keep working—avoiding the “one failure, whole section down” risk.

Result: lower downtime, less maintenance, and higher project controllability.

3) Individually addressable pixels for flexible effects

You still get the full value of addressable lighting: each pixel can be controlled independently.
Static colors, gradients, chasing, flowing effects, and animations can be programmed and updated as needed—perfect for outdoor installations that require long-term operation and content updates.

When WS2813 is the right choice

WS2813 dual-signal solutions are especially suitable when you have at least two of the following conditions:

• Single-end power only; no extra injection points allowed

• Outdoor use with high maintenance cost

• High uniformity requirement (no dim tail or color shift)

• Continuous operation with low tolerance for downtime

We don’t just ship the strip—we help you design a stable, installable outdoor pixel-strip solution based on your length, power budget, control method, and protection requirements.
