How to Use / Installation Guide

1. Power Supply: Use a stable 12V DC power adapter or power supply with sufficient amperage to drive the number of LEDs you plan to use. Calculate the total current draw (e.g., 60mA per LED at full brightness white) to select the right power supply.
2. Controller: Connect the pixel lights to an addressable LED controller (e.g., Arduino, Raspberry Pi with compatible HAT, or dedicated pixel controller) that supports the SK6812 protocol.
3. Connection: Use the X-Connect connectors to link multiple strings together. Ensure correct polarity: VCC (12V), Data, Backup Data, and GND.
4. Programming: Use software like WLED, xLights, or custom code to program your desired lighting effects, patterns, and color schemes.
5. Mounting: The lights can be mounted using clips, zip ties, or adhesive backing. For outdoor use, ensure all connections are secure and protected from direct exposure to heavy rain.
6. Safety: Always disconnect power before making or changing connections. Do not exceed the maximum recommended string length for your power supply to avoid voltage drop.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is the difference between SK6812 and WS2812B?
           A: The primary difference is that the SK6812 includes a dedicated white LED chip (RGBW), allowing for pure white light. The WS2812B only has RGB chips and mixes white from red, green, and blue, which can appear slightly off-white.

Q: How many LEDs can I connect in a single string?
           A: The number depends on your power supply's capacity and data signal integrity. For a stable signal, it's recommended to power inject every 100-150 LEDs and use signal amplifiers for very long runs.

Q: Is a controller included?
           A: Typically, the pixel strings are sold separately from the controller. You will need to purchase a compatible addressable LED controller.

Q: Can I cut these lights to custom length?
           A: Yes, they can be cut at designated cut points (usually marked with a scissor icon). You will need to solder new connectors if you wish to reconnect the cut sections.
