2. Característiques del producte
- Individually Addressable SPI LED (12V Upgrade of WS2812B): Each 5050 SMD LED has an integrated WS2815 IC chip, allowing for individual control of color and brightness.
- Dual-Signal Redundancy: Features a backup data line, ensuring that if one LED fails, the signal can still pass through to subsequent LEDs, preventing the entire strip from failing.
- Seguretat homologada per UL: The LED strip is UL-certified, ensuring compliance with safety standards. This includes UL-approved wires and circuit boards.
- Flexible i tallable: The 3.28ft (1 meter) strip contains 144 LEDs/IC/pixels and can be cut at designated points to fit specific lengths.
- Wide Controller Compatibility: Compatible with various controllers for DIY projects (e.g., SP803E, ESP32, WLED, Rasp Pi, UNO R3), Tuya APP (DR03W), BanlanX APP (SP630E/SP530E/SP602E/SP608E/SP107E/SP105E), and industrial-grade controllers (K1000C, K8000C).
- Voltage Compensació: Designed to minimize voltage drop, ensuring consistent brightness across the entire strip, especially for longer runs.

5. Instruccions de funcionament
The WS2815 LED strip requires an external controller to function. Once connected to a compatible controller and a DC12V power supply, the strip can display various lighting effects. Refer to your specific controller's manual for detailed operating instructions.
5.1 Compatible Controllers
This LED strip is compatible with a range of SPI controllers, including those supporting WiFi, Bluetooth, Alexa/Google Home, or RF remote control. Examples include SP530E WiFi Alexa Music Controller, SP630E Bluetooth Music Controller, and SP803E WLED WiFi Controller.
Imatge: Examples of recommended controllers (sold separately).
5.2 Control de brillantor
Brightness levels can be adjusted via the connected controller. The WS2815 LEDs support 256-level brightness adjustment for smooth transitions.

7. Manteniment
- Neteja: For IP30 strips, gently wipe the surface with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid using liquids or abrasive cleaners.
- Inspecció: Periodically check connections for any loose wires or signs of damage.
- Medi ambient: Ensure the strip is used within its specified IP rating environment. The IP30 version is for indoor, dry environments only.
8. Solució De Problemes
- Strip Not Lighting Up:
- Check if the DC12V power supply is correctly connected and functioning.
- Verify that the controller is properly connected and powered.
- Ensure the data input (DI) and backup data input (BI) are correctly wired to the controller.
- Confirm the data direction is correct if multiple strips are connected.
- Inconsistent Colors or Flickering:
- Comproveu si hi ha connexions soltes o cables danyats.
- Ensure the power supply is sufficient for the length of the LED strip. Voltage drop can occur on long runs without proper power injection or voltage compensació.
- Verify controller settings are appropriate for the WS2815 chip.
- Partial Strip Failure: Due to dual-signal redundancy, if a single LED fails, the rest of the strip should continue to function. If a segment fails, check the connections at the break point.
