Brief introduction of RGBIC led strip
Firstly, RGBIC means
RGB +
a built-in Independent IC.
is a higher level of the RGB strip light. It has the same color options, over 16 million colors, like RGB and RGBW strip light. RGBIC LED strip lights' built-in independent chip allows them to be individually controlled and display a rainbow-like, running, hosing lighting effect, etc.
So, RGBIC led strip light, also call Built-in IC led strip light,
Key features of
RGBIC led strip
1. Multiple Control Modes
by remote control and mobile APP. With chase, stroboscopic, jumping, breathing, flashing, automatic mode, timing mode, 16 million colors, and built-in sensitivity adjustable microphone.
2.
Individually controlled, all the rgbic can be controlled through every individual led on the led strip
3. Compared with monochromatic light, the multi-color simultaneous display has a better visual effect.

People also ask
1.
Is RGBIC better than RGB?
RGBIC LED Strip Light is something new that has a major advantage over regular RGB LED Strips lights: you can set multiple colors at the same time on the strips. This is possible because of its ICS (hence the name) and segmentation.
2. Can I cut RGBIC led strip?
Surely, RGBIC can be cut based on your request. Just same as normal led strip, cut the led strip on the soldering point as above.
3. What are the most popular RGBIC LED strips?
At the moment, ws2812 & sk6812 RGBIC led strip light are the most popular in the market. And ws2815 is becoming more and more popular, because of lower voltage drop and
break-continues function
.
4. Does RGBIC led strip have warm white?
Yes, the standard color for RGBIC led strip light is RGB and RGBW. Yet, we can also offer single color and dual white color based on our customer’s request.
5. What is the difference between RGBIC and RGBW?
RGBW offers the same as RGB but with a dedicated white LED as well to ensure you get the best quality white illumination possible. RGBIC gives you the ability to change colours but you can take control of every LED individually, allowing for more dynamic lighting effects like chase, meteor, rainbow, etc…
Needless to say, LED strip lights are one of the most versatile lighting solutions used in both commercial and residential properties. Not only does it contribute to the illumination of the space, but it also elevates its visual appeal. LED strip lights are both functional and aesthetic, compelling people to gravitate towards them over other artificial lights!
While there are many choices, LED strip lights are considered one of the best additions to your home, whatever design scheme you prefer. They can provide an outstanding light output with several opportunities for customisation. It’s safe to say that LED strip lights are your best option for bringing your creative vision to life!
Besides that, LEDs are known for their energy-efficient and long-lasting features. Being powered by that technology, you can expect LED strip lights to sufficiently brighten your home for a long time without overcompensating in electrical consumption!
Many are familiar with the single-coloured LED strip. However, did you know that there are other types of strip lights that you can get? Here are some of the most common that you should not miss!
You can find this strip light in a plain white light (cool, warm, or natural white), typically used for illumination or a one-colour strip utilised for branding, décor or other specific purposes. Aside from the single white colour, this type’s most common shades are yellow, blue, green and red.
If you want a strip light that can project multiple colours simultaneously, this type is the one that you should get. A multi-colour LED strip is usually employed for decorative purposes like adding a unique lighting design in your bedroom and gaming room or making signages more attention-grabbing.
Unlike a multi-colour LED strip which can simultaneously produce several colours, an RGB LED strip can only show one at a time. This strip light fuses three LED chips (red, blue, green) in one strip. Each channel is wired individually, enabling you to control them separately using a specialised remote. With this, you can mix the three primary colours to get whatever colour you want! Some remote controls even allow you to set a colour-changing mode to add vibrance to your lighting setup!
Are you planning to use the strip light for a more practical and functional purpose? If so, then a white LED strip light is perfect! You can install it under your kitchen cabinets, wardrobe, or display cabinets to add task lighting for better visibility or ambient lighting for an extra cosy atmosphere!
Knowing the types of strip lights gives you only an overview. You must determine the features that you need to further tailor-fit the LED strips for your requirements. Below are the elements that you have to consider.
How bright do you need the space to be? Depending on the room’s purpose, the brightness level you must incorporate will differ. Also, what will be the use of your strip lights? If it’s for task lighting, you need something bright. However, something less brilliant (but still enough to see) is ideal if it’s for accent or ambient lighting!
Note, when checking the brightness of the LED strip, don’t look at the wattage but find the lumens count. Lumens indicate the level of brilliance, while wattage is the power consumption.
These are the variations of whites an LED strip light can produce. It’s measured by Kkelvin, and the most common selections are cool white, warm white, and natural white. Again, your choice will rest on the purpose of the strip. For ambient lighting, warm white is suitable, and for task lighting, opt for cool white or natural white light!
You can trim LED strip lights to the size you want as long as it’s within the range of the cutting lines. The distance between the cutting lines varies, with some quite near each other and others relatively further apart. So always check the cuttable length before purchasing.
LED strip lights come in different IP ratings (ingress protection). The higher the IP rating, the more protection the strips have. For indoor applications (living room, bedroom, dining room, storage space, etc.), you can use a strip light that’s only IP20 rated. However, if you’re using the LED strip in the bathroom or outdoors, you’ll need to look for a strip with an IP65 rating and up.
Most LED strips operate at 12v DC or 24v DC; therefore, they must be converted to a low-voltage DC signal. Ensure that the power supply you’ll get has enough capacity to power your strips. Otherwise, the power supply and the strip will get damaged.
Not all LED strip lights are dimmable or are compatible with remote control. Therefore, if you want these features, you must look for a strip light that can do them. Also, when purchasing the dimmer or remote control, guarantee that it’s suitable for your strip light. If it’s not, it won’t work, or your strips may not perform as you expect.
Did you know you can integrate your strip lights into your smart system? You can do this by purchasing a smart LED strip light or pairing a regular one with a smart home LED driver!
After knowing the types and identifying the factors when choosing strip lights, here are the consideration that you need to think about before buying.
