RGBW LED Strip Lights

Differences Between RGBW LED Strips and Traditional RGB LED Strips

1. Additional White Light Channel
RGBW LED strips add a dedicated white light channel to the traditional RGB (red, green, blue) design. This enables them to produce pure, natural white light, unlike traditional RGB LED strips. The independent white LEDs in RGBW strips allow them to provide vibrant, colorful lighting while also delivering clean and natural white light. This white light is softer and more suitable for general lighting and ambiance creation.

2. Enhanced Color Performance
With the addition of the white light channel, RGBW LED strips offer superior color performance, delivering more realistic and diverse lighting options. They are ideal for scenarios that require high-quality light sources, such as photography, commercial displays, and home decor.

3. Flexible Application Scenarios
While RGB LED strips are primarily used for decorative lighting, such as party effects or entertainment environments, RGBW LED strips can fulfill both decorative and primary lighting needs. They are suitable for spaces like living rooms, kitchens, and bedrooms.

4. Different Controllers and Accessories Requirements
RGBW LED strips require specialized RGBW controllers to manage all colors and adjustments. In contrast, traditional RGB LED controllers cannot support independent white light adjustment.

5. Differences in Suitable Environments
Due to the independent white light channel, RGBW LED strips are better suited for environments requiring high color rendering and light quality, such as offices, storefront displays, or exhibitions. Traditional RGB LED strips are more appropriate for entertainment and decorative purposes, like party lighting or bar decor.

6. Color Temperature Control
RGBW LED strips can offer a wide range of color temperatures, from warm white (2700K) to cool white (6500K), making them adaptable to different lighting needs. Traditional RGB LED strips lack the ability to achieve precise color temperature adjustments.

7. Luminous Brightness
With the addition of the white light channel, RGBW LED strips generally offer higher brightness than RGB LED strips. This is particularly evident when white light is needed, where RGBW strips outperform RGB strips significantly.

8. Different Design Structure
RGBW LED strips have a more complex design, with each LED typically containing four light-emitting chips (red, green, blue, and white). In contrast, RGB LED strips usually have three chips (red, green, and blue), making RGBW strips more intricate to manufacture.

9. Dimming Effects
RGBW LED strips support smoother dimming effects, with the white light channel allowing for independent brightness adjustments. In comparison, RGB LED strips rely on the combination of three color LEDs for dimming, which can result in less precise control.

10. Advanced Smart Control Features
RGBW LED strips are often compatible with more advanced smart control systems, including WiFi, Bluetooth, and smart home platforms such as Google Home or Amazon Alexa. This allows for more flexible and convenient control options.

11. DIY Design Flexibility
RGBW LED strips are better suited for complex lighting designs, such as embedded linear lighting or commercial signage. Meanwhile, RGB LED strips are more appropriate for simple color-changing or decorative purposes.

12. Superior Color Rendering
The white light provided by RGBW LED strips offers stronger color rendering capabilities. For example, when showcasing products, RGBW strips can more accurately represent the true colors of the items. In contrast, the mixed white light from RGB LED strips may appear slightly blue or green, affecting color accuracy.

RGBW LED strips have numerous advantages over traditional RGB strips in terms of functionality, application scenarios, lighting performance, and smart control features. As a result, they are widely used in high-end lighting designs.

Different Types of RGBW LED Strip Lights

1. Regular RGBW LED strip light

The regular model has 60 pieces 4-in-1 RGB + White LEDs per meter, which is a basic model. To achieve dotless effect with this model, the light strip needs to use a high aluminum channel profile. The height of the aluminum channel must be higher than 20 mm (0.79 inches), such as model M20, M21, M23, MR23, M25, etc.

2. High density RGB + White LED Strip

The high-density version is built with an LED density of 84 LEDs per meter. This model is brighter than the 60 LEDs/m model. The higher density of LED nodes allows it to better match with lower aluminum channels, reducing light spots and making the light effect more perfect. If using this mode RGBW LED strip to achieve dotless effect, the height of the aluminum profile must be higher than 14.5mm, such as models S15, M16, MR20, M21, M25, C30, etc.

3. Ultra high brightness RGBW LED strip

We have designed a unique ultra highly bright RGB + white LED light strip that features a row of high density RGB LEDs in between of double rows of high density white LEDs. The RGB LED density is 120 LEDs/meter, the white LED density is 280 LEDS/meter.

This highly bright RGB white LED strip is able to meet high brightness needs for both colored and pure white light. The brightness of pure white light reaches more than 2400 lumens per meter, which is brighter than many types of LED tube lights. It can not only set off atmosphere, but also work as major lighting. You have a different enjoyment for 365 days.

With ultra high density of LEDs, it is very easy to achieve spotless lighting using LED aluminum profiles. The minimum height of the aluminum profile for dotless lighting is only 12 mm or 0.47 inch, such as M16, W16, M21, M25, C30, etc.

In addition, this is the most cost-effective LED strip light. Literally, one such LED strip equals to three high density LED light strips (one RGB LED strip and two white LED strips).

4. Waterproof RGBW LED Strips

Optionally, choose to use together with LED strip channels to achieve better light diffusion and aesthetic looking. The LED channels also provide better heat dissipation and protect the LED strips from dust, UV, accidental water splashes and impact, etc.
