<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nRGBCCT(5 chips in 1 leds) consists of RGB and CCT. CCT has two chips as variables, which means that the color temperature of the led strip can be adjusted, between warm white light and white light. It is also considered an upgrade from RGBW, and the color temperature adjustment allows switching between these two temperatures according to one’s own needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If your project requires regular adjustments between cool white, white, and warm white, the RGB CCT LED strip is an ideal choice. However, it’s more expensive than RGB and RGBW LED strips, but certainly offers more options when it comes to color adjustments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But RGBW and RGBCCT will provide more choices to better meet your lighting needs. When you choose a colorful light bar, please refer to the following points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Budget<\/h3>\n\n\n\n Regarding the price, RGB led strip is the least expensive of the trio of RGB, RGBW, and RGBCCT. In addition, it also has a full range of color combination capabilities. Therefore, RGB led strip is the best choice when considering the price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
White<\/h3>\n\n\n\n If you need pure white, RGBW led strip is perfect. Which W can be warm white or white, you can choose the color temperature according to your needs. The price is not too expensive, between RGB and RGBCCT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tunable<\/h3>\n\n\n\n Do you need white color or not? you can choose RGB-CCT LED strips. It has an adjustable white color scheme as well as red, green and blue. Offers 16 million RGB color variations and three RGBW options; RGBW, RGBWW and RGBCW in one LED. It may cost more, but offers the most comprehensive range of color theme options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Function<\/h3>\n\n\n\n You still have to choose the right product according to your project. If your project only needs to be colourful, and the requirements for white light are not high, you can actually choose RGB led strip, which not only meets your project but also saves you the cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How to Connect an LED Strip to a Power Supply?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n When connecting an LED strip to a power supply, the following points must be kept in mind<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nBefore choosing the power supply, we estimate the total power used by the led strip, and accessories to ensure that the power of the LED power supply is greater than the total power of the led strip and accessories.<\/li>\n\n\n\n When choosing a led strip, you need to figure out whether you need a 12VDC or 24VDC led strip. At the same time, it is also necessary to select a power supply of the corresponding voltage.<\/li>\n\n\n\n Then connect the positive and negative poles of the LED strip to the power supply.<\/li>\n\n\n\n Connect the other end of the power adapter to the power plug.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\nHow to Choose RGB, RGBW, RGBIC, RGBWW, and RGB-CCT LED Strip Controllers?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n Generally speaking, RGB vs. RGBW vs. RGBIC vs. RGBCCT LED Strip Lights must be matched with LED controllers. Only with the controller connected, you can freely control the color of the light bar according to your own ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Most controllers are compatible with RGB, RGBW, and RGB-CCT LED strips and can be used interchangeably. When choosing an LED controller, keep in mind the purpose of the LED strip, not the LED driver or any other complex technical details. The different types of LED controllers available in the market are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
RF LED controller IR LED controller Tunable white LED controller DMX 512 controller DALI RGB controller0-10V LED controller<\/a> Programmable RGB LED controller Bluetooth LED controller Wi-Fi LED controller<\/p>\n\n\n\nConclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n Each colorful led strip light has its own characteristics, you need to choose according to your personal needs. In fact, RGB light strips are currently the most popular, and there are many models to choose from, and the cost is also low.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In short, if it is just simple colorful lighting, RGB light strips are enough. But if there are special projects or high-end lighting engineering requirements, you can choose according to their characteristics. Anyway, colorful light strips are always popular, our company has many models of colorful led strips for you to choose from, please let me know if any interests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
FAQs<\/h2>\n\n\n\nIs RGBW or RGB Good?<\/strong> If you just need colorful led strips and don’t care about the purity of white light, then RGB light strips are fine. But if you have special requirements, then RGBW will be better.<\/p> <\/div>
What is W of RGBW led strip?<\/strong> (RGB White) is uses four subpixels (red, green, blue, and white).<\/p> <\/div>
Can RGBW do warm white or White?<\/strong> Yes, W can be warm white or white as your need.<\/p> <\/div>
Is RGBW brighter than RGB?<\/strong> RGBW four-color pixel is an upgraded version of RGB. Therefore, RGBW is definitely brighter than RGB, with higher light transmittance and less power consumption.<\/p> <\/div>
Is RGBW Full Spectrum?<\/strong> RGBW LED strips contain red, green, blue, and white LED chips to create full spectrum colors for creative lighting effects.<\/p> <\/div>
Can you cut RGBW LED strips?<\/strong> Yes, according to the specific cutting mark, you can also customize the length of the led strip and cut it yourself.<\/p> <\/div>
Does the RGB controller use RGBW?<\/strong> It can be connected and used under the premise of sufficient power. But there is no way to control some lights, so the RGBW led strip is best matched with an RGBW controller.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
