WS2815 Smart RGB LED Strip
Individually addressable. Brilliantly bright. Built to last.
The Lux Electra WS2815 is a professional-grade addressable RGB LED strip designed for creators, makers, and homeowners who demand more than basic lighting. Each of the 300 LEDs on this 5-meter reel can be individually controlled — meaning you can run smooth rainbow chases, reactive music effects, ambient color fades, and custom pixel animations that standard RGB strips simply cannot do.
Running on safe 12V DC power (unlike 5V alternatives that suffer from voltage drop), the WS2815 maintains consistent brightness across the full 5-meter length. Its dual-signal redundancy means that even if one LED is damaged, the rest of the strip continues to work — no dead zones, no broken chains.

🛠️ Quick Installation Tips
- Clean the surface with isopropyl alcohol before applying the adhesive backing.
- Use a 12V power supply rated at 10A (120W) or higher for full brightness on the entire 5m reel.
- Connect data wire from your controller to the DI (Data In) end of the strip — follow the arrow direction printed on the PCB.
- For runs over 3 meters, inject power at both ends for the most even brightness.
- Cut only on the marked cut lines (between each LED, every 16.7mm).
- Avoid sharp bends — use corner connectors or solder joints for 90° turns.
