COB RGB WS2812B LED Strip 5V 1m - Waveshare 34160

Description

The Waveshare RGB-27-5V-160D-1M programmable COB RGB LED strip measures 1 m in length and uses Chip On Board (COB) technology to provide uniform light diffusion across the entire illuminated surface. A density of 160 LEDs per meter and a 180° beam angle produce a continuous line of light without clearly visible individual light points. The strip operates at 5 V and consumes a maximum of approximately 12 W per meter. Its 2.7 mm width allows installation in narrow profiles, furniture gaps, display cabinets, and computer cases.

WS2812B-compatible control chips enable programming of colors and lighting effects through a single-wire data interface. Each segment supports three RGB channels with 256 brightness levels per channel, allowing smooth color transitions and animations. According to the manufacturer's documentation, each meter of the strip contains 12 independently controlled segments measuring approximately 83.3 mm each. Control requires an external controller generating a signal compatible with the WS2812B protocol. The strip is suitable for decorative lighting installations, microcontroller-based electronics projects, and illuminating computer workstations and interior furnishings.

The flexible design with an adhesive backing allows the strip to conform to the shape of a surface and be cut at designated points every 12.5 mm. The 1 m version features a male SM 3PIN input connector and a female SM 3PIN output connector, allowing additional sections to be connected. The red wire provides +5 V power, the white or black wire is the GND connection, and the green wire carries the data signal. Maximum current consumption is approximately 2.4 A at 5 V, so the power supply should provide sufficient power reserve. The IP20 protection rating makes the strip suitable for use in dry indoor environments. Detailed connection and control information is available in the Waveshare technical documentation.
