Addressable RGB LED strips based on the SK6812 driver use a single‑wire protocol that lets each LED be set to any colour independently. They operate at 5 V, making them easy to power from common microcontroller boards and compatible with standard level‑shifting circuits. Strip lengths vary from a few centimetres to several metres, and LED density ranges from sparse (30 LEDs per metre) to high‑density layouts (up to 72 LEDs per half‑metre), giving flexibility for both subtle accents and vivid, full‑colour displays. The integrated control chip provides reliable timing, while the thin, flexible substrate simplifies mounting on curved or flat surfaces. These attributes support projects such as visual feedback panels, ambient lighting, and custom illumination effects where precise colour sequencing is required.
