DreamColor - RGB Color-Changing Flexible LED Strip Lights

Color-Changing LED Strip Lights

Our LED color-changing strip lights provide advanced flexibility and customization options for your lighting needs. You can adjust the strips to be a range of colors, setting on one color at a time. The exact colors available will be based on the strip type. 

What Are the Different Types of Color-Changing LED Light Strips?

There are four different types of LED color-changing strip lights. These include RGB, RGBW, RGB+Tunable White, and Addressable RGB. The differences between each are listed below. 

How Do LED Lights Change Color?

These strip lights change color by using specific LED chips. Unlike single-color strips, where the chips are designed to remain set on a single color, the RGB chips switch between red, green, and blue color options. There are separate chips that will produce the white color for RGB+White or RGB+Tunable White strips. The RGB and white chips will alternate on the strip, with an RGB chip followed by a white chip, then an RGB chip, and so on.

However, the exemption for this is our COB RGB strip lights. Instead of containing multiple LED chips, these strips use chip-on-board (COB) technology, where the LEDs are directly printed onto the strip light. This creates a single, continuous line of color without any hot spots. 

Depending on the type of strip you choose, our LED color-changing lights can remain static, rotate through a range of colors, coordinate with music, among many other modes. The controller and strip lights you choose will dictate which effects are available.

What Controller Do I Need?

You have various options when it comes to controllers. You can opt for a handheld (RF remote) or a channel receiver. If you want the flexibility to simply control your phone or tablet using an app, choose one of our smart, compatible controllers that operate with either Bluetooth or WiFi connections. Certain controls can also connect to smart home ecosystems such as Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant. 

The controller you should use will also depend on the capabilities of the strip light. RGB controllers will control different functions than an RGB+Tunable White controller.
