Brief introduction of WS2813 and WS2815

WS2813 LED strip:

The WS2813 strip light is an updated version of the WS2812B, similar to how the WS2812B is an improved version of the WS2811, but with break continue function , while one IC is broken, the signal can still pass through.144LED WS2813 LED Strip Datasheet.pdf

WS2815 LED strip:

WS2815 digital light strips is an intelligent control LED light source that the control circuit and RGB chip are integrated into a package of 5050 components. Its internal includes intelligent digital port data latch and signal reshaping amplification drive circuit. Dual-signal wires version, signal break-point continuous transmission. Any pixel’s failure won't affect signal transfer and total emitting effect. WS2815 RGB LED strip datasheet-Suntech.pdf

What is the difference between WS2813 and WS2815 strip light?

Voltage difference

The WS2815 strip light is DC12v input instead of DC5v input, it is the main difference. You may ask why designed like this ? since with 12v input , the WS2815 LED strip can run longer than WS2812B strip light because of less voltage drop.

Please see table below, so you can see clearly the differences and comparison between WS2813 and WS2815 pixel strip light. We choose both 60pixels per meter programmable strip light as examples to compare.

Advantage of WS2813 and WS2815 LED strip

In addition to no voltage drop, ws2813 and ws2815 both have many advantages, like dual-signal, break-continues, Built-in IC and so on. Next, let us focus on their common advantages.

Dual-signal, break-continues:

It adopts the scheme of cross-transmission of double signal lines. After one signal is interrupted, the other spare signal line can bypass the fault point and transmit the signal to the next pixel point. In this way, it can be realized that when one lamp bead does not light up on a strip of lights, the other lamp beads can emit light normally. will not affect the overall effect.

Break-continues

Built-in IC: 

WS2815 LED strip is Similar to the 5V WS2813 LED light strips with one data cable and one backup data cable. Signal break-continuous transmission. If one LED is break, the other LEDs can still work well. That means one IC controls one led chip and adopts one-to-one mode. Even if one IC has a problem, it will only affect one LED chip, and other led chip will not being affect. You can control it individually and set them to any color, since each LED chip can have its own color or brightness.

WS2815 advantages


Different IP Grade:

Depending on the humidity of the application scenario, WS2813 and WS2815 LED strips can generally be divided into several waterproof grades. The most commonly used ones are IP20, IP54 and IP67. Learn more about the waterproof level of light strips: waterproof level definition

Frequently Asked Questions

 1. How does the reset time of the WS2813 compare to that of the WS2815?

    Reset time of ws2813 is 250us, and ws2815 is 250us, nabling the WS2813 LED to work better at lower frequencies and less expensive microcontrollers.


 2. Can the same controller be used for both WS2813 and WS2815?

      Yes,Both WS2812B and WS2813 can use the same controller.


 3.  How do the prices of WS2813 and WS2815 LEDs compare?

      WS2815 is more expensive than ws2813, but only a little more.


 4.  Will the power supply to a WS2813 strip be different from a WS2815 strip?

       Yes, WS2813 is DC5V and need DC5V power supply, WS2815 is DC12V and need power with DC12V driver.


 5. How is the frequency of the WS2815 different from that of the WS2813?

     The frequency of ws2813 and ws2815 are bothe 2KHz.


 6.  How does WS2813 and WS2815 LED Work?

    They all use the single-line return-to-zero code communication method. After the pixel is powered on and reset, the DIN terminal receives the data transmitted from the controller. The 24bit data sent first is extracted by the first pixel and sent to the internal pixel of the pixel. Data latch, the remaining data is shaped and amplified by the internal shaping processing circuit and then forwarded and output to the next cascaded pixel point through the Do port. After the transmission of one pixel point, the signal is reduced by 24 bits. The pixel adopts automatic shaping and forwarding technology, so that the cascaded number of the pixel is not limited by signal transmission, but only limited by the signal transmission speed requirement.
