Hi everyone…
I refound these today… And don’t know what they are and how to use them.
Confusing looking at strip no earth?
Anyway to keep it simple… Can wled use these and of course idiot guide?..
Are these addressable? Can’t remember how I got them
Respect in advance.
Those are regular dumb analog LEDs. not addressable. All will do the same thing.
I suspected that in the back of my head.
Can be used with wled? Have a few 8266 laying about…
Would like to use them…
See nonaddressable LEDs here: Compatible LED strips - WLED Project
Thanks for that my friend. I did find that article… But couldn’t see anything to identify the strip type or anything with that many wires and or a way to use this type, of course with wled.
The strip type is a non-addressable LED strip, basically a strip where you apply power and it simply lights up all LEDs at once. You can control them using the circuit described in the link.
Hello.
I seem to be missing something.
I understand that many see “dumb” led strips beneath them and possibly this forum favouring addressable.
But led lives matter.
You keep just pointing to the forest and saying your leaf is in there.
I’m specifically asking
A what type these are… If the have a perticular strip name type.
And if these could be used or operated by wled…
Neither as I see it… Is in or on that page.
I connot as I said before find any thing similar to what I have. Wire count.
Appreciate you attention but I’m afraid you Are not understanding what I thought was a simple appeal…
Thanks all that same.
it looks like some 5V RGBCCT Led Strip like this one

Hey my friend.
Absolute star.
The exact thing!!
Thank YOU for taking the time to do that.
Now I know the type I can try to be more refined in the next bit with how if at all wled can control them.
As I’ve Said before I have a few d1 minis and want to put them to use in the wled “Ecosystem”. Nothing flash… (no pun intended) just integrated…
Well, this is an RGBCCT 5V Stripe. 5050 RGB LED and 2x 3528 LEDs for white and warmwhite. You will need an Controller with 5x logic level MOSFET - each per cannel.
But 5V isn’t efficency. Much current and much losses in resistors. 
white and blue LEDs have maximum 3V Uf - 2V will heat the resistors.
And voltage losses in +5V mainline will result in different lightcolors in a long LED stripe with source an one end only.
12 or better 24V Stripes have more efficincy. On 5V stripe you have one LED per row, 12V version 3 LEDs per row and 24V 6 or 7 LEDs p. row. This will result in significant lower current. 5V migt be better for addresable LEDs - you can drive each LED separate. 12V groups of 3 and so soon.
But thumb analog LEDs you can’t adress - no plus for you 
And color mixing by withe or color and white shows ugly, cause the distance between LED chips is extreme 
As has been said over and over: They are Analog LED strips. They are not digital addressable LEDs.
This is a direct link to the ‘Analog’ info for WLED (this link is farther down the page vs the link that was provided above): Compatible LED strips - WLED Project
To drive them you need to use mosfets (as described/shown in the link). All LEDs in the strip will do the same color. If you set Red: The whole strip is Red. If you want Blue the whole strip is blue… and so on. The examples in the KB only show RGB. RGB-CCT would be the same but with 2 more mosfets. One for each white channel.
If you want to know more about analog (dumb LEDs) look here: Analog LED dimming - quinled.info
Hello. Thank you jinks
I’m aware of the “un-capabilities” of this type of strip. Have many… And have many addressable strips. Ws2812 ws2811 ws2815 etc.
It was just a question
“many times”? Came across passive aggressive mate.
But thanks.
I’ll leave it there.
