| Colour | RGB |
- Buy a matching addressable controller - an ordinary RGB controller will not drive this. The controller has to speak the same protocol.
- Programme the run length - addressable controllers usually need to know how many sections they are addressing. Do this before the run is closed up.
- Pick the voltage - 12V for short runs, 24V for longer ones where voltage drop would show.
- Do not use it for room lighting - the white it produces is a mix, not a true white. Use single CCT tape for everyday light.
- Fit it in an aluminium channel - the 10mm board needs a channel to match, and the channel pulls heat away.
- Size the driver - watts per metre times run length, plus 20 percent.
- Test the effects before closing up - run a chase across the full length to check every section responds.
Every LED controlled on its own
Standard RGB tape changes colour as one piece. Set it to blue and the whole run goes blue. Addressable tape does not work that way: a controller chip lets each section along the strip take its own colour and brightness, so the run can hold several colours at once or move a colour along its length.
That is what makes chases, gradients and reactive effects possible. It is also why this is a different product to ordinary RGB, not a brighter version of it.

| Controller | Must be an addressable type | Any RGB controller |
| Set-up | Needs configuring | Plug in and go |
The controller is not optional or interchangeable
An ordinary RGB controller will not drive this. Addressable tape needs a controller that speaks the same protocol, and it usually needs the run length programmed into it so it knows how many sections it is addressing. Order both together and check they match.
COB makes the effects work
On ordinary addressable tape you can see the individual chips, so a gradient shows as steps. At 720 COB LEDs per metre the diodes sit under a continuous phosphor layer, and a colour transition reads as a smooth sweep rather than a row of dots changing one by one.
Where it belongs
- Media rooms and bars where the lighting is part of the experience.
- Retail displays that need to draw the eye.
- Gaming and studio setups with reactive lighting.
- Feature walls and staircases where a colour moves along the run.
Not for general room lighting. Addressable tape is an effect, and the white it produces is a mix rather than a true white.
