|---|---|
| Board width | 12mm |
| Channels | RGB plus one fixed white |
| White options | 2700K, 3000K, 4000K or 6500K |
| Colour rendering | Ra90 |
| Voltage | 12V DC or 24V DC |
- Choose the white before you order - this is the one decision you cannot change later. 2700K or 3000K for living spaces, 4000K for kitchens and workspaces, 6500K for display cases and garages.
- Pick for everyday use, not the colour effect - the white chip does most of the work in most installs.
- Buy a four channel controller - an RGB controller has three outputs and will leave the white chip dark.
- Pick the voltage by run length - 12V under about 16 feet, 24V beyond that.
- Fit it in a wide channel - the 12mm board needs a channel to match.
- Size the driver - watts per metre times run length, plus 20 percent.
- Test both modes before closing up - run the colours and the white separately across the full length.
A real white chip alongside the colour
RGBW puts a fourth emitter on the board: a dedicated white LED running beside the red, green and blue. When you want white, the white chip does it. When you want colour, the other three do it. Neither has to pretend to be the other.
That is the difference from plain RGB, where white is a mix and always slightly off. It is also different from RGB+CCT, which carries two white chips and lets you tune between warm and cool. Here you choose the white once, at the point of order.

Which colour tape to buy
| Tape | White | Choose it when |
|---|---|---|
| RGB | Mixed, inaccurate | Effects only, white not needed |
| RGBW | One fixed temperature, accurate | You know which white you want |
| RGB+CCT | Tunable warm to cool | The white needs to change too |
Picking the white before you order
This is the one decision you cannot change later. 2700K and 3000K for living rooms, bedrooms and hospitality. 4000K for kitchens and workspaces. 6500K only where you want daylight-neutral light, such as a display case or a garage. Choose for how the run will be used most of the time, not for the occasional colour effect.
Four channels means a four channel controller
An RGB controller has three outputs and will leave the white chip dark. Check the controller handles RGBW before you order either.
