Difference Between RGB and RGBIC LED Strip Lights

If you are considering installing RGB LED strip lights, it is essential that you understand the difference between RGB and RGBIC. This article provides an overview of their similarities and distinctions.

RGBIC strip lights feature an independent chip to produce different hues in each segment, making them perfect for use behind wall panels.

RGB Stands for Red Green Blue

RGB is a color system utilizing red, green, and blue as its three primary colors to produce other hues – for instance red combined with blue creates magenta; yellow combined with green creates cyan.

Many LED strip lights use the RGB color model, capable of showing 16 million different hues but incapable of providing true white light. For an accurate rendition, an RGBW strip light with its own white chip may be required instead.

RGBIC strips use integrated circuit, or IC, chips to display multiple colors simultaneously on one strip. While more expensive than RGB strips, RGBIC strips allow for a wider range of lighting effects; you could connect an IC strip to your music player and watch as its lights change color with each song – creating an eye-catching visual when used behind a TV screen!

RGBIC stands for Red Green Blue with Individual Control

If you want multi-color LED strip lights that change colors continuously in sync with music, consider RGBIC LED strips lights. Although more expensive than their standard RGB counterparts, RGBIC strip lights offer many more control options on a chip level and therefore faster color transition times without lights turning off in between hues.

Lumive RGBIC strip lights use their unique Polychrome Technology (also available from Lifx and Philips Hue), an addressable LED lighting solution allowing each individual LED on the strip to display different colors with dynamic effects like chasing.

If your lighting needs are simply task related, regular RGB LED strips work just fine for this task. But if you want to create an ambience in your living area or gaming space with lighting effects that set a mood then an RGBIC strip light may be worth its additional cost.

RGBWW stands for Red Green White with Warm White

RGBIC LED strip lights feature an independent chip which enables you to control individual LED segments on each strip independently, offering more control than regular RGB lights which have only one hue throughout their entirety. In addition, an IC chip can provide color chasing effects which cannot be obtained with regular RGB bulbs.

RGBIC lights offer another distinct advantage over their RGB counterparts: they can display multiple colors simultaneously compared to just one hue per segment in RGB lights, making them great for creating patterns and lighting effects.

RGBWW strip lights feature an extra white channel in addition to red, green, and blue channels allowing you to choose between cool white light to resemble sunlight or warm white for creating cozy ambience – this option gives you plenty of flexibility when selecting an LED strip light for any application. Ginde Star offers RGBWW lights which can be controlled via remote or even your smart phone app!

RGBWW stands for Red Green White with Cold White

RGBW LED strip lights may provide more natural-looking white lighting that mimics natural daylight, thanks to their use of multiple color channels that combine warm and cold white hues for unique lighting effects. They use the same basic principle as their RGB counterparts but add in one channel each for warm white and cold white to allow you to create different kinds of effects with both colors.

RGBW LED strip lights can also be brighter than RGB strips, which may pose problems if used in your bedroom, as their full brightness may interfere with sleep. However, you can dial down their intensity for general use to a more comfortable level.

RGB and RGBIC strip lights are great ways to achieve eye-catching color effects at events and parties, yet are unsuitable for daily lighting due to eye strain. Therefore, when lighting daily activities with these strips it’s wise to select non-disruptive LED strips which don’t shine too brightly.
