WLED RGBIC COB LED Strip Kit

Rebrand / Genérico · WLED RGBIC COB WS2811 24V

The WETEN WLED RGBIC COB LED Strip Kit is an addressable LED lighting kit designed to create smooth RGBIC effects, ambient lighting, living room decor, bedroom setups, desks, ceilings, furniture, or long-run WLED projects. Unlike a conventional RGB LED strip, this strip uses COB technology with a high LED density, listed by the seller as 720 LEDs per meter. That makes for a more continuous line of light with fewer visible dots, which is especially useful in decorative installations where a uniform look matters. The kit includes an ESP32-based WLED controller, WS2811 RGBIC COB LED strip, power supply, and mounting clips. According to the listing, it comes ready to use and tested before shipping, so you should not need to buy the controller or power supply separately if you choose the correct full kit. The strip runs on 24V DC and uses WS2811 ICs, with 20 ICs per meter. That means not every LED is controlled individually like on a classic WS2812B strip, but rather in defined groups/pixels controlled by the ICs. In return, 24V helps reduce voltage drop on longer runs compared with 5V strips, although for larger lengths it is still important to check power, wiring, current injection, and ventilation. The WLED controller supports 2.4GHz WiFi, not 5GHz WiFi, and allows control from the WLED app or the web interface. It also includes a built-in microphone for Sound Reactive effects and music sync. The seller states compatibility with Alexa and Home Assistant, but clearly warns that it does not work with Google Home. For Home Assistant, this kit should integrate as a WLED device, allowing local control of color, brightness, effects, segments, and automations. It can also be a good fit for users who want to build advanced RGBIC scenes without relying on closed ecosystems. The listing offers kits in several lengths, including 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 meters, and says the controller can handle up to 40 meters of LED strip at most. The 25 and 30 meter versions require two power supplies according to the seller. The strip is not waterproof, so it should be installed only indoors or in protected areas. It is worth noting that WETEN appears to be more of a marketplace/OEM brand than a manufacturer with a fully established proprietary ecosystem. For that reason, it is important to double-check the selected variant, length, plug type, power supply rating, connectors, and seller reviews before buying.
