3. Setup Instructions
- Power Supply: Ensure you have a stable DC24V power supply capable of providing sufficient current for your installation. Each pixel consumes 2W, so a string of 20 pixels requires 40W (20 pixels * 2W/pixel). For a 60-pixel string, the maximum current is 5A, and max power is 120W.
- Mounting: The LED pixel modules are designed to be fixed using an aluminum track. A recommended track for 30mm open hole pixel modules, 1m long, can be found at aliexpress.us/item/3256806161402629.html. Securely mount the track to your desired surface (e.g., house eaves).
- Connecting Pixels: Each string consists of 20 pixel lights. The wire spacing between pixels can be 15cm, 20cm, 25cm, 30cm, 40cm, or 50cm depending on the variant.
- Wiring: The lights use 3-core xConnect pigtails. Pay close attention to the pinout for correct connection:
- Brown: 24V +
- Yellow: Data
- Blue: GND (Ground)

4. Operating Instructions
These addressable LED lights require a compatible controller to function. The WS2805 IC allows for individual control of each pixel, enabling complex lighting patterns and color changes. Recommended controllers include APP Bluetooth & WIFI, SD card controllers, or Artnet SPI controllers. You can find suitable controllers at aliexpress.com/store/group/led-controllers/1100403118_256614400.html.
- Connect Controller: Connect your chosen controller to the input end of the first LED string. Ensure the 24V+, Data, and GND lines are correctly matched between the controller and the LED string.
- Power On: Once the controller is connected and programmed, apply DC24V power to the system.
- Programming: Use the controller's software or app to program the desired lighting effects, colors (RGB, warm white, cool white), and brightness. Refer to your controller's specific manual for detailed programming instructions.

5. Maintenance
Due to their IP68 rating, these LED lights are highly durable and require minimal maintenance. However, regular checks can prolong their lifespan and ensure optimal performance:
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the surface of the LED pixels and tracks with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the housing or wiring.
- Connection Check: Inspect all wiring and connectors for any signs of wear, corrosion, or loose connections, especially after severe weather conditions. Ensure waterproof connectors are properly sealed.
- Environmental Factors: While designed for outdoor use, extreme environmental conditions (e.g., prolonged submersion, direct impact) should be avoided to prevent damage.
6. Troubleshooting
- Lights Not Turning On:
- Verify the DC24V power supply is connected and functioning correctly.
- Check all wiring connections (24V+, Data, GND) for proper polarity and secure contact.
- Ensure the controller is powered on and sending a signal.
- Incorrect Colors or Flickering:
- Confirm the data line connection is secure and not interfered with.
- Check the controller's programming to ensure it matches the WS2805 IC type and the number of pixels.
- Inspect for any damaged pixels; a faulty pixel can sometimes affect subsequent pixels in the string.
- Individual Pixel Failure:
- If a single pixel is not lighting up or displaying incorrect colors, it may be faulty. Depending on the setup, individual pixels might be replaceable. Consult the seller for replacement options.
7. User Tips
- Total String Length: For a string of 20 pixels, the total length will depend on the wire spacing. For example, with 15cm spacing, the total length between the first and last pixel is approximately 285cm (19 segments * 15cm/segment).
- Controller Compatibility: Always ensure your chosen LED controller is compatible with WS2805 ICs for optimal performance and full functionality of RGBIC+CCT features.
- Outdoor Durability: The IP68 rating means these lights are fully protected against dust and can withstand immersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. This makes them highly suitable for permanent outdoor installations in various weather conditions.
