The RGB PixelPro LED Square Modules are high-performance lighting units that integrate four RGB LEDs with a powerful WS2801 intelligent circuit chip to create stunning animated effects. Each module is equipped with a dedicated IC chip that requires three addresses for full RGB control, enabling precise and independent operation of every square in a string. This advanced pixel-level control allows designers to achieve complex lighting patterns and effects that go far beyond standard RGB systems. After extensive testing of multiple IC chipsets, the WS2801 was selected for its superior performance. It delivers the widest range of colors, faster operation, greater efficiency, and more reliable output than competing solutions, ensuring professional-grade lighting results.
Control of the PixelPro Square Modules is intuitive and highly flexible when paired with the DMX512 Pixel Decoder. The DMX512-PX-2801 acts as a bridge between standard DMX output and the WS2801 serial protocol, making the modules compatible with virtually any DMX controller or light board. This means each square can be individually addressed, allowing designers to generate endless visual possibilities, from scrolling text and rotating graphics to animated logos, chasing patterns, color waves, and rain effects. With four LEDs embedded in each 40 x 40 mm square, these modules produce bright, saturated light output that is especially effective in backlighting, large display boards, and architectural features.
The modules are manufactured in chains of twenty, with input and output connectors at both ends for straightforward linking of multiple strings. They are designed for one-directional operation, with a female input connector and a male output connector, both marked with arrows to ensure proper orientation. The epoxy-encased, aluminum-backed design provides durability and an IP65 rating for water resistance, making them suitable for both indoor and protected outdoor applications. While the modules themselves are waterproof, the SM connectors are not sealed against moisture, and the product loses its waterproof integrity when cut.
Installation is quick and adaptable thanks to the integrated mounting tabs with screw holes on both sides of each module. The modules are connected by 25 cm (approximately 10 inches) of flexible wire, allowing them to be arranged around corners, spread across irregular surfaces, or repositioned to eliminate dark spots. The wiring can be cut and spliced wherever necessary, offering maximum creative flexibility. For longer runs, power injection is recommended at the beginning and end of each string or every twenty modules, which prevents voltage drop and ensures consistent brightness across the entire chain.
Each square module operates on 12V DC and consumes 1.44 watts, with a full 20-module string drawing approximately 28.8 watts. The light is produced by 5050 RGB LED nodes, emitting red, green, and blue wavelengths at 623 nm, 522 nm, and 472 nm respectively. With a 120° beam angle and LED spacing of 21.6 mm, the modules generate uniform, vibrant illumination. Their slim 5.1 mm height makes them easy to integrate into tight spaces, while their long operational life—rated at 50,000 hours—ensures reliable performance in demanding installations. They are RoHS compliant, emit no ultraviolet radiation, and come backed with a limited three-year warranty.
PixelPro LED Square Modules are ideal for a wide variety of creative and commercial lighting applications. They are used in restaurants, casinos, lounges, retail environments, and entertainment centers for decorative and accent lighting. Their ability to create custom patterns and animations makes them perfect for pixel display boards, trade show exhibits, and stage productions. They also serve as functional yet artistic lighting for egress pathways, under cabinets, wine cellars, and architectural models. Beyond architectural and entertainment uses, they are well suited for vehicular accent lighting in limousines, RVs, and cars, as well as marine applications in yachts and cruise ships. Artists and craftspeople also find them valuable for creative projects, thanks to their flexibility, vibrancy, and intelligent control.
Built with premium LEDs and robust materials, the PixelPro LED Square Modules stand apart from commodity products by delivering consistent performance, superior color rendering, and longevity. The combination of advanced WS2801 chip technology, DMX compatibility, waterproof durability, and flexible installation makes them one of the most versatile and powerful RGB lighting solutions available for professional, architectural, decorative, and entertainment projects.
