Hi!
I have read in the threads that APA102 is highly recommend because the colours are very good. And some users have reported that RGBW LED stripes are very good.
(the colours of my WS2801 are very poor indeed!)
Both use the 5050 LED but RGBW has the additional white LED. But the APA102 has a 4-Wire/clocked/synchronous chip and the SK6812 has a 3-Wire/nonclocked/asynchronous chip.
So, what are the best LED stripes in 2021? Which kind should be used?
