RGB Pixels and Accessories

RGB pixel lighting puts individual control of every light in your hands. The Christmas Light Emporium carries individually addressable RGB pixel strings, controllers, power supplies, and accessories for custom light show installations — from enthusiast roofline displays to professional commercial builds. See the broader RGB Christmas lights collection for more options.

What's In This Collection

Individually addressable RGB pixel strings with WS2811 or compatible LED chips. Compatible controllers for programming sequences, chases, and synchronized scenes. Power injection supplies for long pixel runs. Extension cables and connectors. Software-compatible with popular platforms including xLights, Vixen, and others.

How to Choose

Start with your power budget and run length. RGB pixels draw more power per foot than standard LED strings — plan for power injection on runs longer than 50 feet. Choose your controller based on the software platform you plan to use: most enthusiasts start with a dedicated sequencing platform like xLights. If you want app-based control without custom programming, a Twinkly system is a better starting point than raw pixels.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an individually addressable RGB pixel?

An individually addressable pixel contains a built-in controller chip (typically WS2811) that allows each LED node to receive its own color and brightness command independently. This is what enables custom animations, chase sequences, and synchronized light shows.

What controller do I need for RGB pixels?

Most RGB pixel setups use a dedicated show controller (such as Falcon, HinksPix, or similar) paired with sequencing software like xLights. The controller receives your sequence data and outputs it to the pixel strings. For simpler setups, many standalone pixel controllers with built-in pattern libraries are also available.

How do I power a large pixel installation?

RGB pixels require 5V or 12V DC power depending on the pixel type. Long runs require power injection — adding power supply connections at intervals along the run rather than only at the start. A general rule is to inject power every 50–100 pixels for 5V systems.

Can I use RGB pixels outdoors?

Yes. All pixel strings and accessories in this collection are rated for outdoor use. Seal all electrical connections and use weatherproof enclosures for controllers and power supplies in outdoor installations.

Are RGB pixels dimmable?

Pixel brightness is controlled digitally through the controller and software — not through a wall dimmer. Do not use standard dimmer switches with pixel strings.
