I here that have 12v ws2815 addressable led strip,some one have used that? it is stable?

I here that have 12v ws2815 addressable led strip,not 5v addressable,also,it is breakpoint continue/transmission,It is a new product,i think,some one have used that? it is stable?

I have 32 meters of these LEDs (144led/m). Here are my findings. Only power up to 2 meter lengths if you have 144 led/m. It's stable and very forgiving, haven't been able to break them yet. The 144led/m get very hot and the strip will expand and contract. Also I find that only some controllers work with them. I use the SP105e

GS8208 LED Strip is much stable than ws2815 led strip,they are both 12v addressable led strip,dual signal,breakpoint continue transmission.

Now it is WS2815B and it is stable now,normal less led qty per meter can connect 5M -7M,like 144leds/M only can be 2-3meters for DC12V and DC5V will be less,that it is the biggest advantage of DC12V led strip.

It looks to be a higher voltage version of the 2813 which has been around for a while.

The data format should be exactly the same as any of the WS281x addressable LEDs and so all of the libraries to drive it should work. The only issue you may have is having to buffer the data going to the strip to bring the voltage up to the required levels. Exactly what that voltage is I don't know, the link on the worldsemi website for the datasheet gives you the file for the 2813.

Thanks for your comment. Yeah,it is like higher version if the ws2813,i will look the ws2813 data sheet.maybe i can find the ws2815 data sheet. thanks.

The datasheet should be here http://www.world-semi.com/solution/list-4-1.html#122 but the link just gives you the one for the 2813
