How It Started

When Twan from the Netherlands reached out about a custom lighting project, the concept was ambitious: he wanted to build a large-scale circular LED display using addressable strips.

The requirement was straightforward but demanding:

  • High-density addressable pixels for smooth, flowing effects

  • Flexible strips that could follow the circular form precisely

  • Reliable performance across multiple rings

Twan chose our SK6812 12V digital flexible LED strip — 1 meter, 60 LEDs per meter, in 2-meter lengths per circle.

Why This Product Worked for the Project

Feature

Benefit

60 LEDs/m density

Smooth, detailed light effects with no visible gaps

DC12V operation

Reduced voltage drop compared to 5V systems

Addressable pixels

Individual control for complex animations

Flexible PCB

Easily shaped into circular rings


The Project: Multiple Circles, Dynamic Effects

The installation featured multiple circular rings — each built with a 2-meter SK6812 12V strip — arranged to create a striking, layered display.

The addressable control allowed:

  • Dynamic color effects — flowing, chasing, and gradient patterns

  • Synchronized animations across the rings

  • Vibrant RGB color mixing for maximum visual impact

The result was a display that drew attention and demonstrated the potential of addressable LED technology in creative installations.
