How To Distinguish Between RGB And RGBW Light Strip?

RGB color model is a color standard in the industry, which obtains a variety of colors through the change of the three color channels of red (R), green (G), and blue (B) and their superposition with each other.

RGB is the color that represents the three channels of red, green and blue, and this standard includes almost all colors that human vision can perceive, and is one of the most widely used color systems. An RGB color value specifies the relative brightness of the three primary colors of red, green, and blue, producing a specific color for display.

RGBW adds a white subpixel to the original RGB three-color composition pixel to form RGBW four-color pixels. The purpose is to improve the effective use of energy by LCD, and adding a white area in the RGB three-color color filter can improve the utilization rate of LCD backlight, increase the display brightness of LCD, and reduce LCD power consumption.

The common point is that they are all RGB light strip, which all need to be controlled by the dimmer. The difference between RGBW and RGB is that RGBW adds white subpixels to RGB to become a four-color pixel design. To understand it simply, RBGW has better light transmission and brighter than RGB. Not only the light strip, but also other products are the same.
