Is RGBW better than RGB?

  With the growing popularity of LED strip lights, color changing LED light strips are favored by many due to their versatility and creativity.

If all you're after are basic RGB colours with no requirement for a proper white then basic RGB LED strip is generally more cost effective, however if you do need white (for example for task lighting) then RGB+W is a better bet.


  Unlike single color chips, RGB chips contain three color channels, and the three letters of RGB stand for red, green, and blue, meaning that a single RGB LED can produce multiple colors. In LED lighting, RGB stands for color change, and by controlling the brightness and mixing ratio of these three primary colors, various colors can be emitted.

What's the difference between RGB and RGBW? 

  The biggest difference between RGB and RGBW lights is the degree of color mixing and the purity of white light. RGBW LED strips have a greater ability to mix colors than RGB strips.


  RGBW LED strip has a pure warm white or natural white or cool white light, while RGB can only create a bluish-white light by opening all color channels (R, G, and B).

RGBW VS RGBWW

  You can see that RGBWW (RGB+W+W) has one more W (White) than RGBW, and the difference between them is the richness of the white light.


  RGBWW has two white lights, usually one is warm white and one is daylight white, allowing you to adjust the light color temperature freely. While RGBW has only one white color temperature, you can only choose one between warm white, natural white, and daylight.


  In LED strip lighting, RGBWW = RGBCW = RGBCCT since only the option of RGB plus warm white plus daylight white exists. RGBW contains RGBCW, RGBWW, and RGBNW. RGBIC=ARGB=DRGB.
