RGB Halo Kits LED Type Guide

RGBW vs Flow

  • Choose Flow for the most visual impact, animated lighting, and chasing effects.
  • Choose RGBW for simpler controls, static colors, and cleaner pure-white output.

Animated Behavior, Side by Side

Flow Moves. RGBW Holds Cleaner White.

Flow (LED Type)

Built For Motion And Visual Impact

  • Color ProductionFlow LEDs can produce any color.
  • Dynamic CapabilitiesIntegrated circuits produce 125+ complex flowing patterns and animations.
  • White Light QualityFlow creates white by mixing red, green, and blue, which may not be as pure.
  • CostFlow LEDs are usually more expensive than RGBW LEDs.
  • BrightnessFlow LEDs offer high brightness levels and vibrant, intense colors across the spectrum.
RGBW (LED Type)

Built For Clean Output And Simplicity

  • Color ProductionRGBW LEDs can produce any color and include an additional white LED chip.
  • Dynamic CapabilitiesRGBW is best for static solid colors or simple color changes, with 20+ flash, fade, and strobe modes.
  • White Light QualityThe dedicated white LED chip can produce a pure white light color.
  • CostRGBW LEDs are usually less expensive than Flow.
  • BrightnessRGBW provides excellent brightness, especially for white light, due to the dedicated white LED chip.
