You can set the power level from %0 to %100 over your transmitter. It acts as a standard servo and the left position of the servo is %0 (OFF), Right position is %100 power.

So, If the voltage or current is not enough, LEDs are fails to transmission. Low voltage also locks the microcontroller sometimes. Just try with a single stripe or be sure about current and voltage in range (5v 1A) \u003cbr\u003e   \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2- High voltage:\u003c\/strong\u003e LED control electronics are burns if the supply reaches 6v for a very short time. If your supply voltage is near to limits, sometimes some LEDs fails but others survive. This problem appears as a failing stripe after a failed LED. For example; if LED#3 fails, The stripe fails between #3-#10. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3- Vibration:\u003c\/strong\u003e If you are using unbalanced props with a multi-copter, and the stripes are connected to the arms or after a crash, you may notify LED fails. High gain vibrations are breaks the golden wires between the internal IC of WS29812B and RGB silicons. This problem appears as Color fails for unique LEDs. For example, if the RED colour wire is broken, you will see only Blue and Green on the LED. To be sure about the problem, just press your finger over the transparent window of the LED. Most of the time this connects the broken wire for a while and you can see the right colour.\u003cbr\u003e   \u003cbr\u003eProblem 1 is temporary and you can resolve it easily. But #2 and #3 is permanent fails and you should replace the stripe with a new one or remove the failed LED and add a bridge between Data IN and Data OUT as a jumper.\u003cbr\u003e      \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYou can order Strobon NEO compatible LED Stripes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e from here\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"%5C\"\u003ehttp:\/\/www.flytron.com\/12-rc-light-systems \u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e       \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe height=\"315\" width=\"560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5mJffreoQls?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e :\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e   \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Supply Voltage\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e  5 volts from servo channel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Operating Temperature\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e  -40 to +105 °C\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Current Consumption\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e  50mA - 1A depends pattern and power level\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Dimensions( L X W X H)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e  24.3mm X 9.2mm X 4mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Weight\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e  5 gram \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e   \u003cbr\u003e   \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequently Question:\u003c\/strong\u003e How many LEDs can it drive?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnswer:\u003c\/strong\u003e It was designed to drive 10pcs of LEDs over each control channel and have 4 channels\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Flytron","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32074573021315,"sku":"STRO-NEO-RGB-LED-STRI-CONT","price":9.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0333\/9219\/7763\/products\/1071.jpg?v=1581376911","url":"https:\/\/flytron.com\/products\/strobon-neo-rgb-led-strip-controller-for-rc","provider":"Flytron","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
