The actual string I have is three wires. Data and + - it’s likely they have been swapped out for cheaper lesds now, or the picture is wrong.

- willcooke 3y agoI looked at the picture again, it does show a three wire set up.
- MarkusWandel 3y agoThe WS2815 (12V version) actually is a 4 wire setup. It has a "backup data wire" that allows a single failed LED unit to be bypassed. http://www.normandled.com/upload/201808/WS2815%20LED%20Datasheet.pdf http://www.normandled.com/upload/201808/WS2815%20LED%20Datas...
- bloggie 3y agoThere are individually addressable leds that have their ‘address’ burned into them and use a ws2812-style protocol, it could be that. There will only be one continuous data wire, which is cheaper to assemble and resistant to single LED failures.
