Multicolor HD Lightstrips

Here are some key differences:

Matter Smart Multicolor HD Lightstrip:
- Connects via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or Matter over Wi-Fi
- RGBIC Addressable–can display multiple colours at the same time along the strip
- Only comes in 5m and is non-expandable (but is trimmable!)
- High density, high definition (60 LEDs/individual colour zones per metre)

Matter Smart Lightstrip
- Connects via Thread, Bluetooth or Matter over Thread
- RGBW–can only display one colour at a time along the entire strip
- Comes in 2m and 5m and is expandable up to 10m via 1m Extensions
- 21 LEDs per metre with a single colour zone along the full length

This Lightstrip can show a single static colour and/or multiple colours at once for dynamic motion effects and gradients. You can also choose from a full range of white lighting temperatures, for cool and warm white.
The high resolution of colour zones allow for every single LED on the Lightstrip to show a different colour at the same time for unique effects and gradients that blend smoothly.

You can trim this Lightstrip to a shorter length along any of the indicated cut lines so that it better suits your needs. But keep in mind that any portion of the Lightstrip that is trimmed off cannot be reattached. This Lightstrip is non-extendable, so you cannot connect additional pieces to extend the length.

It means that this Lightstrip is capable of showcasing multiple colours along the strip at the same time.
A more technical term for this is "Addressable", meaning that each "colour zone" (or every single LED, in the case of this HD Lightstrip) can be addressed to display colours independently at the same time, creating unique multicoloured effects.

No, while both Lightstrips are addressable (you can display multiple colours on them at once), they are not interchangeable. If you need a replacement Lightstrip for your Nanoleaf 4D, please get in touch with our support team.
