Magic lantern strip and RGB light strip are both a kind of LED strip, and their differences lie in the way of color change and control.

Color change mode:

RGB light strip can realize color change by controlling the brightness change of three colors, that is, by adjusting the brightness ratio of red, green and blue to present different colors. This color change method is relatively simple, and usually only static colors and simple color changes can be presented.

The magic lantern belt adopts a more complicated color change mode. By controlling the color and brightness of each LED bead, more colorful effects can be achieved, such as flowing water, flashing, gradual change and so on.

Control mode:

The control mode of RGB light strip is relatively simple, and it only needs to control the brightness of three color channels. The commonly used controllers include monochrome controller, tri-color controller and four-wire controller.

The control mode of magic lantern strip is complicated, and special controllers, such as DMX controller and SPI controller, are needed to realize a variety of complex color and effect changes.

Usage scenario:

RGB light strips are suitable for application scenes that need single color and simple color change, such as home lighting, commercial lighting, landscape lighting and so on.

The magic lantern belt is suitable for application scenes that need complex color change and effect presentation, such as stage performance, hotel decoration, KTV private rooms and so on.

In a word, although the magic lantern strip and RGB light strip are both LED strip, there are some differences in color change mode, control mode and usage scene, so users should choose the appropriate products according to actual needs.
