The 96LEDs/m DMX512 5050 RGB digital LED bar (Model: XXA-BAR-96D512) is a professional addressable lighting product designed for commercial and entertainment environments where precise pixel control and signal reliability matter. Running on DC24V at 23W/m, it places 96 SMD 5050 RGB pixels per meter under 16 DMX512 ICs. Available in various styles, it is suitable for both architectural lighting integration and stage lighting setups. Samples are currently available, with a lead time of 5–7 days.
Unlike SPI-based strips , the 96D512 uses RS-485 differential signalling . This protocol assists in preserving signal integrity over long cable runs, minimising flickering and sync loss that often plague SPI installations in large-scale projects.
The bar has 96 LEDs per metre, enabling smoother and more detailed dynamic effects than 60 LEDs/m offerings. DMX512 also employs parallel signal transmission. Should one pixel fail, the pixels downstream continue unhindered.

The 96LEDs/m DMX512 5050 RGB configuration includes the following characteristics relevant to professional project planning:
ElisaLED applies the following inspection procedures during production:
Gold Wire Bonding Verification — The bonding wire inside each SMD 5050 chip is inspected to confirm material specification and connection integrity.
Signal Integrity Testing — Oscilloscopes are used to verify RS-485 waveform quality across a 5-meter run, checking for signal degradation in extended configurations.
Thermal Cycling — Units are tested through −40°C to +60°C transitions to evaluate PCB and solder joint performance under temperature variation.
Salt Spray and UV Resistance — The IP67 silicone extrusion is tested for water ingress resistance and UV-related yellowing to assess outdoor durability.
Luminous Flux Maintenance — LM-80 data is referenced during production to monitor brightness retention in the high-density 96-LED layout.
The density of 96 pixel per metre allows for reading text and images on surfaces the size of buildings. The DMX512 RS-485 backbone provides signal integrity in the long cable runs typical of big structural installations.
The bar can be integrated with DMX consoles such as grandMA and Avolites for synchronised control of the stage. 2 KHz+ PWM rate for flicker free capture in HD broadcast recording.
For applications such as infinity mirrors or polished surface light troughs using marble or glass, the 96 LEDs/m density eliminates the noticeable hot spots and dot patterns that lesser density strips can produce on reflective surfaces.

Q: What is the difference between the 48D512 and 96D512 DMX Digital LED Bars?
A: They both use DMX512 control. The 48D512 has 48 accessible pixels per metre, and the 96D512 has 96. The 96D512 has a greater density, which results in smoother motion and sharper detail at near viewing distances.
Q: What is the difference between the 48D2903, 48D512, and 96D512?
A:The 48D2903 is a high-power wall washer designed for large-scale façade grazing. The 48D512 and 96D512 are both addressable digital bars for dynamic effects, with the 96D512 offering twice the pixel density of the 48D512.
Q: Do I need a DMX address writer for the product bar?
A:Most DMX512 strips require an external coder to set the start address. Some auto-addressing versions are available. Confirm your addressing requirement before ordering so the correct configuration can be supplied.
Q: Can I control this bar with Arduino or Raspberry Pi?
A: Yes, if you install a converter from TTL to RS485 to match the levels of the DMX512 signal.
Q: What do I verify before I install?
A: There are a number of things to check. IP rating for the environment, power supply voltage and capacity, DMX controller compatibility and addressing plan, cable routing and connector protection, mounting method and ambient operating temperature. If you are unsure of any of these for your unique project please contact us before to purchase.
Q: Is the signal serial or parallel?
A:DMX512 uses parallel signal logic. A single failed pixel does not interrupt the signal to downstream pixels, which is a practical advantage in installations where continuity is important.
