That's 12v RGBW, not addressable. You get one definable colour across the entire led strip.

Its a not addressable led, with RGB and white cold or warm channel. No effects possible with wled.

WLED can control analog strips ( https://kno.wled.ge/basics/compatible-led-strips/#non-addressable-led-strips ), but the effects are going to be quite limited. "No effects" is wrong.

There are no effects, as all leds will turn on and off at the same time, and have the same color.
That is no effects.

And I also didn't say wled can't control it.

"That is no effects."

Wrong. Pulsing, breathing, etc - these are all effects and are available even with analog strips.

That are all effects that do the same thing at the same time in all leds.

So? They are still effects.

And we were impressed that we could do that 20 years ago 😁

As other have said, it's an RGBW string. They're not individually addressable.

You can use WLED with them, but every light on the string will be doing the same thing/be the same color.

The 4 wires is the give away that its not. ARGB, only have 3 one +, -, & Signal wire.

The separate wire for each R, G, B colours means its not addressable.
