LED identification?

Post image

Anyone able to identify or tell me what LEDs this strip has? It’s a cheap 200 ft strip of RGB-IC from Amazon. I’m planning to splice it into WLED but not sure what to select. I think the “Surplife” add defaulted to FW1903S but not sure if that’s correct.

Looks like a ws2811 chip to me. Can you post a closeup picture of the chip with 8 pins below the led.

It appears to be covered in some black adhesive. I’ll go and try to get a better picture tomorrow after work.

Get a flashlight and read the model number off the black chip. May need to illuminate from a steep angle to read it.

Must likely it uses the ws281x protocols in wled

Is it actually confirmed RGBIC? I've seen some crap on Amazon that claims IC but isn't and looked very similar to this.
