+===3 Pin Addressable LED's===
+These are primarily the WS2811, WS2812, WS2812B or NeoPixel series of LED's.
+  * These are inexpensive compared to 4 pin strips.
+  * You can use several pins to drive multiple strips with them.
+  * The disadvantage is that FastLED disables interrupts, so you can't use libraries that rely on interrupts (such as IR remote) at the same time on an 8 bit AVR.
+===4 Pin Addressable LED's===
+These are primarily WS2801, LPD8806, APA102 or DotStar series of LED's.
+  * The advantage of these is that FastLED doesn't disable interrupts, so you can use 3rd party libraries that require interrupts.
+  * In addition, these LED strips support a much higher refresh rate and can be used in POV applications.
+  * FastLED doesn't support multiple strips though.
