thanks for all the replies guys and sorry about a late reply but all the parts just got here and I've tested out my circuit and it turns out I need more voltage.
I'm currently running 4 5050 LED's in series and it requires about 12 volts problem is the WS2801 only does 6 volts without a diode.
I have come up with two solutions...Include a diode and I was considering if this diode was the right one to use (If you guys could suggest any I would appreciate it)
Or would running 2 pairs of leds in parallel work better for my situation? (Diagram here: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/31949989/Idea1.PNG)
