The warm rich ambiance created by outdoor LED strip lighting makes it a popular smart home project. This proposed project combines IP68-rated LED strips with an IP67 power supply, IP66 enclosures, and dielectric grease to ensure trouble-free operation.

The Shelly RGBW2 is a 4-channel LED strip controller supporting 12 and 24 VDC. When used with RGBW LED strips, the controller includes a unified interface with the color wheel Color Wheel in the Shelly Smart Control app. When the RGBW2 is used with 4 white LED strips, each channel is displayed and controlled independently in the app.

• The RGBW2 is not outdoor rated and must be used with an appropriate enclosure.

• The maximum load for 12VDC is 45 watts per channel, with a 144-watt device maximum. [DR1] 

• The maximum load for 24VDC is 90 watts per channel, with a 288-watt device maximum. [DR2] 

• The RGBW2 controls can also control 12/24VDC LED bulbs.

Notes

•  As portrayed, 16 AWG gauge wire is used to connect RGBW to V+ and V-.

• The connectors for V+ and V- are secured in the enclosure housing.

• A second IP66 enclosure for the disposal cord connection to the driver is necessary.

• Most LED strip manufacturers use black wire for V+.

• Some LED strips have red and green wires switched. Green controls the red channel red controls the green channel.
