Classic RGBW LED Strip (2nd Gen) – Enhanced Colour-Changing with Pure White
Experience superior lighting performance with our upgraded Classic RGBW LED Strip (2nd Gen). Delivering exceptional brightness and colour quality, this enhanced strip combines dynamic RGB colour-changing with crisp 6000K white illumination for professional applications requiring both decorative and functional lighting.
2nd Gen Technology Advantages:
-
Enhanced brightness output – 600 lumens per metre for superior illumination
-
Improved efficiency – better light output while maintaining 14.4W per metre consumption
-
RGB plus pure white – full spectrum colours with dedicated 6000K white LEDs
-
Compact 10mm width – fits into narrow channels and tight spaces
-
60 LEDs per metre – smooth, even light distribution with excellent colour mixing
Perfect Applications:
-
Intricate channel letters – fit LED strip in one continuous piece rather than in multiple pieces and having to connect together
-
Premium retail displays – high-brightness RGB effects with pure white for merchandise showcase
-
Professional signage – enhanced visibility with superior light output for commercial applications
-
Architectural accent lighting – bright, uniform illumination for feature walls and coves
-
Exhibition stands – dynamic colour effects with functional white lighting for displays
Installation Advantages:
-
Flexible installation – no intermediate connections needed for runs up to 10m (see power planning for electrical requirements)
-
Cut exactly to length – 100mm intervals for precise fitting
-
Professional adhesive – pre-applied backing bonds to clean surfaces
-
Simple connection – compatible with all 12V LED drivers and RGBW controllers
Power Planning Made Simple:
-
1 metre = 14.4W
-
3 metre run = 43.2W (typical application)
-
Up to 5m = 72W (requires 80W+ power supply for safety margin)
-
Up to 10m = Power from both ends (80W+ total power supply capacity)
-
Longer than 10m = Requires power injection every 5m to prevent dimming

Professional RGBW Control
RGBW LED strips require an RGBW controller to access their full colour-changing and white light potential. Our RGBW controllers offer independent control of RGB colours and the dedicated white channel, allowing for pure white light, full spectrum colours, or combinations of both. Choose from basic manual controllers, remote control units, or smartphone app-controlled systems for ultimate lighting flexibility.
