Planning an RGBW LED Strip Setup with Wall Controller? Here’s What You’ll Need
If you're considering installing RGBW LED strips with a sleek wall-mounted control panel, here's a simple breakdown of what’s typically required for a professional and reliable setup.
✅ 1. Wall Controller with Built-In LED Control
Look for a wall panel that has a built-in RGBW controller. These panels connect directly to your LED strip — no need for a separate receiver. Once powered with a 24V driver, they handle dimming, brightness, and colour control directly from the panel.

✅ 2. Choosing Your RGBW LED Strip
You’ll typically choose between:
COB RGBW (Premium, dot-free finish):
SMD RGBW (Efficient, ideal for hidden use):
Choose RGBW strips with 6000K cool white if you want a daylight effect.
✅ 3. 24V Non-Dimmable LED Driver
Even though the wall panel handles dimming, it still needs a non-dimmable constant voltage driver to supply 24V power.
Recommended Driver:
Suitable for powering up to 5 metres of RGBW LED strip.
✅ 4. Accessories for a Clean and Safe Install
To avoid bulky junction boxes and keep the installation tidy, most professionals use IP68-rated cable connector boxes.
Recommended Accessory:
Use two units per setup — one for the input (230V) and one for the output (24V).
