How to Choose the Right Remote Control or Wall Panel for Your LED Strip Setup
How to Choose the Right Remote Control or Wall Panel for Your LED Strip Matching your remote or wall panel to your LED strip type is essential for full functionality. Here’s a quick guide: Single Colour: Needs a dedicated single-colour remote or wall panel for dimming and on/off control. CCT (Tunable White): Requires a CCT-specific remote to adjust brightness and colour temperature. RGB: Works with an RGB remote or a versatile RGB/RGBW remote. RGBW: Needs an RGBW remote or an RGB/RGBW remote to control the additional white (W) channel. RGB+CCT: Must have an RGB+CCT remote to manage both RGB colours and tunable white channels. Important: While some remotes, like RGB/RGBW, work for multiple strip types, it’s best to match the remote to your specific strip for optimal performance. Controllers may be configurable, but remotes and panels are not—choose the exact type for your LED strip. Use the Product Specifications Tab and Refine By Filter on our website to find the perfect remote or panel. For assistance, contact us or visit Hi-Line Lighting.
