rmcjfrank Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 I was looking for a way to use my current LOR controller to run 120v LED strips -- are there 120v RGB "dumb" strips, and is it possible to run one of those using a standard CTB16 controller? I have seen the options to use 12v strips and a DC controller, but was trying to not buy more controllers -- not sure if it will be economical or even doable, but wanted to see if anyone knew of a way.

john fulkerson Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 usually led or rgb strips are 5 or 12 volt not 120 dumb or smart now there are 120volt led lights but they don't change color Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Benedict Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 (edited) You might find it to be a good investment; DC controller for $100, power supply for $30, case+wiring for $30; total $160 to control five strings of RGB lights. Here's how someone put it all together. You can shop several places for the dumb RGB strips; there are excellent vendors out there. Soon, LOR may announce a new DC controller for RGB lights. Later on when you want a more advanced display, there's smart strips and pixels to make your heart go pitter patter.
