Waterproof 120V AC DMX-RGB Controller

A higher voltage of the Waterproof 4 Channel DMX-RGB-W Controller is now available, introducing the Waterproof 120V AC DMX-RGB Controller.

The Waterproof 120V AC DMX-RGB Controller is a carbon copy of the Waterproof 4 Channel DMX-RGB-W Controller; the only difference between the two is that the Waterproof 120V AC DMX-RGB Controller is used for high voltage applications and the Waterproof 4 Channel DMX-RGB-W Controller is used for low voltage applications.

For those that have not used the Waterproof 4 Channel DMX-RGB-W Controller, don’t worry! All the information that is covered on this blog post can be mostly applied for the Waterproof 4 Channel DMX-RGB-W Controller as it resembles similar functionalities.

The Waterproof 120V AC DMX-RGB Controller’s exterior is fully waterproof, rated at IP67 along with its cables and connectors. Its sturdy high quality exterior can withstand the wettest locations – perfect on a patio, deck, poolside, or near a fountain.

The waterproofed cables consist of 14in LED Output cable, 19in DMX IN and OUT cables and 79in 120V AC Cord. Please note that the LED Output cable is not fully waterproofed unless you install a waterproof connector between the LED Output wire and your RGB fixture.

Solid Apollo offers an in-house installation for waterproofing your connections (please contact Solid Apollo for details). If you’d rather do-it-yourself, you would just have to install Solid Apollo’s RGB Outdoor Waterproof Connector or any waterproofing sleeve.

RGB Outdoor Waterproof Connector

As the name states, the Waterproof 120V AC DMX-RGB Controller converts DMX signals to RGB. This high voltage controller is great for 120V RGB products and works hand in hand with Solid Apollo’s RGB Neon LED Strip Lights and RGB Driverless LED Strip Lights.

Furthermore, it has a max power of 600W at 120V AC and can operate upwards of 165ft of RGB Neon LED Strips or up to 135ft of RGB Driverless LED Strip Lights on a single Waterproof 120V AC DMX-RGB Controller.

Additionally, it also has a built-in overheat and over current protection that will protect the controller when the current reaches a wattage value that will cause an excessive or dangerous temperature rise in conductors.

The Waterproof 120V AC DMX-RGB Controller has two primary functions: DMX Control Mode and Auto Program Mode. You can access these programs simply just by pressing and holding the first and second buttons below the digital display.

DMX Control is pretty straight-forward, once you’ve selected DMX Control Mode and connected your DMX512 Controller or your DMX capable control unit accordingly to the Waterproof 120V AC DMX-RGB Controller, you will be able to control two or more Waterproof 120V AC DMX-RGB Controllers enabling them to run the same program seamlessly (Please note, in order to run the same program seamlessly on multiple Waterproof 120V AC DMX-RGB Controllers, they must all be daisy-chained to one another).

If you’re having trouble choosing the right DMX Controller, Solid Apollo offers a wide range of DMX Controllers compatible with the Waterproof 120V AC DMX-RGB Controller. To name a few, DMX Controllers such as the LEDMotion 512, DMX Boss Wi-Fi Controller  and  Duet DMX & Wireless RGB-W In-Wall Controller. You can find more DMX Controllers here.

Using the RGB Driverless LED Strips with the Waterproof 120V AC DMX-RGB Controller

On a side note, one thing you might want to do first before operating in DMX Mode is to test to confirm if all systems and connections are working properly. To do this test, it is highly recommended to run the Auto Program Mode first. By doing this step first, you would precisely know if your connections are correct thus avoiding further troubleshooting down the road.

The Auto Program Mode enables the Waterproof 120V AC DMX-RGB Controller to run a variety of predefined internal programs if an external DMX Control system is not available. The Programs include flashing, fading and single color selection; and within those programs the brightness levels and speed can be adjusted.

In conclusion, the Waterproof 120V AC DMX-RGB Controller is a great controller, but it is better suited for applications where you intend to use a DMX application. Otherwise, revert back to your 120V RGB Controller as it offers the same functionality as the Waterproof 120V AC DMX-RGB Controller’s predefined internal programs if not more.

LED Wizard RGB Manual LED Controller

If you are eager to know what I mean about power and precision. Please, allow me to introduce the powerful RGB controller – the LED Wizard RGB Manual LED Controller and the precision controller – the DuoBrite RGB+W LED Controller with RF Remote.

Let’s start with the all new redesigned LED Wizard RGB Manual LED Controller. For starters, it is packed with additional features and more power than ever before put in an RGB LED Controller.

Operating at 12 to 24V DC, each RGB (Red, Green, and Blue) channel has a maximum output of 10A (amps). That said, at 24V DC, the maximum wattage per channel is 240W and with all three channels together, it totals to an outstanding 720W (watts) !

To give you an example on what you can possibly do with 720W, you can hook up  four 3535 150W RGB LED Strips or five 5050 144W RGB LED Strips or even ten 5050 72W RGB LED Strips! The list goes on, as creative as you can be.

Please keep in mind though when attempting the examples mentioned, make sure to not exceed 720W otherwise you would damage or in most cases burn the RGB LED controller. Please be very careful and proceed with caution.

Perfect for  Architectural Lighting

The LED Wizard RGB Manual LED Controller is specifically designed for manual control. Within its thick aluminum matte black shell, on the front facing there are 8 individual buttons that corresponds to different functions.

These user friendly functions will allow you to shuffle through 25 unique pre-saved programs such as color jumping, fading, flashing as well as the option to choose static colors.

Furthermore, the other set of buttons will enable you to create your own atmosphere by dimming and brightening your environment with 64 different levels as well as selecting 47 speed adjustments.

Another unique feature about the Manual RGB LED controller is its three indicator lights (RGB) that light up alongside with its corresponding RGB LED Lights. When set to a static color, for example red, that red indicator light will light up and when a pre-saved mode is in play, those indicator lights will be playing in sync with the mode that is currently on. It’s also a good little trick to see if the connections are functioning correctly.

Now let’s talk about the precision controller. If you’re project requires blending, mixing, finding that exact color and going beyond the RGB+W color spectrum. If you guessed using the DuoBrite RGB+W LED Controller with RF Remote, then you’re correct.

DuoBrite RGB+W LED Controller with RF Remote

The DuoBrite RGB+W LED Controller can precisely fine tune a color of your choice using the 4 individual rotary knobs on the RGB LED controller. These 4 rotary knobs control the Red, Green, Blue and White individually and also act as a dimmer for each color. Each color can be dimmed all the way Off or can be used as a mixer for each color.

For example, if you have Red and Blue all the way turned up, that color will become purple. Now if you turn the red down a notch, it will give you a different shade of that purple. The same concept goes with the rest of the colors when mixed together.

Similar to the LED Wizard RGB Manual LED Controller, the included RF Controller gives you easy access to play with the built-in modes.

These built-in modes also consist of color jumping, fading, flashing as well as the option to choose static colors. Adjusting the speed and brightness of each mode are also available with 16 levels to choose from.

Thanks to its RF (Radio Frequency) signal, the RF Remote has the ability to send a signal to your RGB LED Controller up to a maximum of 100ft with obstacles and 200ft without obstacles.

Easily Control Color Changing RGBW LED Lights

In conclusion, the LED Wizard Manual RGB LED Controller and DuoBrite RGB+W LED Controller with RF Controller have similar properties but definitely can be utilized on specific projects.

In spite of their slight differences, both are perfect for various applications such as accent and decorative lighting, buildings, decks, landscaping, game rooms, casinos, retail stores and more.
