I am interested in the 5050 tape to put in some light units in my rv. What is this black and white controller? I do not want color just strong white

There are actually (3) different types of RGB tape that you need to know about before making a decision. The traditional RGB tape only includes those hues of color (Red, Green, Blue) so any white light will have a tint of either blue or other. In order to get true white color you will need to look at either the RGBW or RGBWW light tape strips. The RGBW includes a standard white LED so the white color will truly be white. The RGBWW is an even nicer white light that more pure and natural so depending on what type of white light you're trying to achieve hopefully this helps you out. Additionally the SUPERNIGHT product listing page has these variants and they're all relatively priced the same. Good luck!

So so. The controller that you'll use has to be able to create a kind of violet colour. The more LEDS you have, the better UV effect you get.

I have used the controller with several brands of Dimmer and appliance modules. GE, Iris (Sold at Lowes), Sylvania, and Leviton. The key is that the switch must be controllable by z-wave technology. You cannot just buy a normal dimmer and use with this controller. I have two and it works GREAT.

This controller is for the IC RGB. Meaning each red, green, blue is not integrated rather individual colors. This is for chasing.

I've ordered two sets on a Black roll and there is no difference that I can see between it and a white roll (except price, which is weird). I want black PCB board, and so far I haven't managed to get that from this seller. I'll be returning my 2nd order and going elsewhere for my needs.

I used an IKEA DIODER 4 piece multicolor strip set on my desk http://www.amazon.com/IKEA-DIODER-4-piece-Light-Multicolor/dp/9178883601/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1382147493&sr=8-4&keywords=ikea+led ... If I did it again I might try an LED 5050 multicolor Ribbon strip, with the 44 key remote http://www.amazon.com/TaoTronics%C2%AE-TT-SL007-Waterproof-including-Controller/dp/B006K0JYD8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1382148092&sr=8-1&keywords=led+5050+taotronics ... Im using the ribbon on some other things (display cases, around the back of a TV on the wall, etc.) , and with the 44 key remote it has more options for the settings... Although 1 strip I got of that ribbon LED went bad pretty fast, and the IKEA is still going strong almost 24/7 for almost a year now...

I now see on my Android device a app called 'LED Magic Color Controller'....I personally do not have the bulb to test out if this is legit, but I'm only posting the name in case someone can test this out and reply back to see if I am right or wrong (let's hope I'm right...lol)

Automotive industry wiring standard is: red = positive (+), black = negative (-). RV industry 12 volt wiring standard is: black = positive (+), white = negative (-). Remember in the RV chassis, there's also black/white/green 120 volt AC "house" wiring (a third wiring "standard"). Try hooking the light's red (+) wire to the RV's black (12 volt +) wire. Then try connecting the light's black (-) wire and the RV's two white (12 volt -) wires all together. Think of the RV 12-volt "-" white wire as a common negative wire for your RV fixtures that don't have a negative ( 12 volt "-") connection to the automotive metal frame (the automotive system's common "-" supply). If you have a DC voltmeter, even a cheap one from Radio Shack, or just a 12-volt automotive bulb (like a stop light bulb) you can try this wiring combination out on the meter or bulb and see if it works, before hooking up the LED light. The potential to confuse DC and AC wiring of the same color is why boat industry wiring standards have been transitioning (for years now) to DC "+" being red wire and DC "-" being yellow wire, in most applications.

I purchased many of these light strips, but none came with instructions, on how to use the remote? Can you slowly fade in just blues or blues and greens?

Mine came with black and white load legs.. no matter how i hooked the load .. it melted the black led power wire .. i think the units are crap

For one. This isn't what it's going to look like. It's all black like a regular controller. No idea who makes it. Bought one then I got it broken and was never ale to get in contact with anyone to fix my problem. So don't buy. Worst 100$ I've ever spent.

I'm sorry but this controller doesn't come in white color, only black version right now.

No, the extra wire that you see actually has the IR receiver on the end of it. You need line of sight between the remote and the end of that wire. The infrared controller is the only way to control the fixture. You cannot use a DMX controller. The IR remote however can control more than one light as long as you have line of sight for all your fixtures. All the lights will however display the same color/effect. If you want to have different colors or effects on different lights, you would need to shield the lights so that the IR signal was only reaching one light at a time. I have 8 of these. One remote controls 4 lights, and the other 4 need a different controler. Apparently they came from different batches and some use a different IR frequency than others, so I would recommend buying all you need at the same time. Also, if using a color changing effect, not all lights will change colors at exactly the same time. Some are a little faster than others so they get out of sync. The timing device used to control the color change macros is not very precisie.

i fell for that controller as well, worked for two days numerous emails with the company, went on amazon again and bought a renogy 30amp controller. sorry you got one from the same china no helpers

The controller (if you purchased the controller) takes a 2.1mm x 5mm DC power connector (available at Radio Shack solder-on or on-line as a screw down conductor type), the center pin is +12 Volts the shell is return or - ground. It doesn't malke any difference which end of the string you plug into,,but the key goes to the key on the connector and they must be aligned. you will only be able to plug one 5M string into one controller (otherwise you will over power the controller) the second string will not be the same brightness as the first string, that's why you will need an amplifier to power the second string from the same controller, you run a second 12 volts + & - from the power source and plug the first strips other 4 pin plug into the amplifier and the 2nd string either end into the other side of the amplifier. Hope this helps? Also if you didn't get the controller and remote the white wire is +12 Volts and the colored wires are returned to - depending on the color you want white is all three colored wires to - return.

what controller are we talking about. I have installed a lot of MM. Can you be more specific.
