Remote dimming for outdoor LED stripsThe
LCREMOTE-RECEIVER-EXT-IP65 is a remote and receiver set designed to dim exterior LED strip lighting operating at 12-24V. The receiver installs close to the lighting, between the
LED power supply and the strip, while the remote gives you control from wherever you are on the deck, the patio or the terrace. It is the easiest way to add
outdoor dimming to a strip light project without installing an exterior dimmer box or running new wires to a wall switch.
Made for exterior installationsAs its model number indicates, the receiver carries an
IP65 rating, which suits it to outdoor locations exposed to dust and splashing water, such as soffits, deck frames, pergola beams and exterior walls. To get the most out of it, mount the receiver in a spot sheltered from standing water and direct sun, keep the cable entries facing down, and seal every outdoor connection with suitable
weatherproof connectors. Remember that the rest of the installation must be rated for the location too: choose outdoor-rated LED strips and a power supply suited to exterior use.
12V or 24V: one dimmer for bothThe 12-24V operating range means the same dimmer can control a 12V strip on one project and a 24V strip on the next. Simply check that your
12V LED strip or
24V LED strip is powered by a driver of the same voltage, and that the total load of your strips suits the receiver. For long exterior runs, 24V strips are often preferred because they allow longer runs with less voltage drop, and this dimmer handles them just as well. Keep the wiring between the receiver and the strip as short as practical to limit voltage drop.
Applications and the rest of the familyHomeowners use this
remote dimmer for deck and railing lighting, pergolas, gazebos, stair lighting, fences, soffits and outdoor kitchens, while businesses rely on it for restaurant terraces, café patios, hotel entrances, storefront canopies and
illuminated signs. It is suited to residential and commercial projects. The same family also includes the
1-zone IR remote with connector, the
4-zone CCT remote for tunable-white lighting and the
8-zone RGBW remote control for colour projects.
