- Check the channel count - this drives RGB, which is three channels. RGB CCT tape uses five and needs a five channel controller.
- Wire it in the right order - mains feeds the driver, the driver feeds the controller, the controller feeds the tape. Wiring the controller before the driver will not work and can damage it.
- Put the receiver where you can reach it - a controller sealed inside a finished cove is the part of the install you will regret hiding.
- Pair the remote - follow the pairing step before the cove or cabinet is closed up.
- Test the range - the radio link works through walls, so check it from where you will actually use the remote.
The piece that makes colour tape usable
RGB tape on its own does nothing. Between the driver and the strip sits a controller, and that is what mixes the channels to produce a colour. Without it you get either nothing or all three channels full on, which is a flat white.
This kit pairs a receiver with a touch remote over a 2.4G radio link. Radio rather than infrared, which means it works through a wall and does not need line of sight to the strip.

Radio or infrared
| RF 2.4G | Infrared | |
|---|---|---|
| Needs line of sight | No | Yes |
| Works through a wall | Yes | No |
| Range | Long | Short, in the room |
| Receiver can be hidden | Yes | No, it must be visible |
That last row is the one that matters most in practice. A cove or a cabinet run has the receiver tucked out of sight, which an infrared system cannot do.
Check the channel count
This controller drives RGB, which is three channels. RGB+CCT tape uses five and needs a five-channel controller — a three-channel unit will run the colours and leave the white emitters dark. Match the controller to the tape before you order either.
Where it goes in the run
Mains feeds the driver. The driver feeds the controller. The controller feeds the tape. Wiring the controller before the driver will not work and can damage it. Keep it somewhere reachable — a controller sealed inside a finished cove is the one part of the install you will regret hiding.
