A three channel RGB controller will drive RGB tape and leave the white emitters of an RGB+CCT run completely dark. An addressable tape needs a controller speaking its protocol, and usually the run length programmed in. Order the controller with the tape and check they match.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e12V or 24V\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn a run longer than about 16 feet, 12V tape goes visibly dimmer towards the far end. Take 24V for anything longer, or feed the run from both ends. The two are not interchangeable — a 24V tape on a 12V supply either will not light or runs far below output.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBlack or white PCB\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe digital versions come on either. A black board disappears against dark joinery and a white one against a pale ceiling. It makes no difference to the light, only to what you see when the tape is off — which matters on an exposed run.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat every run needs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAn aluminium channel\u003c\/strong\u003e sized to the board width, to pull heat away.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA driver\u003c\/strong\u003e at the right voltage, sized to load plus 20 percent.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA matching controller\u003c\/strong\u003e with the correct channel count.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnectors\u003c\/strong\u003e at every cut, matched to the board width.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eRelated\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor white light only see our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/led-strip-lights\"\u003eRa90 and tunable white COB tape\u003c\/a\u003e.
