Hello Guys,

I've got a garden lighting job to do in Feb, a long way a way I know. The company I am doing it for, (garden lighting designer) usually only design very simple 12v garden lighting systems, simple on and off. However this time they have a job for a designer who has asked for colour changing led strip run underneath each raised decked flower bed and steps, 4 beds and alone one large step.

I am fine for the waterproof drivers e.t.c, it is the colour changing or how to that is difficult. Usually with LED strip indoors there is an rgb controller that changes the colour for every strip and that is all of my exposure to them at the moment. However this time there will be 5 strips all around a 3m distance from each other and no more than 5m in length, that require colour changing. They want this all from 1 remote so with one press of the button the colour will change in all the strips. The controls have to be hidden and obviously waterproof.

I have spoken to different suppliers about amps and common controls, but I wondered if any of you guys had done something similar, and how you went about the controls e.t.c. It is a decked area so I could hide the controls underneath in a waterproof enclosure with access e.t.c. However I need something reliable that will work via remote and control all lights.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the replies guys, I think the budget is relatively tight say around £300 mark. I don't think £700 would be viable. I will ring the designer tomorrow and find out the budget I have exactly to play with.

LEDHut sell IP rated RGB strip & tape which will do the job for that kind of money, just a little more fiddly to hang it all together.
