RGBW Color Lights

What does RGBW mean in lighting? How is it different from RGB?

RGBW refers to the four standard colors in the LED chips: red, green, blue, and white. Both RGB and RGBW LED lights mix red, green and blue to produce many different colors. However, the dedicated white chips in RGBW LED lights result in a more diverse color palette and can also enhance or raise the brightness of the other colors. Most importantly, RGBW LED lights can be used as a stand-alone crisp white light. RGB lights must run all three colors at once to produce something that resembles a blurry or foggy white. This uses a lot of energy and does not result in a true white tone, which is why RGBW is better for outdoor lighting.

Can I use an RGBW LED light as a normal landscape light?

Yes, VOLT® RGBW LED fixtures are set by default to 100 percent light output at a warm white 2700K color temperature, which is what’s most commonly used in landscape lighting. Use the VOLT® RGBW Remote Control to adjust your RGBW LED lights to your preferred color and intensity. VOLT® currently makes a variety of 12V and 120V RGBW LED spotlights and flood lights for landscape lighting, and more fixtures are coming soon. 

How do you change the colors on a VOLT® RGBW outdoor light? Do they have stored memory?

All VOLT® RGBW LED lights can be controlled with the VOLT® RGBW Remote Control, which allows for RGBW color-changing modes as well as dimming in 10 percent increments. These fixtures do have stored memory, so you can play a light show and afterward the light will return to its previous color.

Do RGBW fixtures require a special transformer? Do they draw more wattage?

No, the RGBW components are housed within the fixture and do not require a special low voltage transformer, nor do they draw more wattage.

Are RGBW LED landscape lights expensive?

At VOLT®, our factory-direct prices make RGBW lights affordable without sacrificing quality. For example, our RGBW G4 Infiniti™ 60  Integrated LED Brass Spotlight is easily the most affordable RGBW LED brass fixture in low voltage outdoor lighting. VOLT® also provides a lifetime warranty on brass fixtures and live customer support 7 days a week!
