10 Best Controllers for Rgbw
for March 2023

MOOZ's editors independently choose recommendations. Purchases made through our links may earn us commissions.

The RGBW LED light strip is all the rage right now, and for good reason. These lights come in a variety of colors, with RGBW light strips offering more color options than RGB lights. RGBW light strips are brighter, too, with all three colors (red, green, and blue) turned on simultaneously. These lights work great in homes, offices, or bars, and you can even install them on the ceiling or under the cabinet.

RGBW light strips require an RGBW controller, which controls the lights. The RGBW controller should allow you to choose from multiple colors, control how bright each color is, and even switch between different lighting modes, like fading from one color to another or flashing.

The RGBW controller is also an important part of your RGBW light strip's setup. It connects via cable or wireless to your RGBW light strip, which plugs into a power source. The controller has ports for power and data, and connects via cable or wireless to your RGBW light strip.

When testing RGBW controllers, we evaluate ease of use, performance, and tech specs.
