Review on 🌈 FVTLED Waterproof Multicolor Compatible Light with Control by Daniel Shankle

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great lighting but LED wiring may not be standard

Works great! Bright and appears to be well made. However, the wiring doesn't seem to be standard if you want to hook it up to your own controller. For RGBW LEDs you need 5 wires. The color of the wire must match the corresponding color of the LED, and the black wire must be the common V+. When I talk about wire color I am talking about the wires that connect to the 5 pin waterproof connectors used in these lights. Now it's possible that the plugs I bought are to blame. :https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07BQLPVN5/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I have no idea if there is a standard pin configuration for this type of waterproof connector. Correct wiring for the connectors listed above (I bought the batch anyway): red wire = common green wire = red led blue wire = blue led yellow wire = green led black wire = white led https://www.amazon.com/gp /product /B07BY8XH8P/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Controllable with Arduino or Raspberry Pi etc. Now I can control each light individually and integrate it into my holiday lighting system. Just make sure you power them with a good 12V power supply.
