It seamlessly combines power delivery with advanced control features, allowing for customized and energy-efficient illumination of your outdoor living spaces.
Key features
• Wireless Connectivity: Bluetooth® and Wi-Fi enabled, enabling control via Android and iPhone apps. It also integrates with voice assistants like Amazon Alexa and Google Home.
• Wired Remote Photocell: Includes a 5’ wired remote photocell for flexible light sensing and automation.
• Output Wire with Molded Tee Connector: The 4’ output wire lead comes with a molded Tee connector, simplifying the connection of multiple light fixtures.
• Smart Control Features: Built-in smartphone connectivity controls include:
o Dimmer: Adjust LED brightness for various moods and energy savings.
o Timer: Schedule lights to turn on and off automatically based on preset times or dusk-to-dawn operation.
o Teachable Photo Eye: Automate dusk-to-dawn operation or customized schedules. The photocell does not need to be in a daylight sensing location when controlling with Alexa or Google Home.
o Diagnostic Troubleshooting: Assists in identifying and resolving issues with the lighting system.
• Color Temperature Control: This power supply allows for control over the color temperature of compatible LED lights, with a range of 2700 Kelvin (warm white) to 6500 Kelvin (daylight) and 6 preset settings: 2700K, 3000K, 3500K, 4000K, 5000K, and 6500K.
• Expandability: The power supply can handle a maximum of 65 lights, each drawing 0.8 watts. For lights with lower wattage, the number of compatible lights increases accordingly.
• Voltage Output: Provides a stable 12 Volt DC output.
Benefits for outdoor living spaces
• Enhanced Safety: The low voltage DC system minimizes the risk of electrical shock, making it safe for outdoor use, especially around water features and in wet conditions.
• Energy Efficiency: DC LED lighting systems eliminate energy loss from AC-DC conversions, leading to greater efficiency, reduced electricity bills, and a lower environmental footprint.
• Long Lifespan and Durability: LED bulbs, known for their long lifespan, last longer in low-voltage systems due to reduced heat generation, requiring less frequent replacements and maintenance.
• Versatility & Design Flexibility: Low voltage enables various lighting techniques like uplighting, downlighting, moonlighting, and path lighting. You can choose from a wide range of fixtures and achieve diverse lighting effects.
• Reduced Light Pollution: Properly designed low voltage systems can minimize light spillage and glare, reducing light pollution and preserving the natural night sky.
• Easy Installation: Low voltage systems are generally simpler to install compared to high-voltage systems and often don't require professional permits.
Potential outdoor applications with color temperature control
• Warm White (2700K-3500K):
o Ambiance: Create a cozy and inviting atmosphere on patios, decks, or around fire pits.
o Architectural Features: Accentuate the warmth of natural materials like wood or brick on home exteriors.
o Garden Lighting: Highlight flowerbeds, shrubs, and trees, enhancing their natural beauty.
• Cool White (4000K-6500K):
o Task Lighting: Provide bright, clear illumination for outdoor cooking areas or workspaces.
o Security Lighting: Enhance visibility along pathways, steps, and around the perimeter of the property, deterring potential intruders.
o Modern Aesthetics: Complement contemporary home designs with a crisp, clean light.
By using this smart power supply with low-voltage LED lights, you can create a beautiful, functional, and energy-efficient outdoor living space. You can tailor the lighting to different occasions, enhance security, and minimize energy consumption.
