RGBW Landscape Lighting

Hey everyone!

Recently, I’ve been looking into DIY installing some landscape lighting. I already have a plan to get power to my landscape lights, but I would preferably like to have RGBW lights.

The issue is that I can’t use traditional zigbee/z-wave bulbs for this, because they all run on mains voltage, and I don’t want to deal with the hassle of running 120V to landscape lights (code has strict requirements on cable you can use, burial depth, etc.) and would strongly prefer 12/24V landscape wiring.

Is there any way at all to accomplish this? My thought was that I would have to use zigbee or z-wave since I’m not sure how else the bulbs would talk to each other (there’s no standard for landscape power AND data), but I really can’t find any quality fixtures/bulbs that work outdoors–or really any low power RGBW bulbs at all for that matter.

I may just have to settle for no RGB, but surely there’s a way to do this? Thanks :slight_smile:

The Tuya integration does allow for many brands to work you may not realize. You join them in Tuya or SmartLife instead of their native app.
Atomi is a brand that works, but having dealt with many warranty claims with them, I feel they’re low quality.

It is expensive, but Hue is by far the best landscape lighting solution, it just works.

I get complements all the time.
