Isolated vs Non Isolated LED Drivers and Why it Matters in LED Lights

Isolated vs Non Isolated LED Drivers and Why it Matters in LED Lights

An isolated LED driver is an LED driver that is electrically isolated from the input power source and the output dc current to the LED board. There is no direct connection between the input (line from building) and output to the LED board. This is achieved through the use of an isolation transformer that separates input and output.

RGB Lights Vs. RGBW Lights – What's The Difference

RGB Lights Vs. RGBW Lights – What's The Difference

RGBW refers to red, green, blue, and white light. RGBW was developed after RGB. If your science class serves you right, remember that there are three primary optical colors; red, green, and blue. RGB is based on numerous combinations of all three primary colors. The principle of color light emission is the basis of its design. RGB Lights can be described as three different colors: red, green, and blue. The colors are mixed, and the combined brightness equals the total brightness of the two lights when their lights are superimposed on one another. Brightness increases with increasing mixing degree, which is additive mixing.

But. . .  RGB is a different scale than CCT or color corrected temperature/ kelvin.   You can have a RGB light and try a tone of brown, but it may never be that warm white 2700K-3000K that you want because its missing a piece.
