An RGB LED strip has only red, green, and blue LEDs and creates white by mixing all three — the result is bluish-white, never pure. An RGBW strip adds a dedicated white LED chip, so when you want plain white light it produces clean white without colour-mixing artefacts. RGBW is preferred for living rooms, bedrooms, and any space where you actually want usable white light alongside colour scenes. Beakn 72 LED/m RGBW strip costs ₹199 per metre.

Pick by what you want to light. Choose the RGBW system if you want colour or mood — TV backlights, decorative coves, kids rooms, festival lighting, party zones. Choose the Profile system if you want clean tunable white — cove lighting, kitchen task lights, wardrobe interiors, bathroom mirror lighting (subject to IP rating), study desks. Both systems use the same 24V SMPS lineup, so you can mix both in one home.

One Beakn RGBW Controller or Profile Light Dimmer supports up to 20 metres of LED strip. For installations longer than 20 metres, use multiple controllers — each is independently addressable in the Beakn app and can be grouped into one scene. Make sure the SMPS is sized to total wattage. The 24V 12.5A SMPS at ₹1,416 covers most 20-metre installations with headroom.

No. Beakn RGBW Controllers and Profile Light Dimmers connect directly to your home WiFi router and talk to the Beakn cloud over the internet. There is no separate hub, bridge, or Zigbee gateway required. Each controller is independently registered to your account. If one controller goes offline, the rest keep working independently.

The strip stays on at its last-set state when internet drops, and any schedules saved on the controller continue to run from onboard memory. Voice assistants and remote app control require internet. Manual control via wired wall switch (if installed) works regardless. The system reconnects automatically when internet returns — no resetup needed.

Yes. All Beakn LED strips can be cut at marked intervals along the strip — the exact cut interval depends on the variant. [NEEDS VERIFICATION — confirm cut spacing per variant: typically every 25mm for high-density and every 50mm or 100mm for low-density strips.] Cut only at marked points, never between, or you will damage the circuit. Use supplied connectors or solder for clean joins.

For a 5-metre 72 LED/m RGBW strip running at approximately 14.4 W per metre, total wattage is 72 W. Add 20% headroom and the 24V 6.25A SMPS (150 W, ₹581) is the right size. The 24V 4.1A unit (98 W, ₹684) is borderline — not recommended for full-brightness use. Always size up rather than down. [NEEDS VERIFICATION on exact W/m for the 72 LED/m RGBW strip.]
