Overview

Setting up your RGBIC Neon LED Rope is straightforward: connect the strip to your controller, power everything up, configure WLED, and you're ready to create stunning lighting effects.

Connection Flow

24V Power Supply → RGBIC Controller → LED Strip

What You'll Achieve

Once setup is complete, you'll have:

• 140 individually controllable pixels – creating smooth, flowing colour effects
• Wi-Fi control – from your smartphone or computer
• Voice control – via Alexa or Google Assistant (with compatible controllers)
• Music sync – capabilities for reactive lighting
• 100+ pre-set effects – plus unlimited custom possibilities

The process is designed to be beginner-friendly, with most of the complexity handled automatically by modern WLED controllers.

About Your LED Strip

• Avoid excessive bending – The neon rope is flexible but don’t create sharp kinks that could damage internal wiring.

What You'll Need

Essential Components

• RGBIC Controller – We recommend the Candeo WLED Controller, though any WLED-compatible or addressable LED controller will work.
• 24V Power Supply – Minimum 1.5A, we recommend 2A (see Power Guide below).

Tools & Materials

• Small Phillips screwdriver (not required for Candeo WLED Controller).
• Wire strippers (for custom connections).
• Mounting clips or adhesive backing.
• Smartphone or computer for setup.
