LED strip lights with RGB colour changing
Bring colour, atmosphere and flexible accent lighting into the room with RGB and RGBW LED strip options. Compare ready-to-use kits, waterproof strips, smart controls and warm-white blends for media walls, bedrooms, display shelving and entertainment spaces.
Featured picks
Choose the right kind of colour-changing strip
The best option depends on how permanent the installation is, whether the strip is exposed to moisture, and how much control you want over scenes and colour temperature. These four picks cover simple plug-and-play mood lighting through to flexible RGBW systems for more considered interiors.
12V 5050 RGB Waterproof Striplight
Use a sealed five metre RGB kit where the installation needs stronger protection, such as covered patios, entertainment areas or decorative outdoor features.

RGBW adds a useful warm-white channel alongside colour, making this a better fit for kitchens, shelving and living spaces that need both everyday light and decorative scenes.

Smart RGBW CCT LED Strip
A flexible smart-lighting route for spaces where app-based control, colour scenes and adjustable white light need to work together in one installation.
View productWhy these work
Build colour into the room without losing everyday usefulness
Colour-changing strip lighting is most successful when the fitting is chosen for the location and the control method is planned before installation. Keep the strip concealed behind a lip, diffuser or furniture edge where possible, and choose the voltage, IP rating and power supply as one system.
For media walls and entertainment spaces
The Philips MyCare kit and RGBW television-focused options make it easy to add a softer halo behind a screen or cabinet. Position the strip out of direct sight so the wall receives the glow rather than the viewer seeing individual LED points.
- Choose RGB for saturated colour scenes and playful effects.
- Choose RGBW when warm white is important for relaxed evening viewing.
- Use a remote or smart controller where scenes need to be changed regularly.
For kitchens, shelving and display joinery
A 24V RGBW strip gives a more versatile result when the same run needs to provide a warm-white working glow during the day and colour accents after dark. Plan a concealed channel, allow space for the driver and check the strip width before ordering aluminium profile or connectors.
- Use warm white for task areas, open shelving and display cabinets.
- Use colour scenes to highlight a bar, media niche or architectural detail.
- Confirm the total strip length and power requirement before selecting the supply.
For protected outdoor and damp-area accents
Waterproof 12V and 24V RGB strips are useful for covered entertainment areas, garden features and other locations where splashes or humidity may be present. A waterproof strip still needs a suitable power supply, sealed connections and sensible cable routing to keep the installation dependable.
- Match the IP rating to the actual exposure, not just the product category.
- Keep joins and power supplies protected from standing water.
- Use a diffuser or channel where the strip is visible from seating areas.
Colour is the accent. Good planning makes it feel intentional.
Use brighter colour for a feature moment, softer tones for background atmosphere and warm white for the hours when the room needs to remain comfortable and practical. Concealed placement, clean joins and the correct driver are what turn a strip into finished lighting rather than a visible line of LEDs.
Need help choosing?
Plan the strip, control and installation together
Share the room, approximate run length, indoor or outdoor location and the effect you want. Future Light can help narrow the strip type, voltage, IP rating and control accessories before you order.
Contact Future LightRGB or RGBW?
RGB is focused on colour effects. RGBW adds a dedicated warm-white channel, making it more suitable where the strip must also provide a comfortable everyday glow.
Do I need a driver?
Most low-voltage strip systems need a compatible power supply. Match the output voltage and allow enough capacity for the full installed length.
Can I use it outdoors?
Choose a strip with an appropriate IP rating and protect the power supply, connectors and joins from moisture. Waterproof tape alone does not make every component outdoor-ready.
How do I avoid harsh dots?
Place the strip behind a lip, in an aluminium channel or behind a diffuser so the room sees an even wash of light rather than exposed LED points.
