SCENARIO
Customer wants to replace his existing single color 19' LED awning light with a multi-color awning light (and all the features it comes with – eg: Bluetooth wireless control) but doesn't want to give up use of the existing on/off wall switch to provide white light whenever that wall switch is turned on.
SOLUTION
Replace the existing single color awning light with a 16' and a 3' Boogey Lights multi-color (rgb) LED awning light. Butt the two strips together so it gives the appearance of a single 19' strip. The power lead from the far left LED strip (the 3' segment) doubles back over the top of the awning near the gutter. More about this on the video. Then, to operate the strips using the existing OEM switch, connect the existing 12vdc + (hot) switched connection from the existing on/off wall switch to a group of 3 SPDT (or SPST) relays. When that on/off wall switch is turned on, 12vdc power is supplied to each of the RGB power leads (Red, Green, Blue) via the relay which creates the color white. Note: Equal amounts of RED + GREEN + BLUE = WHITE. When the switch is turned off, that 12vdc power is cut (the three relays open) and the light turns off. For multi-color operation, connect the Boogey Lights LED Controller power lead output to the input power leads of the LED strip on the awning light. Doing so will allow you to control the Boogey Lights awning light via the LED controller.
ONE CAVEAT: The on/off wall switch will over-ride any functionality of the Boogey Lights LED controller. If the wall switch is ON, the led awning light will only display bright white – nothing else. That wall switch has to be turned off before you can use the Boogey Lights LED controller to access any of the capabilities or features of the LED controller (e.g. multi-color, strobing, dimming, flashing, Bluetooth integration, etc.)
