Can a 0-10V dimmer control RGBW LED strip lights?

I’m planning a bathroom toe-kick lighting project and I’m looking for a trimmable RGBW LED strip that can work with a 0–10V dimming system.
The installation length is around 48–52 inches. I prefer 24V and would like both white lighting and RGB color effects.
I already have a 0–10V wall dimmer installed. Do I just need a driver and RGBW strip, or is there anything else required?

Thanks for sharing your project details.

For this application, a 24V RGBW LED strip would be suitable. A cuttable strip can be sized for your 48–52 inch toe-kick installation and provides both RGB color effects and dedicated white light output.

However, it is important to confirm the control method before selecting the driver and controller.

A standard 0–10V wall dimmer, such as the Leviton ODD10-IDW, is designed to send a 0–10V dimming signal. It does not directly control RGBW color channels.

RGBW systems normally require an RGBW controller to manage:

RGB color channels
White channel
Color selection
Brightness adjustment

I had the same question. I assumed my existing 0–10V dimmer could directly control any LED light, but it sounds like RGBW needs an extra controller.

Yes, 0–10V is mostly used for dimming brightness on white LED fixtures. RGBW is different because you need separate control for colors and white output.
