The controller still sends the dimming signal — the repeater drives the strip from its own power supply, so the controller’s output limit stops mattering. The controller powers the first stretch of strip directly; each repeater powers the next, in series or parallel, without limit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color:var(--text)\"\u003eWhen do you need one?\u003c\/strong\u003e Our 24V CCT strip draws 14.4W per metre. A 5-metre run is 72W — 3A at 24V, comfortably within the controller. Stretch that to 20 metres and it becomes 288W — 12A — more than the controller should carry, so you split the run and let a repeater carry the rest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe EV4 is the RGBW-run repeater: four 5A channels that pair channel-for-channel with a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/wt5-wifi-rf-controller\" style=\"color:var(--accent)\"\u003eWT5\u003c\/a\u003e driving RGBW strip — up to about 400W of RGBW strip (roughly 100W per channel) once you allow the 20% safety buffer.
