BTF-LIGHTING 2.4GHz RF RC03RFB + 4 C04RF Tuya RGBW Controller Kit

In this review of the BTF-LIGHTING kit, the bottom line is simple: it is for DIYers and hobbyists who want straightforward wireless control of multiple 5-wire RGBW LED strips without SPI chips. The kit combines a 2.4GHz RF touch- wheel remote and four Tuya-enabled controllers so users can manage up to four independent zones with a single remote or add Wi-Fi via a separate Tuya gateway. It delivers reliable range and easy grouping for projects that use PWM 5050/3528/5630 FCOB/COB RGBW strips at 5V, 12V, or 24V, but it is not suitable for addressable SPI strips that require embedded IC control.

Key Features

• Compatible Lights: Supports PWM 5050SMD, 3528SMD, 5630SMD and 5-wire RGBW FCOB/COB strips so standard RGBW strips work without modification.
• Group Control: Four-zone group control lets the remote independently control separate areas and synchronize signals between controllers for multi-zone setups.
• 2.4GHz RF Transmission: The RC03RFB remote uses 2.4GHz RF for up to 98 ft open-range control and includes a touch wheel plus buttons for precise color selection.
• Voltage Flexibility: Controllers accept DC 5V, 12V, or 24V inputs, allowing the kit to be used with common LED power supplies for different strip types.
• Tuya Integration: Controllers work with a Tuya GW01W gateway for Smart Life or Tuya Smart app control, enabling voice control and automation when a gateway is added.
• Pack Contents: Ships with 1 remote, 4 controllers, and mounting accessories so basic installation needs are covered out of the box.

Who It's For

This kit is a good fit for homeowners, makers, and installers who want a simple multi-zone RGBW solution for cove lighting, under-cabinet runs, or accent lighting that uses standard PWM RGBW strips. The RF remote and group control make it convenient where Wi-Fi coverage is not desired or a gateway will be added later for smart features.

It is not for people who need addressable effects or individually controlled pixels, because it cannot drive SPI strips like WS2812B, WS2811, SK6812, or other IC-based LED strips. Also, those expecting an included Tuya gateway will need to buy that separately to enable app or voice control.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Easy installation and straightforward pairing suit DIY lighting projects.
• Multi-zone grouping and synchronization provide flexible control for several runs.
• Wide voltage support lets users pair with common 5V, 12V, or 24V power supplies.
• Tuya compatibility enables advanced automations and voice control when a gateway is added.

Cons

• Cannot control addressable SPI LED strips, limiting use to standard PWM RGBW types.
• Some users report mixed build quality and inconsistent color intensity on certain strips.

Specifications

Our Verdict

This BTF-LIGHTING kit is a practical value for anyone installing non-addressable RGBW LED strips across multiple areas who wants reliable RF control with the option to add Tuya smart features later. It is best when paired with compatible PWM strips and an appropriate power supply, but those needing pixel-level effects should look elsewhere.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this kit control WS2812B or other addressable strips?
No. The controllers only support PWM 5-wire RGBW strips and will not work with SPI addressable LED strips like WS2812B.

Does the kit include a Tuya gateway for app control?
No. A Tuya GW01W gateway must be purchased separately to enable Smart Life or Tuya Smart app and voice assistant integration.

What is the maximum wireless range of the remote?
The RC03RFB remote uses 2.4GHz RF and is rated for up to about 98 ft in open environments.
