What the NLSW-2520 Does
The NLSW-2520 is a professional RGBWW wall washer built for architectural lighting where colour and control matter. Mount it at the base or top of a wall and its output grazes across the surface in any hue — from a warm amber wash to a deep ocean blue to a fully dynamic colour-changing scene. The LED source is hidden inside the silicone body; only the wash on the wall is visible.
Five independent LED channels — Red, Green, Blue, Warm White, and Cool White — give it the full range of colour and white light from a single strip. DMX512 control connects it to any professional lighting controller for scene programming, synchronised multi-zone effects, and live show cues. The 3D-bending silicone body and IP67 rating mean it installs on curved walls, building facades, and outdoor architectural surfaces without compromise.

Five Channels. Every Colour. Every White.
Each channel is independently controlled over DMX512 — mix any combination for any output.
One Strip — Colour, Warm White & Cool White
When only the white channels are active, the NLSW-2520 produces a pure, clean wall wash with no colour cast — identical to a dedicated white wall washer. Blend warm and cool white for any colour temperature from 2700K to 6500K. Activate the RGB channels and the wall takes on any hue in the visible spectrum. All from the same strip, on the same DMX universe.
DMX512 — Professional Scene Control
DMX512 is the industry standard for professional lighting control. It allows a lighting controller to address each fixture individually, programme multi-zone colour sequences, set scene transitions with precise timing, and trigger live cues from a console. For architectural wall washing, this means programmed sunrise effects, building-wide colour synchronisation, event lighting scenes, and branded colour liveries — all recalled at the press of a button.
