One control core, nine supporting technologies

Explore the outdoor system technology guide →

APPECK Life brings compatible devices and supported controls together. PL2 is the roofline lighting system built around this experience. ChromaWhite, All-Weather, EvenGlow, StableLink, Dual-Run, SplitHub, Zone Control, FlexFit and AI Create support light quality, installation, control and expansion.

These are system capabilities, not a promise that every APPECK product includes every feature. Confirm the exact model, controller, firmware and required accessories before expanding. PL2 light bodies are IP67; check the separate ratings of the controller, power supply and connections.

ChromaWhite: everyday white and celebration color

With compatible PL2 RGBCW lights, adjust white light from 2700K to 6500K or switch to RGB color effects. Use warm white for a relaxed evening, then choose a colorful scene for a holiday or gathering.

Zone Control: give each part of your roofline its own look

PL2 supports individual-light addressing and up to four independent lighting zones. Configure the zones to match your installation, then customize colors, brightness and supported effects for different parts of your home.

Plan the physical layout, output lengths and compatible branch accessories before configuring the zones. Zone control does not make controllers, power supplies or light strings interchangeable.

AI Create: make an idea your own lighting effect

On PL2, enter a text prompt to create an AI-assisted lighting effect, then preview, adjust and save it as a custom preset. Built-in scenes and DIY controls give you additional ways to personalize your lighting.

Preview the result and adjust it to suit your home before applying it to your compatible lights.

Choose the right connection

2.4GHz Wi-Fi

Connect PL2 to a compatible 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network for connected smart features. Alexa and Google Assistant require the appropriate network connection and setup.

Bluetooth direct control on PL2

Use a nearby phone for supported local control without Wi-Fi. Bluetooth local control does not mean every connected service works offline. Follow the model-specific guide for schedules, AI features and other connection requirements.

Schedules and favorite scenes

Use supported schedule and scene controls to simplify everyday operation. Check your controller's instructions for schedule requirements and available Auto Play settings.

Before replacing a controller: match the model, hardware generation, system voltage, connection and supported light count. Installing a different app cannot convert an incompatible controller.

Compatibility is determined by the exact product and controller, not by when you purchased it. A shared brand name does not guarantee shared-app control or synchronized effects across products.
