LED strip for around pool edge

Got a buddy I work with (we're both sparkies) and he's installing a pool and wants lighting under the edge of the tile coping around the pool (and in his gardens). He knows I have dabbled with wled before and was asking me about the setup his installer is recommending.

Not only is it wildly expensive, but also plain rgb with no white. And all through some heavily proprietary controller.

He wants reasonably plug and play, so I was recommending he just buy a 48v (his longest string is about 16m) waterproof strip and an athom wled controller.

Anyone able to recommend a good strip? He likes the smooth neon strip style, and it will need to be able to bend around etc.

And I only ever use the athom slim controller (I only ever have short runs in 12v strips), so a good recommendation for a nice controller would be great too!

Thanks all

Charging through Hub A1 via EV station

G'day all.

I have 3x apexs connected via a Hub A1.

Now bluetti lists being able to charge the system from an EV station at 11.5kw..

Has anyone tried this yet?

I'm in Australia, and I can't find anything on the Aussie website for it, only the EU page and the US page..

But I've yet to find a single person having had test it.

If you have the cable, what sort of connector does it use? Can I grab an EU cable and use it in Aus?

Any help would be great
