Controllers & Control BoxesGC08 Configurable Permanent Lighting Control Box
Evaluate this product as part of a complete permanent outdoor lighting system, branded range or OEM/ODM program.
Product information
GC08 brings power conversion and lighting control into one configurable enclosure platform. Select voltage and capacity with the roofline fixture family, then confirm individual output limits, branch protection, cable pinout and software requirements for the project.
Standard Configuration Matrix
| Output Voltage | 350W | 600W |
|---|---|---|
| 12V | GC08-12-350 | GC08-12-600 |
| 24V | GC08-24-350 | GC08-24-600 |
| 36V | GC08-36-350 | GC08-36-600 |
| 48V | GC08-48-350 | GC08-48-600 |
How to Select GC08
- Choose the required system voltage: 12V, 24V, 36V or 48V.
- Choose 350W or 600W based on the approved project load and branch architecture.
- Match the roofline light, track, cable set and signal accessories to the selected system.
- Confirm the required control platform, firmware and App route for the project.
Current Roofline System Match
- 12V: C5204-A
- 24V: C5204-B / C5205 / P23A
- 36V: C5204-C
- 48V: C5206
GC08 as the Control Hub of the Complete System
GC08 should be evaluated as part of the complete permanent lighting architecture rather than as a standalone controller. The selected enclosure, power stage, branch layout, signal path, light family and software route are reviewed together before production.
| System Layer | Typical G&D SMART Component | Project Decision |
|---|---|---|
| Power & control | GC08 12V / 24V / 36V / 48V, 350W or 600W | Voltage, capacity, output architecture and protection |
| Cable distribution | SH-M12A extension, Y and T cables | Branch layout, connector pinout and cable length |
| Signal management | SFQ0401 signal amplifier where required | Signal distance and placement based on the approved layout |
| Roofline fixtures | C5204 / C5205 / P23A / C5206 | Voltage, spacing, light engine and track |
| Software layer | Selected control-platform route | Controller, firmware, App functions and branding requirements |

Hardware Platform, Software Route
GC08 is the hardware platform. G&D SMART treats the control software as a separate project layer so the selected controller, firmware and App requirements can be reviewed without presenting one software route as universal for every customer.
Available project routes can include the G&D SMART control platform, WLED-compatible control, Surplife, Tuya-based control and XLights-oriented integration. Actual compatibility depends on the controller, firmware, fixture protocol, channel order and electrical architecture selected for the project.

Engineering & Validation
For the selected GC08 configuration, confirm the final AC input range, output-channel architecture, individual branch limits, protection functions, connector layout, enclosure/environmental rating, firmware compatibility and certification scope in the project documentation. General G&D SMART reliability evidence does not replace GC08 model-specific validation.
Manufacturing & reliability evidence · Class 2 & control-box documentation
Project-Specific Configuration
GC08 is a configurable control-box platform. The project specification confirms the AC input range, output-channel architecture, connector layout, enclosure/IP rating, protection functions, dimensions, certification scope and firmware compatibility for the selected voltage and capacity.

Published model specifications
Catalog references for evaluation. Confirm the current model specification and approved revision before ordering. Empty fields have not been confirmed.
| Model number | GC08 |
|---|---|
| Voltage options (V DC) | 12 / 24 / 36 / 48 |
| Published power / capacity (W) | 350.0 / 600.0 |
| Certification verification status | Confirm the model-specific certification record, product markings and scope for the supplied configuration before approval. |
| Verified wet / damp / dry rating | Confirm the project location rating against the model-specific listing, markings and installation instructions. IP rating alone does not establish wet/damp suitability. |
| Verified Class 2 status | Confirm Class 2 status against the selected power source, output architecture and model-specific documentation. |
| OEM / ODM scope | Discuss fixture or enclosure branding, product revisions and the complete roofline-system bill of materials. Feasibility, minimum quantities and validation scope are confirmed in the quotation. |
