Led Controller

What is an LED Controller?

An LED light controller, also known as an LED remote, is used to set and control the brightness of your LED lighting. A dimmer light switch reduces the amount of power going to the lighting source, hence lowering glare and sharp beams. The bulbs they are powering, use less energy when the dimmer is set to a lower setting. However, it requires a different number of output channels to control the LED strip lights. The LED controller has a receiver—the receiving end of the remote—that converts the signals from WiFi, Bluetooth, or radio frequency into something the LED needs to dim or change colors. An RGB controller adjusts the relative intensities of the three primary colors—red, green, and blue—and combines them to produce any desired color.

Types of LED Light Controllers

There are different types of LED controllers; wireless or wired LED controllers, programmable LED controllers, single or multi-color LED strip controllers, DMX LED controllers, RGB controllers, and so on. A smartphone can control some LED light controllers. A basic light dimmer can adjust how bright and fast colors change in dynamic modes.

Wired LED light controllers are put between the LED driver and LED strip lights and must be physically accessed to change the lighting effects. A wireless light switch has a transmitter that sends signals to receivers that control the LED strip. These signals can be used to adjust brightness, change the order of LED strip lights, dim the light, etc. Wireless controllers come in a variety: a WiFi LED controller, a Bluetooth LED controller, an IR LED controller (infrared rays), and an RF LED controller (radio frequencies).

Can You Use Different LED Controllers?

One can use different LED light remotes for the same LED system. However, the controller you use last determines your LEDs’ setting. The LED controller controls the power source that the lights are connected to, not the lights themselves. So regardless of what the light strips are made of, if they have the same voltage as the light controller, they can be controlled by it.
