A great RGB controller features the following advantages: abundant functions,How to Choose The Correct RGB LED Strip Controller Articles user-friendly interface, easy operations, high reliability and stability. There are many types of RGB controller available in the market, but most of them can not meet all the above requirements.

 

Actually LED controller is a control system that consists of a control signal (control unit) and a controller that receives the signal and converts the signal to PWM signal to dim and switch the connected lights. The one we directly operate and affect users’ experience is the control signal instead of the controller, and the controllers available in the market are similar.

 

So we just discuss the control unit with the above mentioned advantages. Abundant functions mean switching, dimming (each of the R, G, B channels independently), RGB color tone adjustment, dynamic changing patterns, multi zone control (synchronously or separately), scene and color saving function and so on.

 

User-friendly interface means that the control interface shall be easily understood by human beings, the function of each key shall be clear at one glance. Easy operations means that the operations shall be done within the shortest time at the most simple way, for instance push button operation is not as easy as press key, but press key is not as easy as touch control. Touch control is the best one, and control signals for touch control are available with RF wireless, DMX, DALI and 0/1-10V.

 

High reliability and stability means that the signal sending shall be reliable and stable without interference, for instance RF/WiFi wireless signal is not as stable and reliable as DMX, DALI and 0/1-10V signals since RF signal is sent by radio frequency and can be interfered by nearby frequency and DMX, DALI and 0/1-10V signals are transferred by wire and can not be interfered. For home lighting control, RF is enough since you can choose a frequency that does not conflict with other frequencies.

 

So to sum it up, RF touch control signal is the best choice that meets the above mentioned requirements for RGB LED strip for home lighting.
