LED light controller is a great supplementary to LED lighting, which enables higher energy efficiency and more lighting possibilities. With an LED controller, switching, dimming, color choosing, color running for LED lamps are possible. The right moods for different atmospheres can be created.

Different LED light controllers are available for different types of LED lighting. For instance,LED Light Controller Makes LED Light More Energy Efficient Articles controllers for AC input LEDs and DC input LEDs are different. Controllers for mono chrome, dual colors and RGB/RGBW LEDs are different.

 

Generally Triac or phase-cut controllers are suitable for AC LEDs and PWM controllers are suitable for DC LEDs. Mono chrome LEDs requires at least one channel output of the controller, dual colors LEDs (warm white and cold white) requires at least two channels output for the two colors, and RGB ones requires 3 channels, RGBW requires 4 channels at least.

 

To control the LED light controller, a control unit that sends out control signal is required and all operations are executed by the unit. Different types of control signal are available for the LED light controller, for instance, RF/WiFi (wireless), DMX, DALI (digital addressable lighting interface), 0/1-10V and so on. 0/1-10V and DMX are the traditional ones with decades of history, they are reliable and stable. RF/WiFi and DALI are the emerging ones, they are more intelligent and meet the trends of smart home and home automation. Once you choose a control signal, the dimmer shall be designed with the corresponding control interface and in compliance the protocol.

 

The control signal is also available in different styles including traditional rotary knob, push switch, new remote control with keys, wall mounted touch panel etc. Touch panel control is the latest style that enables users to do all operations by simple finger touch. Turning on/off the lights, adjusting brightness, adjusting colors and playing running modes all can be done by one finger.

 

LED light controller with RF control is a wireless system that enables users to control their LED lighting remotely. It is a great solution for smart home lighting. You can eliminate all the clumsy traditional switches and just one remote and several controllers are enough for your entire house. Once remote can control several areas with multiple controllers in each area, what you need to do is just paring them correctly. The control distance can be up to 20 meters.
