Many users of LED strip lights, especially users of addressable led strip, choose WLED controls because WLED program allows users to set the tape lighting effect according to their own needs, which is very DIY. And WLED is an open source project with a large online community where users can share their LED strip projects, effects and settings, and get inspiration and help through the community. For DIY led strip lights, this is an important advantage of using WLED controller.
These Gledopto WLED controllers are compatible with multiple color types of DC 5V 12V 24V digital led strips, such as WS281X family, SK6812, and other RGBICs and RGBWICs, WS2805 and FW1906 RGBCCT ICs, and single white ICs. The maximum output of a single WLED led controller is 800 pixels and 15A current and two data output ports (GPIO16/GPIO1, GPIO2), some models are even equipped with DIY ports (IO33/IO14/IO12) to connect additional push switches and sensors. Also available with wireless handheld remote control.
Currently common WLED control individual lights methods can be divided into two main types: WLED control board and WLED led controller. WLED controler will be relatively simple in wiring, through the screws or hand press the wiring port can be fixed the light strip wire. Mini WLED controller even comes with a 3 pin JST quick connector to connect the pixel led strip more conveniently. All of our WLED controllers are WIFI enabled, you can adjust the LED strip light using your smartphone app, tablet, web page, or via Home Assistant, Alexa voice assistant.
WLED APP supports both ESP32 and ESP8266 microcontroller chips. Compared with ESP8266, the performance advantage of ESP32 can support microphone function makes it better in led strip lighting control which needs audio driver. WLED compatible controller with MIC can capture the music or sound in the environment in real time and dynamically adjust the brightness, color and light effect mode of the light strip according to the audio frequency and rhythm.
