WWA Addressable CCT Controller

10 products

Addressable WWA (White + Warm White + Amber) and CCT (Tunable White) controllers are specifically engineered to drive digital IC pixel chips, transforming standard dual-color lighting into dynamic, segmented white-light experiences. These pixel-control CCT units enable independent color tuning, smooth running-water chasing, gradual sunrise/sunset fades, and localized natural light simulations along a single strip.

SuperLightingLED™ WWA Addressable CCT Controller Series is custom-designed for digital LED strips utilizing 2-channel white color lights, typically warm white 2700K and cool white 6500K, with SM16703, FW1903, SK6812, WS2818 ICs. We also offer special three-channel white addressable light strips like the TM1934 model and the UCS1903 model, which require you to use a pixel controller with three-channel white support.

To ensure flawless integration, please check your LED strip's pinout and IC specification. Before installation, verify whether your pixel strip features a 2-channel (two white lights, 2-in-1) or 3-channel (three white lights, 3-in-1) IC chip protocol to configure the correct channel sequence in your controller setup.

What Do WWA and Addressable CCT Mean?

WWA generally refers to dual-color temperature 5050 LED packages (such as the SK6812 WWA), where a single 5050 LED houses an amber component, a white component, and an integrated SK6812 IC chip. This configuration allows you to output an ultra-warm 1800K light, a crisp 6500K cool white, or any blended neutral color temperature—such as 3500K or 5000K—by adjusting the intensity ratio between the two light sources.

While addressable CCT refers to the pixel-programmable version of adjustable-white LEDs with a color temperature range of 2700K–6500K.

2-Channel White vs. 3-Channel White

In addressable pixel lighting, each distinct color chip corresponds to an individual control channel:

2-Channel White: Features two distinct color temperatures on the strip (e.g., 1800K + 6500K, 2700K + 6500K, or 3000K + 6500K.

3-Channel White: Features three dedicated white/amber channels per LED (e.g., 3000K + 4500K + 6500K, 2800K + 3000K + 4000K, or 2700K + 5500K + 10000K for an ultra-wide spectrum and finer dynamic tuning.

FAQ: WWA Addressable CCT Controllers

Your questions about controlling tunable white pixel tape, answered by an engineer.

A regular CCT controller changes the whole strip's color temperature at once. A WWA addressable CCT controller lets you control the color temperature of *each individual LED* on the strip. This is how you get effects like a warm white 'chase' flowing into a cool white, or different sections of the same strip showing different temperatures. 

Not just any. The WWA addressable CCT controller must support the specific IC chip on your LED strip. The most common ones for addressable CCT are SK6812-CCT and WS2811 / UCS1903. Check the product specs for both your strip and the controller to make sure the ICs match. 

This is almost always a setup issue in the app. A new WWA addressable CCT controller needs to be told exactly what kind of strip it's running. You have to go into the settings and correctly enter the IC type (like SK6812-WWA) and the total number of pixels on your strip. If the pixel count is wrong or the IC type is set to something like RGB, it won't know how to address the CCT diodes correctly.

Yes, that's exactly what they're designed for. The better WWA addressable CCT controllers with WiFi or Bluetooth app control allow you to build custom scenes and schedules. You can program a slow, automated shift from a warm, dim 2700K in the morning to a bright, cool 6500K at midday, then back down to a very warm 1800K in the evening to match your natural body clock.

Absolutely. This is non-negotiable. If you have a 24V addressable CCT strip, you must use a 24V controller and a 24V power supply. If you connect a 12V strip to a 24V setup, you will instantly burn out the LEDs. If you do it the other way (24V strip on a 12V supply), it will be extremely dim or won't light up at all. Always match the voltages across the entire system.

You can, but not directly. A WWA addressable CCT controller speaks SPI (the language of the pixels), while your console speaks DMX. You need a bridge between them. You would connect your DMX console to a DMX-to-SPI decoder. The decoder then connects to the WWA strip's data line. This setup translates the DMX channels into pixel control signals, letting your high-end lighting board run complex, synchronized scenes on the strip.
