Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly do LED controllers do?

They're the brains behind your LED lighting! Controllers let you adjust brightness, change colours (for RGB strips), create effects like fading or flashing, set timers, and generally customise how your lights behave. Think of them as the remote control for your telly, but for your lights instead. The basic ones just handle dimming, while the fancier models can create thousands of colours and patterns – some even let you control your lights from your phone!

Which controller do I need for my LED strips?

Good question! It depends on what type of LED strips you have. For single-colour strips (just white or a fixed colour), you need a simple dimmer controller. For RGB strips that can change colours, you'll need an RGB controller. For RGBW strips (that have dedicated white LEDs for better whites), you'll need an RGBW controller. The voltage needs to match too – typically 12V or 24V. Not sure what you've got? Just give us a shout with the model of your strips, and we'll point you to the right controller!

Do I need different controllers for different rooms?

Not necessarily! It really depends on how you want to control your lights. If you want all rooms to do the same thing, one controller can handle multiple LED strips (up to its maximum wattage). If you want to control different rooms independently, then yes, you'll need separate controllers. Many of our WiFi controllers can be set up in groups, too – so you can control them all together or individually from your phone.

What's the difference between IR, RF and WiFi controllers?

Great question! IR (infrared) controllers are like your TV remote – they need line of sight to work, so they're best for single-room setups where you can point the remote directly at the receiver. RF (radio frequency) controllers work through walls and furniture, giving you more flexibility – no need to point the remote! WiFi controllers connect to your home internet, allowing you to control your lights from your phone or tablet, even when you're not at home. They can also work with voice assistants like Alexa and Google Home.

How difficult are controllers to install?

They're actually dead easy! Most controllers sit between your power supply and your LED strips. It's usually just a matter of connecting a few wires or plugging in some connectors – no special tools or technical knowledge needed. Our WiFi controllers might need a bit of setup with their app, but it's just a matter of following simple on-screen instructions. If you can set up a new mobile phone, you can definitely set up one of our controllers!

Can I control my LED lights with my phone?

Absolutely! Our WiFi and Bluetooth controllers let you control your lights from your smartphone or tablet. Simply download the free app (usually mentioned in the product description), connect to your controller, and you're good to go! You can adjust brightness, colours, and effects right from your device. Many of our WiFi controllers also work with smart home systems like Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and Apple HomeKit, so you can even control your lights with voice commands!

What's a DMX controller?

DMX controllers are the professional-grade lighting controllers used in theatres, clubs, and concert venues. They offer incredibly precise control over multiple lighting fixtures and can create complex, synchronized light shows. While they're a bit more technical to set up than our standard controllers, they're perfect for commercial installations or serious home entertainment setups where you want that professional-level control. We offer DMX controllers for those special projects where ordinary controllers just won't cut it!

Do your controllers remember settings after a power cut?

Most of our controllers will indeed remember their last setting when power is restored after a cut. This is particularly useful for businesses or areas prone to power fluctuations. Our more advanced controllers even have memory functions to store multiple favourite settings or scenes that you can recall at the touch of a button. For the ultimate peace of mind, our WiFi controllers store their settings in the cloud, so they'll always return to exactly how you had them set up!

Can I use controllers with other brands of LED strips?

In most cases, yes! LED strips generally follow standard protocols, so our controllers will work with most brands of LED strips as long as the voltage (12V/24V) and type (single-colour/RGB/RGBW) match. The only exceptions might be some proprietary systems or specialised pixel-addressable strips that need specific controllers. If you're not sure whether a controller will work with your existing strips, just drop us a message with the details of your strips, and we'll advise!
