Description
  • GLEDOPTO GL-C-616WL – WLED Controller with ESP32, UART and Ethernet

    The GLEDOPTO GL-C-616WL is a powerful WLED controller based on the ESP32, offering both WiFi and Ethernet connectivity for flexible and stable smart lighting integration. It supports control of up to two digital LED strips in parallel, making it suitable for advanced lighting projects and creative installations.

    The controller features a UART Type-C interface for flashing and configuration and is compatible with popular pixel LED chipsets including WS2812B, WS2815, SK6812, UCS2903B and SM16703. Control is handled via the WLED App on iOS and Android, with support for music-synchronised effects through the integrated AudioReactive microphone.

    It operates on a wide DC input voltage range of 5 to 24 V, delivers up to 15 A total output, and supports up to 10 A per channel. For safety and efficiency, it includes an integrated relay and fuse. Network setup can be completed via WiFi or a wired Ethernet connection, with full configuration available through the WLED web interface.

    The GL-C-616WL is ideal for digital LED strip lighting, Ambilight-style setups, smart home integrations, and ESP32-based DIY projects where reliability and performance are essential.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between IP65, IP67, and IP68?

IP65 handles surface splashes only and is not suitable for UK outdoor conditions or bathroom wet zones under BS7671. IP67 is rated for temporary immersion and covers outdoor garden installations, most bathroom zones, and exposed architectural features. IP68 handles continuous submersion for ponds, fountains, and fully exposed outdoor applications. For most UK garden and decking projects, IP67 is the correct choice.

Can I cut this product to a custom length?

Yes. ATOM LED products can be cut at the marked cut points without voiding the warranty. Many competitors restrict cuts to 50–100mm intervals, which wastes offcuts on tight custom runs. Use sharp scissors or a craft knife for a clean cut, then seal the end with a suitable end cap.

What size driver do I need?

Multiply the total metres by the wattage per metre, then add 20% headroom. For example: 10 metres of 24V neon flex at 9W/m = 90W total, so you need a minimum 108W driver. Never load a driver above 80% capacity for long-term reliability.

Should I choose 12V, 24V, or 48V?

Choose 12V for caravans, cars, boats, and any project powered by a 12V battery. Choose 24V for most home and trade installs where you need dependable run length with lower voltage drop. Choose 48V for longer architectural runs where extra distance and single-feed flexibility matter. For underwater or submerged installs, use IP68 Waterproof lights and the correct driver for that product; do not use 48V underwater.

What is your warranty?

ATOM LED offers product-specific warranties: up to 7 years on single-colour COB strip, 5 years on RGB and RGBW COB strip, and 4 years on LED neon flex. The warranty covers manufacturing defects. Call 01952 370028 for warranty claims.

Do you offer free delivery?

Yes. Free UK delivery on 97% of products via Royal Mail 48-hour tracked. Free next day delivery on Mainland UK orders over £90 (order by 1pm, Mon–Fri).
