The ILED-DM3 D is a 4-zone RGBW controller for LED strip lights, run from a phone app over Bluetooth. It drives four channels, each at 4A, so you can run up to four zones of strip from one controller, and set the colour and the level for each zone from the app. It is the pick where you want the light to follow you from the phone, rather than from a switch on the wall.
What it does
The unit sits next to the strip and drives four channels, which is what an RGBW strip needs, one for red, one for green, one for blue and one for white. You mix the colour channels for any colour, and run the white channel on its own for a plain white. Each of the four zones gets its own control from the app, so four runs of strip are set from one point, with the colour and the level from where you stand.
Aperçu des caractéristiques techniques
The controller takes a 12 to 24V DC supply for the strip and gives four channels at 4A each, so the maximum load is 144W at 12V and 288W at 24V. The dimming runs from 0 to 100 percent, and the control is over a phone app over Bluetooth, or by a push-button. Power comes in on a DC2.1 or a screw terminal, and the control switch runs on a battery. The receiver is 86 by 84 by 60mm at 45g, and it works from -30 to 55 degrees.
The four zones
The controller runs four zones, each on its own channel at 4A, so you can drive up to four separate runs of strip, or one RGBW strip plus three more zones, from the one unit. Each zone has its own colour and its own level in the app, so a living room, a kitchen, a hallway and a cove can all run at different settings, changed from the phone. Work the load against 144W at 12V or 288W at 24V, so each channel stays under its 4A.
Colour and dimming
The four channels mix red, green, blue and white, so the strip gives any colour and a plain white, and each channel is dimmed from 0 to 100 percent. The dimming is flicker-free, so the light does not pulse or shimmer as you change the level, which is the difference between a strip that sits still and one that twitches. You set the colour and the level in the app.
App and battery switch
The control is over a phone app, over Bluetooth, so you set the colour and the level from where you stand, and the switch that drives it runs on a battery, so the control point does not need mains wiring. It is the point of it, because a room is lit from where you stand, not from a fixed switch.
Connections
The supply comes in on a DC2.1 plug or a screw terminal, so you wire it the way the rest of the install is run. The four channels go out to the strip, one per channel, and you match the leads to the outputs. Keep the wiring clean and the strip the right voltage, and the controller runs it from the app.
Contenu de la boîte
Each set ships as the receiver and the battery switch, with the DC2.1 and the screw terminal on the receiver. You wire the supply and the four channels on your end, and the app is the part you use to set the colour and the level for each zone.
Ce que vous devez fournir
You will need a DC supply at 12V or 24V, matched to the strip, sized for the total load on the controller, which is up to 144W at 12V or 288W at 24V. You also need the RGBW strip it is driving, and a phone to run the app, and you match the four channels to the strip leads.
Où est-il utilisé ?
Because it is a 4-zone RGBW control over an app, it shows up in home lighting, where a cove, a kitchen and a hallway each run their own colour and level, in entertainment spaces, and in architectural work where the light should follow you. It is the pick where you want to set the light from the phone, and the four zones let one controller run four runs at once.
Reliability
It carries up to 144W at 12V or 288W at 24V, so it drives a real load, and the flicker-free dimming keeps the light steady. It is rated to work from -30 to 55 degrees, which covers a normal indoor space, and the 45g receiver is small enough to sit next to the strip without taking up space.
