RGBW Controller Bluetooh Switch 4 Zones 4 Channels ILED-DM3 D

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.

Tekniska specifikationer i korthet

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.

Vad finns i förpackningen

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.

Vad du behöver ta med dig

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.

Var den används

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.

Here is what installers tell us they like about the ILED-DM3 D:

Four zones on one controller. It drives up to four runs of strip, each with its own colour and level, so a whole room or a building is controlled from one point, changed from the app.

Control from the phone. It runs over a phone app over Bluetooth, so you set the colour and the level from where you stand, not from a switch on the wall.

The switch runs on a battery. The control point does not need mains wiring, which is the pick where you do not want to run power to the control.

Fine, flicker-free dimming. It runs 0 to 100 percent on each channel without pulsing or shimmering, so the light sits still at every level.

Enough for a real strip. At 4A per channel it carries up to 144W at 12V or 288W at 24V, which is a working capacity for a commercial strip load.

A 4-zone RGBW controller with app control like this one is used where you want to set the light from the phone:

Home lighting. A cove, a kitchen line and a hallway each run their own colour and level from one controller, so the whole house is set from where you stand, without a switch on the wall.

Entertainment spaces. A media room or a lounge changes the colour to suit the film or the mood, so the light moves with the room instead of staying fixed.

Under-cabinet and cove lines. A multi-zone cove gets its own level on each zone, so the kitchen counter and the feature wall run at different strengths from the app.

Commercial interiors. A shop or a reception sets the ambient to suit the day, so the work hours run bright and the evening runs warmer, all easily from the phone.

Architectural lines. A facade or a feature wall runs as a colour line that changes on command, and the four zones let one controller drive the separate runs that make up the whole line.

A few things to check before you wire it up:

Match the supply voltage. The strip runs on 12 to 24V DC, so use the voltage the strip runs on. Feeding it the wrong voltage, or the wrong one for the strip, will not run it correctly.

Size the load. Each channel is 4A and the total is 144W at 12V or 288W at 24V. Add up the strip load and keep it under that, and size the supply for it, or the controller will overload.

Match the channels to the zones. The four outputs go to the strip, one per channel, so wire each channel to the right lead, or the zones will run on the wrong colour.

Pair the app. The control is over a phone app, so pair it before you set the install away, and check each zone answers, so you are not debugging a room that is already wired up.

Keep the receiver dry. It works to 55 degrees and the switch runs on a battery, so keep the receiver off a wet surface and out of the weather, which is the usual spot for a control unit.
