What is the controller for the LED strip and how can we choose it
Title: Svetlinna LED strip 
For yes, work with multi-color LED strip, you need a special controller. If you are looking for brightening and shining in various colors or adjusting the brightness and shankata on an RGB lamp from a remote control, you cannot do without it. Takiva lenti chesto se montirat in cola; te sa nai is just neon lighting. Let's take a look at how we can choose a controller for your LED strip.

Protect your needs from the controller
controller for led tape
A single-color LED strip is not an artificial controller, it's just that it is stored together, it is sometimes marked DC12V for 12-volt models, but the tape is different in voltage, so you can choose the appropriate storage. According to the principle of distribution, model 12 - 24 V, and instances with high voltage are quite exotic. Know it and type of LED strip for a direct connection to a 220 V grid, but not all will be offered in the RGB version.
wiring diagram on LED tape
The controller playing the roles on the switches on the chains from the consumer’s protected camera. There are three rows of LEDs on the tape, which are distinguished by color or and rub the colors in the direction where the crystal is separated into a single LED housing, for example type 5050:
- Green.
- Syn.
- Cherven.
The controllers are offered in various designs, including seals, which show a degree of protection between water and dust under the IPxx format, and IP20 is not sensitive, it cannot be used outdoors or in damp rooms, and IP68 is not well protected. Lenten here, they offer varying degrees of protection and self-marking for the beginnings. For some reason, the manufacturers use the sign to disassemble it, inscription “Waterproof” for water resistance on the device.
Species Controller

Veche spomenahme, che controllers are different, but they perform similar tasks - switching on flowering and regulating the intensity of radiance to them. Those are different:
- By type of performance (protection from environmental conditions and non-protection);
- According to the type of installation (with open for installation on a self-tapping screw, or on a Din rail, etc.).
- By starting to control (remote control, push button to the controller or other wireless radio technologies, such as control from a smartphone via WiFi).
Check on the DIN slats of the forestry for integration into the electrical panel. The control panels are very different from the device, which uses the infrared port for signal transmission and radio transmission. At this time, the remote control can be set to automatic mode or manually set to color and brightness. When you select a device, be careful to distinguish between copies and their own functions for control and connection. And the necessary function may simply not be available.
There are many types of remote control available. Nay-evtiniyat variant e butonno device with infrared LED cato traitor. That ima is lacking, eat it like a product.For example, a system of more response itself, just put the remote control of the receiver on the controller, sometimes select and adjust the mode for operation. Upgrade the models in the kit to hold devices for sensory control.
Interesting model:
Mini controller Ecola RF 6 A, work from 12 - 24V, sometimes save from 12 V, you can let it burn 72 W, and at 24 V - 144 W LED light. I used remote radio with butoni (RF) for tuning. Ima is a lot of small connector for svyarzvane kjm vashata chain. Change the colors to highlight and act as a cato dimer.

It may be even more inconvenient to use a remote control, such as instead of a key for clarification or a controller for installation. Those tryabva and that will fit harmoniously into your interior. Arrange for control can be used potentiometer, encoder, butoni, sensor panel. Work and function on such a model as a gangway, distinguish itself in performance.
How to choose a controller for LED strip
controllers for led tape
When you choose an RGB controller, if you pay attention to the voltage, then even if the voltage is stored, for example, 12 V. This is the cost of switching on the voltage. That kazva, what is not necessary for this connection to the verigata 24 V. It is possible and more work, but not a fact, than work for a long time, or yama and burn out instantly. Detailed information for the enclosures is shown in the columns "Voltage" (voltage, V) and Current (current, A).
The next step is to select the current controller. For yes, send a friend, tryabva, and decide how to turn on the frame and yes, calculate the current consumption.For example, for a tape from type 5050, the current consumption is approximately 1.2 - 1.3 A per 1 meter.
With regard to the marking of the net for storage:
PSU sa markrani from the view:
- DC12V-12A - input voltage - 12 volts, output current up to 12 A.
- DC12V-18A - initial voltage - 12 volts, current up to 18 A.
Maybe even a little different, vinagi is similar to the general view. Take up tova foresight at the election to store the block and the external mu pregled.
If you have a controller for the necessary current, use the amplifier for the RGB tape. The control signals (prevention warning) from the pre-discharge tape or from the main controller and with the help of an additional storage continue and shine the backlight of a dispute similar to a program for your controller.
That is, the strength of the signal from the controller, for more powerful lighting of the body with the help of additional security. It’s convenient, like tryabva and mount the installation for a long distance, you can somehow hurry up the cable (which will cut the input to the amplifier from the edge to the tape and start to the next exit), so it’s time for cabled electrical wiring - additionally protect it from finding close to 220 V.
The next step will draw your attention to the design on the back. At the stage of selection on the component and in the evening, decide where to install. Ako is working all perversely closed, for example, the top of the decoration on the cafe, most likely there is no need to seal the model for storage and controllers.
Brief summary:
Set for work (set) RGB-LED strip sestoy from: samata tape, zakhranvane, controller... If it is necessary to twist both tapes for synchronous work in the system, use additionally: amplifier for rgb tape and another 12V stored… The last task is to transform and stabilize the voltage from 220 V to 12.
Connected to the controller kjm LED tape
jump from the controller
Connected to the controller is a twisted nai-good through RGB conektori for mounting on a tape, protected in a barzo and in a forest for repairs from soldering. After adding a segment, place the connector on the edges on the ribbonate spored verigite enough. Spore schematic (terminal on the block e contact loop at the top of the ribbon).
- Cherven-R;
- Green-G;
- Blue B;
- + Vout- + Vin.
The multi-colored tape is from the common plus for storage, and the control of this is carried out through the negative bus.
Important! For yes work rgb, you need a 4-wire connector (connector)
The controller can have multiple zones, which means that the control on the surface is from a single bright zone. You can manage a few different sites and manage independently. In this case, the case of vrazkata is even more similar to the one zone described above, which is the same for every zone, respectively. Some models of connecting the block to store the block are not through the block terminals, but with the connector, disassembled, it is stored by the puller and the contact is removed, but from the female type or vice versa.
