Controllers

Changing the lighting solution is also relevant for apartment lighting. For example, it is very convenient to change the color of a multicolor LED strip depending on your mood. You want to rest - green, sad - blue, dancing - red.

For such a control LED light you need RGB-controller. His choice is not difficult, but here decide whether to buy the controllers or refuse such a purchase to you. Number of RGB LEDs in a meter segment of your strip can be anything. At least 30 or 60 pieces - control will be done with the same controllers. What you need to pay attention to is the specifications, so you should study the operating voltage and power. The working voltage varies from 12 to 24 volts, the maximum power can be 72, 108, 144 or 288 watts. Low-power variants threaten a quick breakdown, too big will affect the price increase for the device, and the difference with the averaged version of the power will not be felt.

The main thing at first is to understand what type of controller you want: without or with remote control. The ones without are the cheapest. They have only a smooth color gradient function. If you need to light a window or store sign, that's good enough. Controllers that do not have a remote control vary in appearance; they can resemble a switch or have a more modern touch control.

Controllers with a remote control differ significantly. The cheapest are controllers with an infrared remote. They work at a distance of up to 10 meters, the remote must be precisely directed at the infrared receiver, it is logical that you should not go into another room - the result will not be. This type of RGB controllers is convenient because if you lose the remote, you do not have to buy new IR controllers, you just have to buy a new identical remote.

All controllers with remote controllers smoothly adjust the brightness, change the color and can activate the iridescent mode, some of them are equipped with a flicker function.

Controllers with radio remote control are more expensive. They are much more sensitive - they pick up from a distance of up to 20 meters. so this output is ideal if you are going to hide the controller, where it will not clutter the space, or change the light composition from another room. However, as RGB controllers with IR remote control, they are not replaceable: if you lose the remote, you will need to dispose of the old one and buy another controller again.

There are also controllers on sale that work via WI-FI. Their price is quite high, and there is only one additional option - to change the light design from a cell phone.
