Gledopto Elite 2D-EXMU advanced WLED controller
The Gledopto Elite 2D-EXMU WLED Advanced Controller (GL-C-616WL) is a professional digital LED controller based on the ESP32 chip, designed for addressable RGBIC lighting. It comes pre-installed with the highly popular open-source WLED firmware, allowing you complete control over every individual pixel on your LED strip.
Unlike basic Wi-Fi controllers that often lose connection, the Elite 2D-EXMU features a built-in RJ45 Ethernet port for ultra-low latency and seamless synchronization. With an integrated microphone for sound-responsive effects and a built-in relay to cut power in standby mode, it is the ultimate engine for custom desk setups, gaming rooms, and advanced smart home lighting.
Key Features
-
Pre-installed WLED: Ready to use right out of the box with over 100 dynamic, customizable lighting effects. It integrates seamlessly into Home Assistant, Node-RED, and MQTT with 100% local control.
-
Ultra-reliable Ethernet connectivity: The built-in RJ45 port ensures lag-free operation, making it perfect for syncing multiple LED controllers, using E1.31 (sACN) / Art-Net, or syncing lights with PC gaming screens without the jitter common to Wi-Fi.
-
Sound-responsive lighting: Features a built-in, high-sensitivity I2S PDM microphone. Simply enable the "AudioReactive" user module in WLED, and your LED strips will dynamically blink, bounce, and change colors to the beat of surrounding music or game audio.
-
Hardware relay for power saving: Most digital LED strips still consume power even when the lights are "off." This controller features a built-in hardware relay that physically cuts power to the strips when you turn them off in the app, eliminating parasitic power consumption.
-
Two independent channels: Control two completely separate addressable LED strips (e.g., WS2812B, SK6812, WS2815) from a single device, allowing you to assign different effects and segments to each area.
-
Replaceable protective fuse: Safety is paramount for high-density LED strip installations. It includes a replaceable 20-amp (20A) automotive blade fuse to protect your wiring against overcurrent (overload).
