DMX Controllers

Our range of DMX LED controllers is primarily designed for bigger lighting projects and stage lighting. DMX, alongside Dali LED controllers, can control more LEDs at once, making them a popular choice. Our high-quality DMX controllers LED act as a receiver which, when paired with the correct type of remote control or lighting panel, giving you ultimate flexibility and control over your LED lights. 

Digital Addressable Lighting Interfaces (DALI) are a type of LED light dimmer that can be paired with DMX controllers. A Dali system is a also perfect choice for bigger projects as it is designed to control and regulate the power to LED lights on a wider scale than some other types of LED dimmer. These setups can be used on full side-of-building light projects, but it is equally as useful to install Dali lighting control for your LED bulbs in your home.

Dimming LED Lights with DMX/Dali

Often called DMX decoders, the signal used to control the LEDs is called DMX 512 as the controller can be used to control up to 512 separate channels. The DMX controllers in our collection are compatible with a range of LED tapes including the RGB and RGBW types. Within our own range of products, the DMX RGB controllers are compatible with many types of the LED light tapes we stock.

Before purchasing an DMX LED controller, it is important to know how many channels you wish to control. For example, a single colour LED tape would only require one channel to power whilst RGB/RGBW tapes will require three or four ports to cater for the additional colours. It is also vital to check the wattage of the tapes when compared with the controller as it can overload if too much power is passed through it.

As with all types of LED lighting setup, a DMX system works with a controller and a receiver. Our DMX RGB controllers can operate with many different systems, making a more versatile and multi-functional piece of lighting equipment. Here are the ways that our DMX to SPI converters can work solo or connected to other DMX decoders.

• DMX Mode – connect the devices to a fully compliant DMX interface. Ideal for bigger and more complicated setups; if you are creating a largescale or multi-zone setup, then this is the LED controller to simplify your installation and use.
• Standalone Devices – the converter can also act as its own controller, boasting 32 possible lighting modes. A perfect device if you want to control your LEDs without the use of a remote control or the installation of a wall switch.
• Radio Frequency Connection – by making use of this devices’ ability to connect via RF, you can connect your lighting control to your smartphone with absolute ease. With simple-to-setup WiFi ports and devices, easily link the converter to a remote control or wall switch.

One of the more common domestic and office-based uses for LED DMX controllers is for the smooth and consistent dimming of LED lights. Having the ability to dim LED lights can have a huge impact on the vibe and aesthetic of your space. With one of these receivers and controllers included in your setup, make the most of dimmable LEDs and switch the ambience from work mode to relaxing mode with ease.
