Simple controller for RGB LED light strips
about a month ago by Member #902193 verified purchaser
Very easy to wire with clearly marked terminals, although markings are on the front and terminal screw points
are on the back. I wish they had activation instructions in the package because you need to pair it with a
remote control before you can use it and there is nothing included to step you through the simple process. A
sticker on the back of it with pairing instructions would be fantastic! Be careful with open leads at ends of LED
strips. I fried the first controller because I didn’t notice some of the leads were touching, Doh! Was more careful
with the replacement one I bought. It has several modes on color changing or dial in a solid color. I’m driving 3-
1 meter RGB strips with it. So far so good!

Hello, and thanks for the review! The directions for actually in the data sheet for the remote control, but
I’m adding them here for you and other to see if they need to know how to link a remote to the controller
box.
Linking new lights to the remote controls:
1. Choose which zone you want to assign the light (1 to 4).
2. Switch off the main power supply of the light in the select zone with the main switch o
r pull the plug.
3. Now switch on the light again and within 3 seconds shortly press one of the ’Zone ON’ b
uttons one time on the remote control.
4. When this link operation is successful, the light slowly blinks 3 times on and off.
