LED Controllers

MegaLED’s modular system is an incredibly flexible and powerful way to control lighting in commercial buildings and lighting installations.

These controllers enable customisation of a control system to suit individual LED fixture types (both powerLEDs or voltage driven leds) and their Light control requirements. The modular system splits into 2 distinct sections: Control & Output.

Control Group – Modular LED Controllers

These boards control the colour, brightness and interface to the LEDs. From stand-alone systems, 0-10V input and DMX interfaced systems, the control boards determine how the LEDs are lit.

Output Group – Modular LED Drivers

Taking signals from a control board, the output boards are designed to drive specific types of LEDs from traditional 3 and 5mm types to newer high power led devices like LED Strips. The boards can be ‘daisy-chained’ to give virtually limitless output drive capacity for all types of LED fixtures.

Product Range: Control Group:

What is a led controller?

A led controller allows 'lights' like: led strips, led light fixtures, lamps or power leds to be controlled by a user. Some of the LED controllers we sell require master controllers or can be controlled and dimmed manually. If a LED controller is listed as DMX it will output DMX and drive lights via the DMX protocol. If a LED controller is 'stand alone' and in this section it will dim the lights using PWM - or pulse width modulation. If a LED controller is 'analogue' it will take an analogue voltage signal 0-10V or 1-10V and trigger a programme or programmes based on the voltage input. If a controller is listed with RS232 interface it can control the lights by sending serial commands via the serial bus connection. Some of these same controllers can receive serial through a USB port.

What is a modular led controller?

Best way to think of the modular control system is an expansive and limitless way to dim and power leds. The modular control system is split into INPUT and OUTPUT cards. The input cards take or create the signal to drive the LED load on the output cards. The output cards are available in CV or CC versions. CV = Constant voltage for led lighting products like led strip, led neon, sign lighting modules. CC = Constant current for architectural light fixtres and power leds. The input cards take or create the input signal - as explained in the section 'what is a led controller'.

How many lights or led strips can I dim with a led controller?

Most 'all in one' controllers on the market for led strips and constant voltage led types should be able to drive at least 2.5Amps per channel. The majority can do 4 or 5amp per channel. MegaLED's modular system can usually driver upto 5Amp per channel or 15Amps per card if it is a 3 channel card - like our VDRIVER. Our modular led controllers allow limit less loads because the decoding side or the 'input' is separated from the power or driving side of the 'output'. Some of our cards like our flagship DMX75 system can drive powerleds and will drive upto 9kw of led power leds across 75 channels.
