RGB LED Light Strip Remote Controller

This LED controller works well with different brands of LED RGB strips and provide good service. I have used these for several years and they withstood some nasty weather. Really nothing tricky about the installation and use, just follow the instructions, making sure you get the light string polarity correct. Ut connecgts to your wifi easily and once connected works well.

Excelente 👌

This thing is great, it has a variety of color options and even offers custom RGB editing, I used this to upgrade the led controller in my Computer after purchasing a RGB kit from another manufacturer, the reason? This RGB controller offers REAL RGB FADING not any of that Fade to black and then to another color stuff, it shifts directly from one color to the other and it looks amazing. Despite the fact some have reportedly received a product with a defect where the RGB associations are wrong, mine works perfectly fine, probably because its from a newer batch, anyways its been working for about 6 months I think, and it has absolutely no problems. So what does it come with? You get a simple white box and inside is the controller and the RGB controller, the way you power it is a 12v DC connector , since I am using this in my computer I had to resort to using the 4 pin molex to 12V DC connector, and it absolutely worked. However I overlooked one thing, this RGB controller offers only one connection instead of the two connections my old one had, so If your doing this make sure you pickup a " Y " splitter cable to maintain the existing connections. The only bad thing I could say about this product would have to be the fact the RGB controller sometimes has a slight jagged transition when using FADE 7, that problem seems to come from the onboard firmware that is not flashable, the other thing isn't so much a problem but can be an annoyance, the controller is IR, and unfortunately it uses some of the same instructions as other common TV remotes, meaning that it is possible that if somebody else is using a TV controller near, the IR receiver will pick this up and change color, but that also means you can change the volume and channels on some TVs with this remote. I like it and it works so I give it a solid 5 stars, product does exactly what its intended to do.

The new IR connector works fine. The old one was 7 years old. So I guess I got my money’s worth from it. However, the original strip of lights is also 7 years old and it still works fine. Nonetheless, I’m happy the replacement worked to fix the lights not working at all. However, these type of lights have a male/female 4 pin cupeling that is needed to connect the power line. It’s like 1/4 inch wide and is basically 4 tiny pins and a tiny strip of plastic holding them together. THAT piece wasn’t included with this replacement package. I mean, seriously, those connectors must cost like a dime a dozen. And you couldn’t have added at least ONE new one to the package? I would have gladly paid a dime more for just one! Luckily the old one still worked and I was able to pry it out of the old IR unit for use. But seriously … drop a few of them in the replacement package will ya? Oh, and my other complaint was the new IR unit has a shorter power cord coming out of it. Which made it harder for me to connect the lights to the unit due to how everything was mounted on the wall. Why shorten the cord on the exact same unit? But I was able to remount things and was able to get the new unit working despite the short comings noted above. But that’s the only reason for 4 instead of 5 stars.

I wrote a less than stellar review of this product, I was wrong. Here's the scoop. When I purchased this system I did not purchase one of the optional power supplies offered. I had a box of old wall warts and used one of them which provided 12VDC @ 1 amp. The problem with that is that the 16.4 ft LED roll requires 2.7 amps when set to bright with white light. The controller was merely responding to the lack of power supplied. I have since replaced the power supply and it now works as advertised. I had written "I was really impressed with this setup. I took it out to my man cave and tried it out on the bench where it worked great. Then I installed it in the family room in a hard to get to alcove for mood lighting. Wow it was awesome,,, for twenty minutes. Then all the white L.E.D.'s went out. That was last night. I turned it off and went to bed. This morning I turned them On and everything worked again, at least for about 15 minutes. Then the White's went out again. Seems like a component in the controller circuit is heating up and shutting down. I went to great lengths to install this lighting and I don't want to have to take it down. So I will be ordering a different make of controller today. Hopefully it will work better. Oh and BTW Amazon Prime is the bomb..." My apologies to all. This is absolutely a great value.

tl;dr: if your led lights aren’t working and you suspect that it’s a receiver issue, order this right away. it’s worth it. i have an led light strip that i put on my bed frame that stopped working a few months ago. i had just bought the lights so i was pretty irritated that they suddenly started turning on and off and changing colors on their own, and i tried everything to fix them but nothing worked. a couple of weeks ago i googled it to troubleshoot and found that it was most likely a receiver issue, so i ordered this new receiver and remote to hopefully get the lights to work again. i plugged them in and they immediately worked perfectly. the remote i already had still works as they’re the same frequency, so now i have an extra remote and working lights again. i wish i had ordered this sooner because i had dead lights on my bed for months and even got a new lamp because they weren’t working and i didn’t want to order an entirely new strip. it’s definitely worth the price as i use these lights daily.

Alright, I have seen a lot of reviews about the device changing the way the controller unit functions (not the remote the controller itself). After several days of hunting for a solution, I found one buried in the deep-web. The controller is cheaply made but not OMG shatter in your hand cheap. The remote control is substandard but not much worse than the remotes you get with car head units. The internal welds on the control unit are well done but this is where the problem starts. The controller was designed by someone that knew the workers in the factory (or the machine putting these things together) would not properly spot the cables correctly. So the programmer that designed the units firmware to 'soft change' which pin does what. As you can see in the photo the pins on the board are labeled RGB but the wires are welded as BGR (another unit I have welded GRB). To correct for the improperly welded wires the unit can be 'reset' to cycle the control of each color. Turn the unit off but LEAVE IT PLUGGED IN to both the dc power unit and the strip. Repeatedly tap the bottom right FADE 7 button on the remote; it will cause the strip to flash once per tap. Each flash is the cycle of the RGB rearranging itself. Tap it two to three times then turn the strip on. Check to see if the RGB buttons on the remote are correct. If not, turn the unit off and tap-tap-tap again. Check it again... repeat repeat repeat... until they are correct. I have a VIZIO tv with a remote that the volume-up mimics the command of the fade button if the whole command isn't seen by the controllers IR eye. Other devices (Brite-View media player, Vizio TV, Sony BD Player, and Charter Cable Box) remotes cause interference too. Slightly annoying but the volume on the TV is the only one that changes the soft set of the RGB buttons. Go figure. I hope this helps if anyone has a unit that is scrambled or if you receive one that isn't working correctly.

Worked great for replacement remote
