A built-in relay cuts LED power when off to remove ghost glow, while a pluggable fuse protects against short circuits. Input is DC5/12/24V (15A total, 10A/ch), with Type-C 5V/3A for debug or small 5V strips. It controls WS2811, WS2812B, WS2813, WS2815, SK6812, SK9822, TM1814, GS8208, SM16703P and other WLED-compatible ICs. Not for analog RGB/RGBW/RGBCCT or DMX512 strips. For makers and integrators who need Ethernet stability plus 4-zone pixel control, the GL-C-618WL is the elite brain.
4 Independent SPI Outputs: Drive up to four pixel strips/zones from one controller—TV backlight + shelf + cove + signage, each with its own segment and effect.
Ethernet + WiFi: RJ45 for rock-solid LAN/Home Assistant/Art-Net-style sync; WiFi for quick provisioning. Fully local, no cloud lock-in.
Elite Protection: Pluggable fuse (5A/20A depending on batch), energy-saving relay (GPIO18) cuts LED V+ when off, input reverse-polarity protection.
Audio-Reactive WLED Native: Onboard PDM mic (I²S SD GPIO32 / WS GPIO15) for music sync; full WLED feature set, IO13 GPIO for button/PIR/sensor.
5–24V Pro Installer Design: Screw terminals + DC jack + Type-C; 15A total / 10A per channel; quick-connect blocks; 129×50×23mm flame-retardant IP20 housing.
