Programmable LED Solutions

Our LED controls are divided into two major groups: PWM (pulse width modulation) and SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface).

PWM control is suited to applications where whole groups of LEDs are dimmed, flash or change colour.
It it is not suited to uses where individual LEDs need to be programmed to produce movements (such as moving waves of colour) but works very well where groups of LEDs are to be controlled (such as individual letters in a sign or rooms in a house).
If your application requires the control of groups of LEDs then see our DMX controllers.

SPI control is suited to controlling individual LEDs as pixels to create any effect you wish. It has even been used to build LED screens!

You will need the following items to complete your SPI project:

Pick a digital controller

Note

Our remote controller (on the left) is recommended as it is easy to use.

Pixel controllers have to be programmed. Projects requiring custom pixel control are best assembled by an experienced programmer. Contact us for help.

Pick an addressable LED

Pick a profile to house your LEDs

    Playground and Outdoor Restaurant Lighting Ideas

    LED lighting is essential for creating an inviting atmosphere in playgrounds and restaurants. The right lighting can improve the mood of customers, increase sales and create a safer environment. It's important to consider both the color and temperature of the lighting when designing the lighting system. RGB exterior lighting provides a creative and energy-efficient solution, while path lights and synchronized LED lights are popular outdoor lighting ideas. A customized lighting system, such as a Bluetooth outdoor light system, can be used to control the lighting and create a cozy illuminated spot.
