An RGB controller is a device with a remote control and with LED modules or an LED strip connected to it. What is RGB? This is an abbreviation (Red, Green, Blue) in English, meaning three primary colors - red, green and blue. Using these colors, the controller receives any colors and their shades by mixing. Thanks to this device, you can create the necessary indoor environment with one touch.
For example, the RGB controller helps to create the following atmospheres: romantic - turning on purple or pink, calming - turning on turquoise or green, blue is good for watching movies. In this way, you can specify a variety of scenarios and modes. The RGB controller allows you to set a smooth color change, so you can evaluate the highlighted object in all shades. Very often, these devices in the smooth color change mode are used as a light complement to slow music, and the sharp color change mode is well suited for parties, the strobe effect goes well with club music. There are RGB controllers with sound activation mode: they light up brighter and change their colors to the beat of the music.
On the shelves of shops you can see a huge selection of types and types of LED strips. Regardless of the configuration and color of such elements, they are all controlled by the controller. Particularly effective look multicolor ribbons, dynamic color changes.
The following types of control devices are available:
1. RGB controller designed for LED strips with infrared remote control. This type of device uses infrared sensors to communicate with the remote control and the main device. The convenience of such a system is that from one remote control you can control several independent controllers that are in the same room. The operating range of such a remote control is 10 meters, which is enough for one room.
2. RGB controller for LED strips with a radio remote control . In such a system, the signal is transmitted over the air, this allows you to install controllers in special niches or hide them behind drywall constructions. The range of such a remote control is 50 meters. The disadvantage of this system is the inability to install several controllers in the radius of the remote control, since the signal will be sent to all devices at once. And if you live in an apartment building, and the neighbor has the same system installed, then it will be very unpleasant for you when the lighting begins to "live its own life." The use of radio remote control is justified when organizing color lighting of a country house plot, when neighboring housing is distant, or when decorating park areas.
3. Dimmer - a device for smoothly changing the brightness of LED modules or LED strips. These devices come in two types: built-in and with remote controls.
The cost of RGB controllers depends on the amount of color reproduction possible. The more the device is able to accept shades, the higher the price of such a device. Depending on the type, some RGB controllers can reproduce more than a hundred different color shades.
