Gledopto WLED Controller with Microphone & USB-C (GL-C-016WL-D)

Unlock mesmerizing lighting effects that standard RGB strips could never achieve. This upgraded controller by Gledopto is specifically engineered to drive Addressable (IC) LED strips. Powered by the incredibly popular open-source WLED firmware, you can use the mobile app to control your light strips section by section or pixel by pixel, giving you instant access to over 100 stunning dynamic visual effects.

Powerful ESP32 Chip and Music Sync

At the heart of this controller lies a robust ESP32 chip, guaranteeing lightning-fast Wi-Fi connectivity. Unlike earlier versions, this model features a built-in microphone. This allows your LED strips to literally dance to the rhythm of the music and react to ambient sounds, perfect for parties, gaming rooms, or home theaters. Integration with third-party smart home hubs is flawless—easily connect it to Home Assistant, MQTT, Amazon Alexa, or Homey.

USB-C Port and DIY Friendly

The controller handles a wide voltage input range from 5V up to 24V DC and safely outputs up to 15 Amps of current. A major upgrade is the inclusion of a modern USB-C port and UART interface, making it incredibly easy for DIY enthusiasts to flash custom firmware updates directly. If desired, you can also pair it with a physical Gledopto RF 2.4G remote control for quick scene switching without opening the app.
