A New Controller for High Voltage Application is Here! Introducing the Waterproof 120V AC DMX-RGB Controller from Solid Apollo LED

Waterproof 120V AC DMX-RGB Controller

Waterproof 120V AC DMX-RGB Controller

A higher voltage of the Waterproof 4 Channel DMX-RGB-W Controller is now available, introducing the Waterproof 120V AC DMX-RGB Controller.

The Waterproof 120V AC DMX-RGB Controller is a carbon copy of the Waterproof 4 Channel DMX-RGB-W Controller; the only difference between the two is that the Waterproof 120V AC DMX-RGB Controller is used for high voltage applications and the Waterproof 4 Channel DMX-RGB-W Controller is used for low voltage applications.

For those that have not used the Waterproof 4 Channel DMX-RGB-W Controller, don’t worry! All the information that is covered on this blog post can be mostly applied for the Waterproof 4 Channel DMX-RGB-W Controller as it resembles similar functionalities.

The Waterproof 120V AC DMX-RGB Controller’s exterior is fully waterproof, rated at IP67 along with its cables and connectors. Its sturdy high quality exterior can withstand the wettest locations – perfect on a patio, deck, poolside, or near a fountain.

The waterproofed cables consist of 14in LED Output cable, 19in DMX IN and OUT cables and 79in 120V AC Cord. Please note that the LED Output cable is not fully waterproofed unless you install a waterproof connector between the LED Output wire and your RGB fixture.

Solid Apollo offers an in-house installation for waterproofing your connections (please contact Solid Apollo for details). If you’d rather do-it-yourself, you would just have to install Solid Apollo’s RGB Outdoor Waterproof Connector or any waterproofing sleeve.

As the name states, the Waterproof 120V AC DMX-RGB Controller converts DMX signals to RGB. This high voltage controller is great for 120V RGB products and works hand in hand with Solid Apollo’s RGB Neon LED Strip Lights and RGB Driverless LED Strip Lights.

Furthermore, it has a max power of 600W at 120V AC and can operate upwards of 165ft of RGB Neon LED Strips or up to 135ft of RGB Driverless LED Strip Lights on a single Waterproof 120V AC DMX-RGB Controller.

Additionally, it also has a built-in overheat and over current protection that will protect the controller when the current reaches a wattage value that will cause an excessive or dangerous temperature rise in conductors.

The Waterproof 120V AC DMX-RGB Controller has two primary functions: DMX Control Mode and Auto Program Mode. You can access these programs simply just by pressing and holding the first and second buttons below the digital display.

DMX Control is pretty straight-forward, once you’ve selected DMX Control Mode and connected your DMX512 Controller or your DMX capable control unit accordingly to the Waterproof 120V AC DMX-RGB Controller, you will be able to control two or more Waterproof 120V AC DMX-RGB Controllers enabling them to run the same program seamlessly (Please note, in order to run the same program seamlessly on multiple Waterproof 120V AC DMX-RGB Controllers, they must all be daisy-chained to one another).

If you’re having trouble choosing the right DMX Controller, Solid Apollo offers a wide range of DMX Controllers compatible with the Waterproof 120V AC DMX-RGB Controller. To name a few, DMX Controllers such as the LEDMotion 512, DMX Boss Wi-Fi Controller  and  Duet DMX & Wireless RGB-W In-Wall Controller. You can find more DMX Controllers here.

On a side note, one thing you might want to do first before operating in DMX Mode is to test to confirm if all systems and connections are working properly. To do this test, it is highly recommended to run the Auto Program Mode first. By doing this step first, you would precisely know if your connections are correct thus avoiding further troubleshooting down the road.

The Auto Program Mode enables the Waterproof 120V AC DMX-RGB Controller to run a variety of predefined internal programs if an external DMX Control system is not available. The Programs include flashing, fading and single color selection; and within those programs the brightness levels and speed can be adjusted.

In conclusion, the Waterproof 120V AC DMX-RGB Controller is a great controller, but it is better suited for applications where you intend to use a DMX application. Otherwise, revert back to your 120V RGB Controller as it offers the same functionality as the Waterproof 120V AC DMX-RGB Controller’s predefined internal programs if not more.

Solid Apollo LED Introduces 2 New Fantastic RGB LED Controllers; Power and Precision!

rgb-led-controller

LED Wizard RGB Manual LED Controller

If you are eager to know what I mean about power and precision. Please, allow me to introduce the powerful RGB controller – the LED Wizard RGB Manual LED Controller and the precision controller – the DuoBrite RGB+W LED Controller with RF Remote.

Let’s start with the all new redesigned LED Wizard RGB Manual LED Controller. For starters, it is packed with additional features and more power than ever before put in an RGB LED Controller.

Operating at 12 to 24V DC, each RGB (Red, Green, and Blue) channel has a maximum output of 10A (amps). That said, at 24V DC, the maximum wattage per channel is 240W and with all three channels together, it totals to an outstanding 720W (watts) !

To give you an example on what you can possibly do with 720W, you can hook up  four 3535 150W RGB LED Strips or five 5050 144W RGB LED Strips or even ten 5050 72W RGB LED Strips! The list goes on, as creative as you can be.

Please keep in mind though when attempting the examples mentioned, make sure to not exceed 720W otherwise you would damage or in most cases burn the RGB LED controller. Please be very careful and proceed with caution.

Perfect for Accent and Decorative Lighting

Perfect for  Architectural Lighting

The LED Wizard RGB Manual LED Controller is specifically designed for manual control. Within its thick aluminum matte black shell, on the front facing there are 8 individual buttons that corresponds to different functions.

These user friendly functions will allow you to shuffle through 25 unique pre-saved programs such as color jumping, fading, flashing as well as the option to choose static colors.

Furthermore, the other set of buttons will enable you to create your own atmosphere by dimming and brightening your environment with 64 different levels as well as selecting 47 speed adjustments.

Another unique feature about the Manual RGB LED controller is its three indicator lights (RGB) that light up alongside with its corresponding RGB LED Lights. When set to a static color, for example red, that red indicator light will light up and when a pre-saved mode is in play, those indicator lights will be playing in sync with the mode that is currently on. It’s also a good little trick to see if the connections are functioning correctly.

Now let’s talk about the precision controller. If you’re project requires blending, mixing, finding that exact color and going beyond the RGB+W color spectrum. If you guessed using the DuoBrite RGB+W LED Controller with RF Remote, then you’re correct.

DuoBrite RGB+W LED Controller with RF Remote

DuoBrite RGB+W LED Controller with RF Remote

The DuoBrite RGB+W LED Controller can precisely fine tune a color of your choice using the 4 individual rotary knobs on the RGB LED controller. These 4 rotary knobs control the Red, Green, Blue and White individually and also act as a dimmer for each color. Each color can be dimmed all the way Off or can be used as a mixer for each color.

For example, if you have Red and Blue all the way turned up, that color will become purple. Now if you turn the red down a notch, it will give you a different shade of that purple. The same concept goes with the rest of the colors when mixed together.

Similar to the LED Wizard RGB Manual LED Controller, the included RF Controller gives you easy access to play with the built-in modes.

These built-in modes also consist of color jumping, fading, flashing as well as the option to choose static colors. Adjusting the speed and brightness of each mode are also available with 16 levels to choose from.

Thanks to its RF (Radio Frequency) signal, the RF Remote has the ability to send a signal to your RGB LED Controller up to a maximum of 100ft with obstacles and 200ft without obstacles.

Easily Control Color Changing RGBW LED Lights

In conclusion, the LED Wizard Manual RGB LED Controller and DuoBrite RGB+W LED Controller with RF Controller have similar properties but definitely can be utilized on specific projects.

In spite of their slight differences, both are perfect for various applications such as accent and decorative lighting, buildings, decks, landscaping, game rooms, casinos, retail stores and more.

Solid Apollo LED Introduces 2 New Lines of Linear LED Lighting Channels: Neonizer LED Strip Channels and Economy Series LED Strip Channels

Neonizer LED Strip Channel

Neonizer LED Strip Channel

Solid Apollo LED introduces 2 new lines of linear LED lighting channels: Neonizer LED Strip channels and Economy Series LED Strip Channels.

The Neonizer LED Lighting Channels are a 2 part PMMA extrusion that incorporates a channel and diffuser fussed together in just one product. What is interesting about this new LED channel is that the diffuser is made from a very thick milky PMMA formulation that diffuses the Light evenly, thus making it look like real neon.

Also one of the best features about these channels are that the user gets to choose the exact color of the light by using any off-the-shelf LED Light strip. Solid Apollo Offers 5 grades of white light ranging from 2400K, up to 6000K and even RGB color changing LED Strips can be used with this product.

According to Manuel Barquin from Solid Apollo LED “ Neonizer LED channels are used mainly by lighting specifiers and lighting designers to bring new and exciting ways to light up spaces in unique ways never seen before”.

One of the advantages of the new line of Neonizers is that they can be cut down to any size easily with any sharp blade or chop saw. This makes the 78 inch channel very versatile as the unit can be butted together with more units to make longer runs and can be cut to any size.

Econoline LED strip Channel

Solid Apollo LED also offers a flexible and bendable version of the Neonizer profiles that can be easily bent to shape and even make curves.

Another line of LED lighting Channels recently introduced by Solid Apollo LED are the new line of budget Lighting Channels: EconoLine Lighting Channels can be used with almost any LED strip light from the market and add a protective barrier to the LED Strips from water and the elements. These channels are available in 78 inch size and are aimed at installations that are budget minded.

Solid Apollo LED also offers more than 100 different types of LED Strip channels, making it tone of the biggest suppliers of this kind of product.

AdaptFlex bendable LED Light Channel

Solid Apollo, Leader in LED lighting systems and controls has just launched a new line of Flexible and bendable LED Channels that can be flexed and bent to almost any configuration possible.

The linear LED Linear fixture market is growing substantially at the moment, and in order to cover this growing market, Solid Apollo LED launched 3 new types of Flexible LED Channels: Adaptflex Aluminum LED Strip Channel, Neonizer NF10 and NF12 LED Strip Channels.

The Adaptflex LED strip channel is made of a very thin and flexible high grade anodized aluminum strip and a milky diffuser. The Channel can be easily bent by hand almost to any shape that has a radius of 6 inches or more. This is a great solution to make graceful curves, which do not require wall or floor contact and even new and exciting signage projects.

The standard size of the Adaptflex LED Strip Channel is 78 inches long and can be easily cut to smaller pieces by using any circular metal saw.

According to Manuel Barquin, president of Solid Apollo LED “We strive to bring new exciting products into the LED lighting market, and the Adapt Flex channel is one of these new products. Now, we are not limited by just straight line installations, now the user can use their creativity to light up their projects in a new and fascinating way.”

Another 2 great products from Solid Apollo are their new flexible Neonizer LED Light Channels NF10 and NF12. Neonizer Channels have been designed to bring the look and feel of traditional neon fixtures by using off the shelf LED Strips.

You can easily create fixtures that resemble Neon Light and that can easily be bent to shape it into almost any configuration. Neonizer channels are made of a 2 part PMMA Plastic extrusions that are fused in the middle. The diffuser part is made from very thick PMMA. This enables the fixtures to be flexible and bendable.

Also, if you use the optional glue that Solid Apollo offers, the NF10 and NF12 Neonizer channels can become waterproof, thus expanding the possible uses of these LED Fixtures.

Solid Apollo LED Introduced 2 New Lines of Linear Products: Hi CRI and Constant Current LED Strips

North Seattle Company Solid Apollo LED leader in LED Lighting systems has introduced 2 new lines of linear products: Hi CRI and Constant Current LED strips.

Hi CRI Examples used in LED Lighting

Hi CRI Examples used in LED Lighting

CRI stand for Color Rendering Index and this measurement is used by lighting designers to determine how truthful a light source will reflect the true colors of the object being lit. CRI Measurements range from a scale of 0 to 100. 100 being the most perfect representation of colors.

Usually LED Lighting systems have a 70 CRI value which means that the light source can only represent up to 70% of the real color. This may not seem to be important but displaying a product that lacks color and punch basically minimizes sales as users are not drawn to those products. Solid Apollo’s new line of Hi CRI LED strips lights offer up to a 95 CRI Value.

“This is very important for commercial and retail applications because the better a color is represented, more sales the product will have” Stated Manuel Barquin President of Solid Apollo LED. Not only that, in the restaurant business and in the supermarket business it very important to light up the products with a high CRI, as the products will look fresher and more appealing to the consumer.

Another use of Hi CRI Linear lighting is in the Jewelry and clothing business. By using Solid Apollo’s new line of Hi CRI products, business owners can increase sales by displaying products with brighter true colors that will attract more customers.

Hi CRI LED Strip from Solid Apollo

Hi CRI LED Strip from Solid Apollo

Solid Apollo LED offers more than 15 different brightness levels for their Hi CRI LED Strip Lights and up to 3 different Color temperatures ranging from 3100K to 6000K.

Another product that Solid Apollo LED launched a few days ago is their new line of Constant Current LED Strips. Constant Current LED Strips have an integrated circuit that regulates precisely the amount of voltage and current that each group of LEDs receives. This creates huge advantages over normal low voltage strips old by other companies.

Normal LED Strips have a limited lifetime, and have to be powered every 16 feet or so. This is not an issue in a small installation but if you try to install more than 20+ feet of strip, the installation becomes very cumbersome and full or cluttered wires that have to repower strips every 16 feet.

With Solid Apollo’s new line of constant current LED Strips, the user can connect up to 65 feet of strip with just one power cable at the beginning of the installation. No need to repower and re-cable the whole installation.

Another great advantage of Constant Current LED Strips is that there is no voltage drop over the length of the strips. “You can connect up to 65 feet of low voltage constant current strip without any brightness loss on the whole length. This creates a seamless installation that is easy to install,” stated Manuel Barquin President of Solid Apollo LED.

Solid Apollo LED also offers a great line of Anodized Aluminum channels and extrusions for LED strip Lights, ranging from Corner Extrusions aimed at retail lighting, to recessed extrusions which can be installed on the floor and walls. They also offer different kind of covers ranging from clear click on covers to Milky diffusers so everyone can make their LED Light strip installation a breeze.

Aluminum channels for LED strips offer great advantages, for example they serve as heat sinks for the LED strips. LED strips don’t produce much heat, but if you dissipate that heat by using an LED Extrusion channel, you automatically increase the lifetime of the LED strips. Another advantage is that Aluminum Channels protect the strip from the elements and provide a safer installation.

About Solid Apollo LED: Solid Apollo LED is the leader on Online LED lighting products and solutions. Based in North Seattle, WA, Solid Apollo Offers a great range of products for the LED Lighting Industry.
