20A high current output WLED controller

Dual Fuse & Relay Protection

2 × 10A detachable MINI blade fuse plus PMOS DC electronic switch analog relay. Safe and power-saving for your LED project.

Dual fuse and relay protection

3 Flexible Power Input Ways

V+ / V− WAGO terminal (DC 5–12–24V, 20A Max) · Type-C input (DC 5V, 3A Max) · DC Jack input (DC 5–12–24V, 5A Max).

Three flexible power input ways

2-Channel Status Indicators

Quick fuse & relay fault self-check — green = relay configured and strip powered, red = fuse blown.

Two channel status indicators

High-Sensitivity PDM MIC

Compared to analog mic, it offers higher sensitivity and faster response time — high sensitivity, beat-driven, vivid effects.

Segmented color control

WLED Remote Control

Long remote control distance, stable signal transmission. Keys: On/Off · Brightness · Scene · Night. Works with Gledopto WLED remote GL-RC-001WL / GL-RC-002WL.

WLED remote control

Button Functions

Function button (GPIO17): short press = power on/off, long press 1s = adjust colour, long press 10s = reset. Restart button (EN) reboots the module.

Button functions

Energy Saving Relay

Dual-channel independent relay — Relay 0 pin 21, Relay 1 pin 19. The output power is cut off automatically after turning off the lights.

Energy saving relay configuration

Sync Lighting

On the same WiFi network, the lighting effects of the LED strips connected to multiple WLED controllers can be synchronised.

Sync lighting between controllers

DIY Extensions

Flexible for multi-function extension. Support pushbutton, switch, PIR sensor, external relay and more through the GPIO interface.

DIY GPIO extension port

Notes Before Use

  1. The controller does not change the voltage — please choose the power supply according to the voltage of your LED strip.
  2. The GPIO extension pins (IO5, IO18, IO33) are directly connected to the main chip and are not 5V tolerant. Applying more than 3.3V (e.g. 5V) will damage the controller.
  3. Always power off before wiring. Make sure all electrical connections are correct and tight.
  4. Please use Gledopto official firmware for updates, otherwise the custom presets will be lost.
  5. Default WiFi hotspot: WLED-AP, password wled1234. Keep the phone and controller on the same WiFi network.
  6. Indoor use only (IP20). Avoid damp, dusty or high-temperature environments.
