AquaX WL1 Dual Channel WLED Controller IP67
GLEDOPTO AquaX WL1 Dual-Channel WLED Controller
The GLEDOPTO AquaX WL1 GL-C-812WL is a dual-channel digital LED controller designed for addressable LED strips in environments where moisture protection is important. It features a sealed IP67-rated flame-retardant PC enclosure, factory-installed WLED firmware, 2.4GHz Wi-Fi, and ESP-NOW support.
Dual Independent Digital LED Outputs
The GL-C-812WL provides two independent addressable LED outputs, allowing two digital LED strips or lighting zones to be controlled from one controller. Each output uses V+, DATA and GND connections. The documented recommended capacity is up to 800 ICs per channel, 1,600 ICs total.
IP67 Protection for Moisture-Prone Installations
The sealed IP67 enclosure is suited to applications such as aquariums, terrariums, outdoor lighting, landscape installations, and other locations where the controller may be exposed to water splashes, dust, or high humidity. The specified operating temperature is -20°C to +45°C.
WLED Firmware and Wi-Fi Control
The controller is factory pre-flashed with WLED, so it can be configured through the WLED web interface or compatible WLED applications. It supports 2.4GHz Wi-Fi and can initially be configured through the controller's WLED-AP access point before joining a local Wi-Fi network.
Addressable LED Compatibility
The GL-C-812WL is designed for digital/pixel-addressable LED strips. Documented supported LED driver ICs include WS2805, WS2811, WS2811F, WS2812B, WS2814A, WS2815, SK6812, SM16703, SM16703SP3, FL19038, FW1935, and UCS2903B, among others.
Wide DC Input Voltage Range
The controller supports DC 5V, 12V, 24V, 36V, and 48V input according to the available product manual. Always match the controller and LED strip voltage to the power supply being used. The controller's documented maximum total output current is 15A, with a documented maximum of 10A per channel.
Smart Home and Remote Control Options
WLED provides browser-based control and app-based control, while the controller also supports ESP-NOW for compatible GLEDOPTO WLED remotes. The documented compatible remote models include GL-RC-001WL and GL-RC-002WL. WLED integrations and APIs can also be used with compatible smart-home setups.

Important Installation Note
Use a suitable DC power supply and make sure the supply voltage matches the LED strip and controller requirements. Check polarity and secure all VCC, DATA and GND connections before applying power. Do not wire, disconnect, or service the controller while it is powered. Power injection may be required for longer LED runs to reduce voltage drop.
