15A WLED ESP32 Addressable Controller
15A WLED ESP32 Addressable Controller
15A WLED ESP32 Addressable LED Controller
The GLEDOPTO GL-C-015WL-D is an ESP32-based WLED digital LED controller designed to control addressable LED strips over Wi-Fi. It supports a wide range of digital LED strip ICs and provides two independently configurable output channels, with up to 15A total output current and up to 10A per channel.
Sound-Reactive WLED Control
A built-in digital microphone enables sound-reactive lighting effects, allowing compatible addressable LED strips to respond to music and ambient sound when the WLED audio-reactive features are configured.

Installation and Connectivity
The controller uses quick-release terminals for straightforward connection of compatible digital LED strips. The two primary outputs can be configured through WLED, while the additional GPIO interface can be used for supported DIY/custom control applications. Always match the controller's DC input voltage to the LED strip and power supply requirements, and keep the total load within the specified current limits.
WLED Features
Once connected to a compatible network, the controller can be configured through WLED for colour selection, effects, presets, segments and other supported digital-lighting functions. OTA updates can be used for supported firmware updates, while the Micro-USB/UART interface provides a convenient option for firmware flashing or serial access.
What It Is Suitable For
- Addressable RGB and compatible digital LED strip projects
- Music and sound-reactive lighting installations
- DIY WLED lighting projects
- Home automation and smart-lighting setups using WLED
- Custom LED effects, presets and segmented lighting
- Projects requiring Wi-Fi-based control of addressable LEDs
Important Compatibility Note
This controller is for addressable/digital LED strips. It is not intended for standard non-addressable analogue RGB strips. The LED strip, power supply and controller must be compatible in voltage, wiring and current requirements.
