RGB CCT Controller Dimmer 12-24V LED with 2.4G Remoter 5 Channels ILED-DM2 E

What it does

The ILED-DM2 E is a 5-channel RGB+CCT controller for 12V and 24V LED strips. It drives red, green, and blue on three channels, and a warm white and a cool white on two more, so you get full colour mixing and a proper white mix. It is driven by a 2.4G remote or the push buttons. There is no app or pairing. It suits strips that want colour scenes and a clean white.

5 channels, RGB plus CCT

Five channels means R, G, B, a warm white, and a cool white, each on its own 4A line. The three colour channels give red, green, and blue, so you can mix any hue. The two white channels are the point: a dedicated warm white and a cool white, so the white is a real white, and you can blend them to a colour temperature in between. An RGB-only controller makes white by mixing all three, and that white reads slightly muddy. The CCT channels avoid that.

How it works

The 2.4G remote sends over radio, not over cables. Each channel has its own address, so the colour and the white can be set independently. The remote is RF 2.4GHz, so it does not need a line of sight or a phone. The receiver and the remote keep their settings when the power goes off, and the push buttons do the same jobs as the remote, so you are not stuck if the remote is misplaced. Power it up and it runs.

Output and dimming

Each of the five channels is rated at 4A, so the controller drives up to 144W on a 12V system or 288W on a 24V system. Dimming runs from 0 to 100%, and the fade is smooth. At low levels the strip holds a clean setting. The output is a DC2.1 plus a screw terminal. For a long strip, run a separate supply and use this for the signal.

Power and connection

Feed the controller from a DC2.1 plug or the screw terminal. It runs on a 12V to 24V DC supply. Size the power supply to the strip. Do not exceed 4A on any one channel. For the RGB+CCT strip, wire the colour and white lines to their own channels and share the common ground.

Receiver and remote

The receiver measures L85 by W45 by H23mm and weighs 45g. The remote measures L150 by W40 by H13mm and weighs 60g. The remote fits in one hand and has buttons for the colour, the white, and the dimming. The receiver bolts to a desk or a wall. Both carry their settings across a power cut. It ships in a colorful box or skin pack.

Temperature and use sites

It is rated from -30C to +55C, which covers most indoor and sheltered outdoor use. For an outdoor install, mount it out of the direct sun. The 2.4G signal needs a clear path or a short cable, not a wall between the remote and the receiver. The flicker-free output suits camera work and retail displays. Use it where you want colour scenes and a proper white mix.

Where it sits in the DM2 family

The DM2 E is the most complete controller in the family. The DM2 A is single color, the DM2 B is a CCT dual white, the DM2 C is RGB colour-only, the DM2 D is RGBW, and the DM2 E adds the dedicated warm and cool white on top of RGB. If you only need one color or a simple white mix, a simpler sibling is enough. The DM2 E is the one for a design that wants full colour and a clean white.

What is in the box

Each order ships one ILED-DM2 E receiver and one 2.4G remote, in a colorful box or skin pack. It has a DC2.1 input and screw terminals for the 5 channels, plus the push buttons for local control. No cables or power supply are included. Add a 12V or 24V supply and an RGB+CCT strip.

What you need to supply

A 12V or 24V power supply sized to the strip. An RGB+CCT strip within the 4A per channel limit. A mount for the receiver, and a clear path or a short cable for the remote. The remote battery comes with the unit. Do not exceed 4A on a channel.

Where it gets used

Use the ILED-DM2 E on RGB+CCT strip runs: feature walls and coves that want a colour scene, display cases that want a clean white, and mixed installations that need both. It suits hotel lobbies, restaurants, and retail, where the colour changes for an event and the white runs the rest of the time. For a single color, step down to a sibling.

Why choose the ILED-DM2 E.

It is the five-channel RGB+CCT controller, so you get red, green, and blue plus a dedicated warm white and a cool white, all from one unit. The two white channels are the difference: the white is a real white, not the muddy mix an RGB-only controller makes, and you can blend them to a temperature in between. Each channel is 4A, so it drives up to 144W at 12V or 288W at 24V. The 2.4G remote sets the colour and the white mix with no app and no pairing, and the push buttons cover it if the remote goes missing. It draws a steady 0 to 100%, holds a clean low level, and does not flicker. It is small, 45g, and bolts to a wall, and it works from -30 to +55C. If a design wants full colour and a proper white in the same fixture, this is the controller.

What is the difference between RGB and RGB+CCT?

RGB gives red, green, and blue, and makes white by mixing all three, which reads as a slightly grey, muddy white. RGB+CCT adds two dedicated white channels, a warm white and a cool white, so the white is a clean, bright white, and you can blend the two to a temperature in between. Pick RGB where you only want colour. Pick RGB+CCT, this one, where you also want a proper white for everyday use. Both drive the strip from the 2.4G remote.

How many channels does the DM2 E have?

Five: red, green, blue, a warm white, and a cool white. Each is on its own 4A channel, so the colour and the white are controlled independently. That is why it is the most complete controller in the DM2 range. The simpler siblings, the DM2 A, B, C, and D, have fewer channels, so you pick the DM2 E when you need the full set.

Will it flicker at low brightness?

No. The output is rated flicker-free, and the fade is smooth across 0 to 100%. Even a low hold is clean, so it works for camera work and product photos without the shimmer that shows up in some cheap controllers. If you dim a long strip, keep the power supply close so the last section holds its level.

Do I need to pair the remote?

No. The remote is RF 2.4GHz and talks to the receiver directly, no code and no app. The settings stay when power is cut, so it is not reset when the breaker trips. Use the push buttons on the receiver if the remote is lost. The remote keeps its last colour and white mix across a power cut.

How much current does each channel carry?

Each of the five channels is rated at 4A. Together the controller drives up to 144W at 12V or 288W at 24V. Do not exceed 4A on one channel; split a long run across it. Size the power supply to the strip and keep each channel under 4A.

Put the ILED-DM2 E on the RGB+CCT strip runs where you want colour and a proper white in the same fixture: feature walls and coves, display cases, hotel lobbies, restaurants, and retail. The five channels set a colour scene for an event, then drop back to a clean white for the rest of the day, which is what a simple RGB controller does not do well. The dedicated warm and cool white channels give a true white instead of the muddy RGB mix, and you can blend them to the temperature the room needs. The flicker-free fade suits product photography and camera work. It works from -30 to +55C, and for an outdoor run keep the controller out of the direct sun. For a cove that runs warm white overnight and shifts to a colour wash for a dinner event, the two white channels hold the base tone while the RGB channels add the event look on top. For a display that must stay white under camera, the dedicated white channel keeps it true instead of a blended grey. Where you only need one colour, the simpler DM2 siblings are enough; the DM2 E is the full-colour-plus-white choice.

Buy the ILED-DM2 E in its 5-channel RGB+CCT form: 4A per channel, up to 144W at 12V or 288W at 24V, 0 to 100% dimming, a 2.4G remote plus push buttons, and a -30 to +55C rating. The receiver is L85 by W45 by H23mm, 45g, and the remote is L150 by W40 by H13mm, 60g. It ships in a colorful box or skin pack, and OEM packaging is supported. A matching 12V or 24V power supply is not included, so size one to the strip and keep it under 4A per channel. It is the RGB+CCT controller, the step up from the RGB-only DM2 C and the RGBW DM2 D. Confirm the strip you are driving is a true RGB+CCT, with the warm and cool white lines separate, so the two white channels work as intended, and check the 4A limit against the strip you plan to run. If you want full colour plus a proper white, this is the one.
