Controller — Pixel controller
Pixel controllers and pairing
This series page covers the controllers that run the programmable lines — including the one model the maker's product pages name as a working partner for their strings.
PIXEL CONTROLLER — NAMED BY THE PRODUCT PAGES IT SERVES
Pairing is the product
| Pairing question | Why it decides the fit |
|---|---|
| Which light line will it run? | Protocol and pixel type follow the lights, not the controller |
| How many points, over what run? | Capacity and data placement along the string |
| What must the sequence do? | Stored effects, designed scenes or desk-driven shows |
| Where does power enter? | Controller and supply are placed together on real structures |
Those four answers, given in an inquiry, let the control side be quoted as part of the light order. Given none of them, any controller is a guess with a delivery date.
The controller the product pages reference
The string light's own product page states that it works with an LED controller such as the K-1000c. That reference names the controller class the programmable strings pair with. For the controller's own figures, request the specification sheet for the model you need, naming the string it will run, and confirm the pairing against it before the order is placed.
The blog's two controller articles extend this page from the buyer's side: how to choose a pixel light controller, and how to choose an LED controller for pixel lights specifically.
