SPI LED CONTROLLER
Compact Pixel LED Controller for Standalone Installations
Control up to 1,024 RGB or 768 RGBW pixels from a single SPI output. Create and store up to 255 pixel LED effects on an SD card and trigger them using DMX512 or onboard buttons — completely standalone, with no computer required.
Simple Standalone Pixel Control
Create your pixel LED effects in LED Strip Studio, export them to the included SD card, and let the controller handle playback independently. Store up to 255 effects and trigger them instantly from the onboard buttons or a DMX512 lighting console.
With 5–24V DC operation and a compact DIN-rail design, the SPI LED Controller integrates easily into permanent installations, event systems, signage, architectural lighting, and other space-conscious applications.

FAQ
The controller runs on 5–24V DC, so it works directly with most common LED power supplies without an extra converter. More in SPI LED Controller Installation Examples.
A single unit drives up to 1024 RGB or 768 RGBW pixels over its SPI output. Full answer in Pixels and Universes per Controller.
Yes. Store up to 255 effects on a Micro SD card and trigger them using the onboard hardware buttons or an external DMX signal — no PC required. More in SD Card Mode: DMX-Triggered Animations.
Yes, the controller includes separate DMX in and out connectors, so it can sit inline with a standard DMX512 lighting rig. More in DMX512 In and Out on LSS Controllers.
Effects are created and exported using LED Strip Studio 4, then copied to the SD card for standalone playback.
Yes. Units mount side by side on a standard DIN rail, letting you scale up to larger installations while keeping wiring clean.
