The GLEDOPTO GL-C-116WL-RF AeX2gis is a dual-channel WLED controller for digitally addressable LED strips. It features two separate LED data outputs, with the manufacturer specifying support for up to 800 LED ICs per channel. The two outputs can be configured as separate WLED segments, allowing two LED strips or two independent lighting sections to be controlled from a single controller.
The controller operates with a 5, 12 or 24 V DC power supply. It supports up to 10 A output current per channel and up to 20 A total. Each LED output has its own relay and fuse, allowing the power supply to the LED strips to be disconnected when WLED is switched off. In addition to the two data channels, three free GPIO connections are available for integrating push-buttons, switches, PIR sensors or other accessories.
The GL-C-116WL-RF can be controlled via Wi-Fi through WLED as well as with compatible 2.4 GHz RF remote controls. The WLED web interface and compatible applications provide colour, brightness, effect and segment control for addressable LEDs, while the controller can also use WLED automation and integration features. The product is primarily intended for DIY users familiar with WLED and addressable LED systems; WLED documentation and community support are also relevant for detailed configuration.
About GLEDOPTO
GLEDOPTO primarily manufactures smart LED lighting products and controllers. Its product range includes LED strip controllers, light sources, dimmers, RGB, RGBW, CCT and RGB+CCT lighting controllers, as well as solutions based on Zigbee, Matter, Thread, Wi-Fi and WLED.
Depending on the model, GLEDOPTO smart lighting controllers can be integrated into various smart home systems and lighting control environments. WLED-based models are primarily designed for creating customisable DIY lighting systems that operate over a local network.
Key product features

Smart home protocols and platform compatibility
- Wi-Fi: The controller connects to the local network over Wi-Fi, through which the WLED interface can be accessed.
- 2.4 GHz RF remote control: In addition to Wi-Fi, the controller also supports direct radio-frequency remote control. The manufacturer lists the GL-RC-009S and GL-RC-208 2.4 GHz RF remotes as compatible models.
- WLED: The controller runs WLED firmware and can be managed through the WLED web interface and WLED-compatible applications.
- WLED remotes: The manufacturer lists the GL-RC-001WL and GL-RC-002WL as compatible WLED remote controls.
- Local network control: The WLED local web interface does not require a manufacturer's cloud service.
- Smart home integration: Through WLED's integration options, the controller can be integrated into smart home and automation systems that support WLED, including Home Assistant.
- MQTT: Through WLED's MQTT support, the controller can also be connected to MQTT-based automation systems.
Smart features
- Two separate LED outputs: Two digitally addressable LED strips or LED sections can be configured in WLED.
- Colour and brightness control: The colour and brightness of compatible addressable LEDs can be adjusted through the WLED interface.
- Dynamic lighting effects: WLED's built-in animations and effects can be used with the connected LEDs.
- Segment control: The LEDs can be divided into separate segments, each with different colours, brightness levels and effects.
- Presets: WLED settings and lighting states can be saved as presets and recalled later.
- 2.4 GHz RF control: Basic lighting functions can be controlled using a compatible RF remote independently of Wi-Fi control.
- AudioReactive function: With a suitable microphone configuration, WLED sound- and music-reactive lighting effects can also be used.
- GPIO expansion: IO5, IO18 and IO33 can be configured in WLED for push-buttons, switches, PIR sensors or external relays.
- Web interface: Lighting and controller configuration are accessible through a web browser on the local network.
- Factory reset: Holding the function button for approximately 10 seconds resets the WLED controller and reactivates the WLED-AP access point.
