Gledopto Elite 2D-MU Advanced WLED Controller – Two-channel RGBIC LED controller with microphone, USB‑C, ESP32, Wi‑Fi (GL-C-615WL)

The Gledopto GL-C-615WL is an ESP32-based digital LED controller supplied with WLED firmware, designed for controlling addressable digital LED strips such as WS2811, WS2812B, WS2813, WS2815, SK6812 and other compatible LED types. The device features two independent data output channels, allowing control of two separate lighting zones independently.

The controller also includes a built-in microphone, enabling audio-reactive lighting effects that respond to ambient sounds or music with dynamic color and animation changes. It supports the most widely used digital LED protocols, including WS2811, WS2812B, WS2813, WS2815 and SK6812.

To reduce standby power consumption, the controller is equipped with a built-in relay that can physically disconnect power from the connected LED strips when they are turned off. Please note that this relay is intended for LED load disconnection only and is not suitable for switching the LED power supply itself.

The GL-C-615WL is the enhanced successor to the earlier GL-C-016WL-D model. As part of the Elite Series, it features a redesigned PCB, a replaceable fuse, factory-preconfigured firmware, and additional GPIO expansion options. The hardware design focuses on improved reliability, easier maintenance, and greater flexibility for custom development projects.

The controller is optimized for local operation and provides full functionality without an internet connection. It is particularly well suited for users of Home Assistant, Node-RED, MQTT, and other open-source automation platforms. As a DIY-oriented product, it is primarily intended for technically experienced users, with much of the available support provided through community forums and WLED project documentation.
