Key Features
• High‑Power PWM Control: Manages up to 72 W per channel at 24 V—ideal for high-intensity LED strips.
• Customizable Lighting Effects: Flexible fade timings (0–250 s) and up to 60 programmable lighting scenes enable dynamic visual settings.
• Advanced Signal Support: Native RAYNET RS‑485 communications, plus optional DMX‑512 support via DIP switch—great for integration with theatrical or architectural lighting systems.
• Reliable Operation: DMX signal validation indicator (DMX OK LED) ensures dependable DMX control.
• Scalable Zoning: Facilitates up to 16 groups or zones, enabling structured lighting schemes across different areas.
• Multi‑modal Control: Interact via mobile apps, keypads, RS‑485 systems, or DMX hardware, supporting various deployment models.
• Smart Voice Integration: Enable hands-free control through Alexa, Google Home, or IFTTT when paired with GO infrastructure.
• OEM‑Ready: With KNX integration in the "‑KNX" variant, it fits seamlessly into larger KNX home/building automation designs.
Applications
• Architectural LED Installations: Perfect for accent lighting, coves, under-cabinet runs, or building façade lighting requiring smooth, dimmable control.
• Retail and Display Lighting: Enhances merchandise presentation or display ambiance with dynamic light scenes.
• Thematic & Entertainment Spots: Works well in lounges, bars, or galleries—especially when DMX systems are already in place.
• Smart Building Integration: Fits elegantly into KNX-based setups (assuming KNX variant), merging LED strip control into centralized building management.
• Commercial Interiors: Adaptable for boardrooms, hotel suites, or showrooms needing scene-based LED strip setups.
• High-Wattage Installations: Supports higher-power strips via multiple channels emulating higher current capabilities—a practical solution when higher single-channel ratings aren’t available.
Summary
The Raylogic LDX‑405‑CV‑KNX is a capable PWM-based LED strip controller offering high load handling, flexible, programmable dimming, and wide integration potential—including RS‑485, DMX, and (in the KNX variant) KNX ecosystems. It's a solid choice for environments demanding sophisticated LED lighting control—whether in smart homes, retail, hospitality, or architectural settings.
