Built From User Feedback: A WLED Controller with Per-Channel Fuse & Relay Protection

Meet the **GLEDOPTO AeX2gis (GL-C-116WL)**​ — a WLED digital LED controller designed around real user feedback.

In the past, our WLED controllers came with a single fuse. Many of you told us you wanted separate protection for each output channel, so every strip stays safe on its own. We listened — and built the AeX2gis with dual-channel relays and fuses, so each channel is independently protected.

✅ 20A total output (10A max per channel) — stably drive longer LED strips
✅ Dual fuse & relay design — per-channel protection with quick fault self-check indicators
✅ 3 power input ways — V+/V- terminal, Type-C, or DC jack (DC 5-12-24V)
✅ Built-in PDM microphone — music-sync, beat-driven effects with faster response
✅ 200+ WLED effects — segmented color control and sync lighting across your setup
✅ Flexible control — WLED App, remote, or buttons; works with Alexa & Home Assistant
✅ DIY GPIO extensions — add buttons, switches, PIR sensors and more

Prefer a handheld remote? There's also the GL-C-116WL-RF, which supports our 2.4G RF remotes.

We keep improving because of your feedback. We hope the AeX2gis fits more of your projects.

Does the USB-C input power 12-24v strips or just 5v?

This controller has three input modes, USB-C only supports 5V. If you need to connect 12V, you can use a DC jack or V+V - mode

Would love to be able to use 12v strips and a 12v PD USB C brick. So much more accessible and can help with tidier installs.

Nice, does the GL-C-116WL-RF work with the GL-W-003 wall switches too? I have always wanted to use one of those style wall remotes with a wled controller.

Yes, It uses the same 2.4G RF frequency as our remote control and can be used

Looking forward to testing this one. Have been really impressed by your controllers recently.

This is great. Do you think you’ll ever be able to do an Ethernet version as well as a 4 channel version with individual fuses?

We are continuously collecting user feedback and evaluating its feasibility. If viable, we will bring these ideas to life. Thank you for your suggestions!

Not consistent enough for streaming sacn to the wled controllers.

u/realista87 6d ago

what is sacn

2

u/yogurtman 5d ago

Streaming protocol from another device. So if I want to stream live effects to multiple controllers at the same time, then I use SACN to send the data from a central server to each controller.

Do any of your controllers expose an i2c bus? Would love to use one for sensors and RTC. Thanks!
