LOTUSLAMP / Lighting control

LED lighting & control systems

We design the electronics inside decorative LED lighting and the apps that control them. Many of the lights built on our controllers are sold under partner brands, so this page lists the product categories by the control type inside them.

Product categories: 40
Controller platforms: 4
Applications: 16

Control solutions

Every product line below runs on a controller we designed, paired with one of the sixteen applications we develop in-house. The apps section covers those, and which app controls your light maps all forty of our product categories to the app that drives each one.

Our four controller platforms, which most of these lines are built on — Y96 fixed-colour RGB, Y16 addressable pixels, G01 broadcast group control and master–slave synchronisation — are documented from the inside in the controller platforms section.

Control type	What it covers
Single channel	One colour of LED strip — white or warm white
Two channel	Tunable white, mixing cool and warm on one strip
Three to five channel RGB	Full-colour strip where the whole run changes together
Addressable RGBIC	Independent control of each LED, with multiple colours and moving effects along one strip
Multi-output	One controller driving several strips in step
Mesh networked	Room-level grouping across many fixtures, with offline voice
Broadcast synchronised	Many lights running one pattern together
Sound-reactive	A microphone in the controller itself, not in your phone

Decorative and festive

Christmas and festive strings, including two-wire eight-mode strings and tree lighting — estimating length by tree size
Curtain lights in six variants that differ in signal method, refresh and whether they can be linked — sizing and telling them apart
Light screens — pixel matrices that display images and text, single or chained — what they can display and chaining several into one
Firework lights, a hub with radial bars, indoor and outdoor — installation
Copper-wire strings, camping lights and eave lighting

Ambient and projection

Sunset lamps — placement and distance
Star projectors — coverage and speed
Water ripple lights, two and four channel — placement

Dedicated

Stepper motor drive and other single-purpose controllers built for a specific fixture rather than a general lighting product

The forty categories in full

Every category we design a control solution for, grouped by control type, with the wiring it expects and the app that drives it. This is the same data our support team works from.

Illustrative renderings. The images below show lighting categories and example settings. They are not photographs of a specific product; each category covers different shapes and sizes.

Basic control

One and two channel controllers for single-colour and tunable-white strip.

The 1 Channel category. — **1 Channel**
1 output / mono white or warm-white LED strip
Lotus Lantern

The 2 Channel category. — **2 Channel**
2 outputs / tunable-white (CCT) LED strip
Lotus Lantern

Category	Wiring / output	Typical use	App
1 Channel	1 output / mono white or warm-white LED strip	Under-cabinet lighting, display shelving, bedside areas and indoor ambience.	Lotus Lantern
2 Channel	2 outputs / tunable-white (CCT) LED strip	Living rooms, bedrooms, cabinets and commercial displays that need warm-to-cool adjustment.	Lotus Lantern

RGB and RGBIC

RGB changes colour across the whole strip together. RGBIC controls each LED independently, so one strip can display multiple colours at the same time.

Where the guides are going

Not every line above has a guide yet. We write them as we have something worth saying rather than publishing a page per product for the sake of coverage — so this list is longer than the guide index, and will stay that way.

If your product line is not covered and you have a question about it, ask us. Questions are how we choose what to write next.
