How to choose a remote control for lighting?

How to choose a remote control for lighting?

First of all, a remote control is a device for controlling other devices at a distance or from a remote location. There are many different types of remotes, but we'll focus on those that are used directly to control light (LED strips, luminaires and auxiliary accessories).
 

Infrared (IR) remote control - uses infrared rays to transmit signals to the device. These remotes use an outdated signal transmission system. They function only in the direct line of sight of the device "receiving" the signal, which may cause some inconvenience when using them.


 

Radio frequency (RF) remote control - uses radio waves to transmit signals to the device. Such remotes are used to control devices in case of remote control and do not require direct pointing at the signal receiver. Such remotes are the most popular among users due to their advanced functionality and affordable price.


 

Bluetooth remote control (BT) - uses Bluetooth signal transmission technology and may have special functionality for controlling devices. This is a special way of controlling devices that can be supported by mobile phones, computers, tablets and other devices. Such remotes are not very common, and the range of signal transmission is limited (compared to RF remotes), although they do not require direct pointing at the "receiver" of the signal.


 
If we take a closer look at RF remotes, we can distinguish between remotes for controlling single-colour, two-colour, and multi-colour LED strips.
 
In addition, such remotes can be 1-zone, 4-zone, 8-zone and multi-zone.
 
According to the method of entering information for signal transmission, RF remotes are divided into push-button, touch and touch-button remotes that combine the functionality of the first two types of remotes.
 
In addition, such remotes can be handheld (they have a standard familiar shape) and wall-mounted (they are fixed permanently and look like wall light switches).
The most common and frequently used remotes are collected on our website and are available at this link.
 
An important aspect when choosing a remote control is its compatibility with signal receivers, so when choosing remotes, it is recommended to choose remotes from the same manufacturer and check their compatibility with controllers, i.e. signal receivers.
 
You can order light control panels with delivery across Ukraine in the LEDs4 online store. Some types of remote controls are available at a discount, and if you haven't found the model you need, we are always ready to provide advice and help you find it.
