  • Long-range RF remote: 433.92 MHz with up to 30 m control distance and no line of sight needed.
  • Installer-friendly safety features: Power-off memory and overheat protection, backed by a 2-year warranty. 
PRODUCT DETAILS:

The M-Series RGB/RGBW Multicolor LED Light Strip Control System is a dedicated RF controller for multicolor LED strip projects that need reliable, professional-grade control. Designed for RGB and RGBW 5–24V DC LED strips, it provides smooth dimming, color selection, and dynamic modes from a compact receiver and low-profile handheld remote.

The RF remote communicates on 433.92 MHz, so it works through cabinets, walls, and furniture with a wireless range up to 30 m in open areas, making it easy to hide the receiver near power supplies or inside coves. Speed, brightness, color, and lighting modes are all controlled from the remote, while built-in power-off memory restores the previous setting and overheat protection helps safeguard the system during heavy use.

With a maximum output of 5A × 4 channels (20A total) and support for both RGB and RGBW, the M-Series is engineered for larger multicolor installations that need consistent, synchronized control across multiple runs or zones. It functions as a constant-voltage controller (not a power supply) and integrates cleanly into standard 12V and 24V tape-light layouts.

  • Function: RGB / RGBW multicolor LED strip controller
  • Control method: Radio Frequency (RF) remote
  • Remote frequency: 433.92 MHz; control distance ~30 m in an open area
  • Supported voltage: DC 5–24V constant-voltage input
  • Max output load: 5A × 4 channels, max 20A total (240 W at 12V; 480 W at 24V)
  • Receiver dimensions: 175 × 44 × 30 mm
  • Remote/controller dimensions: 60 × 104 × 9 mm

WHAT'S INCLUDED:

  • 1 × M-Series RGB/RGBW RF receiver (CTR-RGBW-M8) – 4-channel constant-voltage controller with screw-terminal outputs.
  • 1 × RF remote control – multi-function remote for brightness, speed, color, and mode selection. 
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

Q: What does the M-Series RGB/RGBW control system do?
A: The M-Series is an RF controller for RGB and RGBW multicolor LED strip lights. It provides wireless control of brightness, speed, color, and lighting modes using a dedicated RF remote and receiver, making it easy to create dynamic, multicolor scenes in residential or commercial spaces.

Q: Which LED strips are compatible with this controller?
A: This controller is designed for RGB and RGBW LED light strips that run on 5–24V DC and use constant-voltage, common-anode wiring. It is not intended for single-color strips or addressable (pixel) LEDs.

Q: How much power can the M-Series controller handle?
A: The maximum rated load is 5A per channel, up to 20A total. That equates to 240 W at 12V (12V × 5A × 4 channels) or 480 W at 24V (24V × 5A × 4 channels) when all channels are fully loaded. Designers should keep the total connected strip wattage under these limits.

Q: Does the RF remote require line of sight, and what is the range?
A: No line of sight is required. The system uses 433.92 MHz RF, with a wireless control distance of up to 30 m in open areas, so the receiver can be hidden in cabinets, closets, or ceilings while still responding to commands.

Q: What functions can be controlled from the remote?
A: The RF remote supports brightness and speed adjustment, color selection, and lighting mode changes such as static colors and dynamic effects. This allows quick tuning of the overall look without accessing the controller or a separate app.

Q: Does the controller remember my last settings after the power is turned off?
A: Yes. The M-Series includes power-off memory, so when power is restored, it returns to the previously set mode and brightness, avoiding the need to reconfigure after each power cycle.

Q: Can this controller be used for single-color strips?
A: No. The M-Series is only compatible with RGB and RGBW LED light strips. For single-color (white) strips, HitLights recommends a dedicated single-color dimmer such as the R110 mini RF dimmer instead.
