Triton Blue TR-LED101D - DMX Controller and Driver Module for RGB LED Strips
The Triton Blue TR-LED101D is a professional module that integrates the functions of a transformer and driver, specifically designed for powering and controlling RGB LED strips. This device is the ideal solution for lighting designers, installers, and technicians seeking precise and reliable control via the standard DMX protocol. Its robust and functional design allows for easy integration into all types of lighting projects, from permanent architectural installations to dynamic stage sets for events.
Thanks to its ability to connect directly to a 220-240V mains supply via a cable with an integrated Schuko connector, installation is greatly simplified by eliminating the need for external power supplies. Equipped with DMX input and output, the TR-LED101D can be easily daisy-chained with other units, allowing synchronized control of complex lighting systems from a single DMX console or controller.
Main Features
Professional DMX Control
The module operates on 3 DMX channels, allowing complete and independent control of the primary colors (Red, Green, and Blue) of the LED strips. It incorporates standard 3-pin XLR connectors for DMX signal input and output, ensuring a secure and compatible connection with most professional lighting equipment and facilitating the creation of daisy chains without signal degradation.
Direct and Safe Feeding
With a 230/240V (50-60Hz) power input and an efficient 20W power consumption, this driver is optimized for stable performance. To ensure equipment and installation safety, it is protected by an internal 2-amp fuse.
Versatile Output for LED Strips
Power is supplied to the LED strips via a 4-pin connector, designed for quick connection to the Triton Blue strip system. However, its versatility allows it to be used with LED strips from other manufacturers; the output cable can be replaced and soldered directly onto the driver's printed circuit board (PCB), offering maximum flexibility for any project.
Robust Construction
Designed for continuous professional use, the TR-LED101D is built to last. It operates in a wide temperature range, from -20 to +45 degrees Celsius, and withstands humidity levels up to 90%, making it suitable for a variety of work environments.
Benefits for the Lighting Professional
-
Simplified Installation: By combining the transformer and driver into a single unit with a direct connection to the mains, assembly time and the number of components required are reduced.
-
Maximum Flexibility: Native compatibility with the Triton Blue ecosystem and easy adaptation to third-party LED strips make it a versatile choice for any inventory.
-
Total Creative Control: DMX control opens up a range of possibilities for creating dynamic lighting environments, smooth color transitions, and precisely synchronized effects.
-
Reliability and Durability: Its solid construction and quality components ensure stable and prolonged operation, minimizing the need for maintenance.
Use Cases
This module is the perfect tool for a wide range of professional applications, such as:
- Architectural accent lighting on cornices, facades and interior elements.
- Set design for theaters, television studios and concerts.
- Ambient and decorative lighting in restaurants, bars, hotels and commercial premises.
- Creation of high visual impact stands at trade fairs and exhibitions.
- Dynamic window display projects for shops and businesses.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Can I use this driver with LED strips that are not from the Triton Blue brand?
- Yes. Although optimized for Triton Blue connectors, the design allows for a modified output connection. A qualified technician can replace the cable and solder the wires from another LED strip directly to the driver board, ensuring compatibility.
- How many meters of LED strip can I power with a single module?
- The maximum length of the LED strip depends on its power consumption, which is measured in watts per meter (W/m). This driver provides 20W of power. To calculate the maximum length, divide 20W by the power consumption per meter of your LED strip (e.g., if the strip consumes 5W/m, it can power up to 4 meters).
- Do I need an additional DMX controller for it to work?
- Yes. The TR-LED101D is a DMX receiver and driver. To control the color and intensity of the lights, it needs to receive a DMX signal from an external controller, such as a lighting console, DMX software, or a dedicated controller like the Triton Blue TR-LED101C.
- What are the DMX input and output connectors used for?
- They allow you to connect multiple units in a chain. The DMX signal enters the first module through the "DMX IN" connector and exits to the next module through the "DMX OUT". This allows you to control a large number of drivers with a single DMX signal line, simplifying the wiring.
