# wLightBoxS / wLightBoxS PRO

**What is the wLightBoxS / wLightBoxS PRO controller used for?**
The wLightBoxS / PRO are devices designed to control 12–24V DC MONO LED strips. The PRO version of the controller is fitted with an external antenna, which increases the Wi-Fi range, and a reinforced casing, which means the controller can be installed in locations exposed to the elements.

**Does the wLightBoxS / wLightBoxS PRO controller have an effects editor?**
The wLightBox and wLightBox PRO controllers offer 10 user-editable lighting effects, allowing you to create your own lighting arrangements with specific light intensity, fade time and effect duration. Both models are equipped with a pop-up menu that allows you to save your favourite light intensity settings, activate an effect and edit its parameters, such as duration and fade times.

**What power rating of LED strip can I connect?**
In both controllers, the maximum current per channel is 5A – so, depending on the supply voltage, this corresponds to 60W (for 12V) or 120W (for 24V).

**How does the wLightBoxS controller differ from the wLightBoxS PRO controller?**
The wLightBox and wLightBox PRO controllers differ mainly in their intended use. The wLightBoxS model is designed for installation in a flush-mounted box, whilst the wLightBoxS PRO is intended for outdoor use.

**Can a button be connected to the wLightBoxS / wLightBoxS PRO controller?**
Yes, a monostable (bell-type) button without backlighting can be connected to the controllers.
