About MagWLED-1

A tiny WLED compatible LED strip controller, powered by USB-C Power Delivery. Perfect for small and medium sized installations!

Powered by USB-C to 3A@12V (36W) or External power

MagWLED-1 can be configured to negotiate up 36W via 3A at 5V or 12V USB-C Power Delivery. Voltage selection is done via an on-board DIP switch.

The board can also be powered by an external power supply (up to 12V), without USB connected.

Small footprint and low profile

The board has only surface mounted low-profile components and a maximum height of only 7.6mm and a footprint of 48x32mm. This makes the controller easy to install in tight spaces.

Wago Wire Terminal Block

The MagWLED-1 has an original Wago 2060 terminal block which is a high quality, low profile and provides an extremely strong connection for the power, data and ground LED wires. Use the included silicone pigtail connector or any 18-24 AWG wire you prefer.

Easy to Flash

The on-board USB-C connector can also be used as an easy to way to flash new firmware.

High quality PCB

The PCB is a 4-layer board with gold plated pads (ENIG). It has excellent thermal properties, low electromagnetic emissions and is highly resistant to corrosion.

Very efficient idle operation

The controller has a built in MOSFET "relay" which completely disables output power to the LED strip when WLED is in "off" state. Additionally, the combination of a highly efficient switching regulator and the use of an ESP32-C3 module translates into idle power draw of just 0.35W, which is less than half of several similar boards.

Flexible mounting options

The perfectly flat underside of the board makes it very easy to stick it to any surface with adhesives or screw it into place with the four 3mm mounting holes.

Excellent data signal integrity

A high performance level shifter, a 249Ω and an extremely low loss LDO ensures high quality data signals, even along long stretches of cable.

ESD Protection

The USB port and LED connector are both protected from Electrostatic Discharge with ESD diodes.

Resettable fuse

MagWLED-1 has an automatically resettable 3A fuse. This provides an extra safeguard in the extremely unlikely event that under-voltage or over-current regulation of the USB power source fails.
