Universal Stair & Hallway Controller Elegant F40 RGB / RGBW / CCT / MONO
Elegant F40 is an advanced, Polish-made stair and hallway controller designed for smart management of digital (addressable) LED strips. The device allows you to achieve spectacular lighting effects, such as step-by-step cascading light rollout, smooth color waves, and dynamic illumination of hallways and staircases tailored to the user's direction of movement.
Thanks to its versatile design, the controller supports the most popular types of addressable LED strips – from single-color (MONO), through color temperature adjustable strips (CCT), to multi-color RGB and RGBW strips. The product is available as a base option (controller only) as well as in expanded sets featuring the FUT089 wireless remote control or the B4 touch wall panel.
Key Advantages and Features of the Elegant F40 Controller
- Support for Digital Addressable Strips: Precise control over individual LED sections, allowing you to create smooth light transition animations along stairs or hallways.
- Universal LED Compatibility: Works with MONO, CCT, RGB, and RGBW LED strips.
- Directional Intelligence: Two dedicated sensor inputs (PIR1, PIR2) automatically detect entry to the stairs from the top or bottom, triggering the lighting effect in the correct direction.
- Direct On-Casing Configuration: A physical rotary switch allows quick selection of the operating mode and integrated circuit (IC) type without complex programming.
- Integration with MiBoxer / Mi-Light System: Built-in 2.4 GHz radio receiver allows pairing with remotes and touch panels from this renowned brand.
- Polish Product: High build quality, stable operation, and full technical support.
Operating Principle and Lighting Effects
The Elegant F40 stair controller redefines modern hallway and staircase lighting. Upon motion detection by a sensor (e.g., an optical or PIR sensor installed at the start of the stairs), the controller smoothly illuminates consecutive steps. Once the user passes, the light gradually dims in the same sequence or according to a set delay time.
When using digital RGB or RGBW strips, users gain access to a rich color palette and dynamic tonal transitions, giving interiors an exclusive, modern character.
Equipment Variants Available
Depending on your installation needs, the device can be ordered in one of the following variants:
