LED tape lighting is now a staple of modern residential design, used extensively beneath kitchen and bathroom units, within media walls, and as feature lighting throughout the home.
While LED tape technology itself has advanced in terms of efficiency, colour control and flexibility, the methods used to control it have often lagged behind - typically requiring bulky controllers, complex wiring or unintuitive interfaces that add time and cost to installation.
In response to this gap in the market, Forum Lighting Solutions has introduced an innovative new range of 12–24V Wireless Controllers and Battery-Powered RF Switches.
Designed to work seamlessly with single colour, CCT and RGB+CCT LED tape, the range delivers a genuinely simple, flexible and future-proof control solution that meets the needs of installers, wholesalers and end users alike.
At the heart of the range is the compact 12–24V Wireless Controller, which is approximately half the size of most traditional LED controllers, allowing it to be discreetly installed in confined spaces such as cupboards, ceiling voids or behind furniture.
Steve Kaye is Marketing Manager at Forum; “We have deliberately simplified the installation by creating clearly labelled, push-fit terminals, significantly reducing wiring time and minimising the risk of errors on site.
“A built-in green status LED provides immediate visual confirmation that power is connected, and the LED tape is operating correctly - an invaluable feature during commissioning and fault-finding.”
The Ra switch on the controller allows easy local control of connected LED tape. This switch sets the minimum dimming of the tape, ensuring no flickering takes place.
In addition to app-based functionality the controllers are also RF-enabled, allowing them to be paired with Forum’s new Battery-Powered Wireless RF Switches. These switches provide instant, tactile control without the need for wiring, making them ideal for retrofit applications.
A single press controls on/off, a long press enables smooth dimming and a double press accesses CCT or RGB functions. Supplied with high-quality cell batteries offering a lifespan of at least five years, the switches are available in 1, 2 or 3 gang formats, finished in either matt white or matt black. As no wiring or drilling is required, they can be mounted virtually anywhere, offering complete flexibility in placement.
Once installed, lighting control becomes effortless. The controllers connect wirelessly to the Tuya smart app, which is fully compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google Home. Through the app, users can switch lights on and off, dim output, adjust colour temperature and control RGB colours with ease.
The interface is intuitive and user-friendly, making smart lighting accessible even to first-time users. Timers and scenes can be programmed quickly, while full voice control adds further convenience for everyday use.
Steve added; “By combining compact design, wireless flexibility, smart-home compatibility and true ease of installation, our 12–24V Wireless Controller range represents a significant step forward in LED tape control.”
To support wholesalers and contractors, Forum Lighting Solutions has also developed a working POS display, available to all trade counters. This allows customers to see first-hand just how simple and effective the system is, reinforcing confidence at the point of sale. The range is fully supported with detailed technical specifications in the Forum Edition 11.1 catalogue and on the Forum website www.forumlightingsolutions.com
