The Gledopto WLED Signal Amplifier (GL-BS-001WL) is a WLED digital LED signal amplifier designed to regenerate and retransmit the data signal for individually addressable digital LED strips. The device is not a standalone LED controller and can only be used between an existing WLED controller and a digital LED strip.
The signal amplifier regenerates the digital data signal, ensuring reliable communication over longer LED strips or across multiple consecutive LED sections. The GL-BS-001WL is particularly suitable for installations where the number of LEDs or the cable length would otherwise degrade the signal quality.
The device operates from a 5–48 V DC power supply, making it compatible with most common digital LED systems. It does not control LEDs, does not run WLED firmware, and does not connect to any smart home network. Its sole purpose is to regenerate and forward the digital data signal.
The Gledopto WLED Signal Amplifier (GL-BS-001WL) is compatible with the Gledopto WLED controller family, including the GL-C-615WL, GL-C-616WL, GL-C-618WL, and GL-C-620WL models. It is recommended for installations where the length of the digital LED strip or the distance between the controller and the LED strip requires signal regeneration.
