Practical Lighting Without the Wiring Nightmare. Making the LV966 work for you.

Introducing the LV966 96-Channel LED Controller for Film, TV, Theatre, and Immersive Installations.

As practical lighting becomes more advanced across film production, television, theatre, immersive experiences, escape rooms, exhibitions, and scenic design, one challenge continues to slow projects down:

Complex LED wiring.

Large LED installations often require:

• hundreds of resistors

• extensive soldering

• bulky cable looms

• time-consuming troubleshooting

• difficult DMX integration

What starts as a creative lighting concept can quickly become a technical bottleneck.

The LV966 96-Channel LED Controller was developed to solve exactly that problem.

Originally designed for Sci-Fi console and control-panel lighting used in professional productions, the LV966 has evolved into a powerful LED control solution for high-density practical lighting installations where reliability, speed, flexibility, and clean integration are essential.

What Is the LV966?

The LV966 is a compact 96-channel LED controller designed for:

• practical lighting

• prop lighting

• control panels

• miniature lighting

• scenic lighting

• immersive installations

• interactive displays

Unlike conventional LED controllers, the LV966 includes integrated 330Ω resistors on every low-power output channel, dramatically reducing installation complexity.

The controller also supports:

• DMX control

• CRMX wireless DMX

• high-current outputs

• flexible addressing

• 12–24V operation

This makes it ideal for both temporary production environments and permanent installations.

96 LED Channels with Built-In Resistors

At the core of the LV966 are 96 individually controllable low-power LED outputs.

Each channel includes a built-in 330Ω resistor directly on the controller board.

This eliminates one of the most repetitive and failure-prone aspects of LED installations: manually adding resistors to every LED.

Benefits of Integrated LED Resistors

Using onboard resistors provides several major advantages:

• Faster installation times

• Reduced soldering

• Cleaner wiring layouts

• Fewer connection points

• Simplified troubleshooting

• Improved long-term reliability

• Easier maintenance

• Reduced cable management

For productions working to tight deadlines, this can significantly reduce build time while improving overall reliability.

Whether you're creating:

• spaceship consoles

• illuminated props

• cockpit dashboards

• interactive exhibits

• scenic practicals

• architectural miniatures

…the LV966 helps simplify complex LED systems.

Designed for Professional Practical Lighting Applications

The LV966 was specifically developed for environments where:

• space is limited

• channel counts are high

• reliability is critical

• installations must remain serviceable

Common Applications Include

• Film and television practical lighting

• Sci-Fi control panels

• Prop lighting systems

• Cockpit and dashboard lighting

• Theatre scenic lighting

• Escape room installations

• Museum exhibits

• Exhibition displays

• Interactive experiences

• Architectural miniatures

• Model lighting systems

• Live event installations

By combining high channel density with integrated wireless control and onboard resistors, the LV966 allows lighting designers, prop makers, scenic artists, and technicians to spend less time managing infrastructure and more time focusing on creative lighting design.

Built-In CRMX and DMX Control

Modern productions require flexible lighting control systems.

The LV966 supports both:

• hardwired DMX

• integrated CRMX wireless DMX

This allows seamless integration into professional lighting workflows.

Connectivity Features

• DMX input via RJ45

• DMX pass-through

• Built-in CRMX receiver

• Wireless practical lighting control

Wireless DMX capability is particularly valuable for:

• moving props

• portable scenic elements

• temporary sets

• immersive experiences

• difficult cable runs

• live productions

By reducing physical cabling requirements, the LV966 helps accelerate installation and strike times while maintaining professional-grade control.

Six High-Current Outputs for Larger Lighting Loads

In addition to its 96 low-power LED channels, the LV966 includes six high-current outputs capable of supplying up to 4A each.

These outputs can drive:

• LED strip lighting

• accent fixtures

• practical fixtures

• larger lighting elements

• powered scenic lighting

This combination of precision LED control and higher-current capability allows the LV966 to manage both detailed practical lighting and larger scenic lighting elements from a single compact controller.

Flexible DMX Addressing for Complex Installations

Complex lighting systems require flexible control structures.

Using the onboard menu system, users can independently assign DMX addresses for:

• low-power outputs

• high-current outputs

This allows:

• grouped lighting behaviour

• offset channel mapping

• synchronised lighting effects

• independent scene control

• scalable installations

The result is a controller that adapts easily to both simple and highly advanced lighting systems.

Built for Modern Production Workflows

Professional productions need lighting systems that are:

• fast to deploy

• reliable under pressure

• compact

• easy to maintain

• flexible to control

The LV966 was designed specifically for these requirements.

Operating from a 12–24V input and featuring an onboard regulated 5V supply, the system supports direct connection of individual LEDs while remaining suitable for portable rigs, touring installations, and permanent scenic builds.

Why the LV966 Simplifies Practical Lighting

Traditional LED installations can become difficult to manage as channel counts increase.

The LV966 reduces:

• installation time

• soldering requirements

• wiring complexity

• troubleshooting workload

• physical cable bulk

At the same time, it increases:

• reliability

• scalability

• flexibility

• installation speed

• creative control

For lighting professionals working in film, television, theatre, immersive design, exhibitions, and live events, this creates a faster and more efficient workflow from concept through to final installation.
