The LV5 Range of RGBWW LED Strip Controllers: One Platform, Four Solutions

When it comes to controlling RGBWW LED strip lighting in film, television, theatre, architectural installations, exhibitions, and immersive experiences, every project presents different challenges. Some applications require high-current outputs, while others demand ultra-compact controllers that can disappear into tight spaces or even be integrated into costumes and props.

To meet these varying requirements, the LV5 range has been developed as a family of professional RGBWW LED strip controllers, offering the same core functionality across multiple form factors and power capabilities. Whether you need maximum output power, simple setup, wireless DMX capability, or an incredibly small footprint, there is an LV5 controller designed for the job.

LV5 – The Industry Standard

The LV5 is the original and most popular member of the LV family. Designed to be robust, reliable, and straightforward to use, it provides an excellent balance between size, functionality, and performance.

Configuration is simple thanks to onboard switches that allow users to select operating modes and set DMX addresses quickly without the need for additional equipment. This makes the LV5 particularly popular in environments where rapid deployment and easy maintenance are important.

Ideal for:

• Film and television practical lighting

• Theatre productions

• Exhibition installations

• Architectural lighting projects

• General RGBWW LED strip control

LV5 HP – High Power Performance

For applications requiring greater output capacity, the LV5 HP (High Power) delivers up to 8 amps per channel, providing twice the current capability of the standard LV5.

This makes the LV5 HP particularly well suited to higher-power LED installations. Despite its increased power capability, setup remains straightforward thanks to an integrated display and onboard menu system that allows addressing and configuration directly from the unit.

Ideal for:

• Large-scale LED strip installations

• High-brightness architectural lighting

• Scenic and set lighting

• Applications requiring high current loads

LV5 Pico – Compact and Flexible

The LV5 Pico has been designed for installations where space is limited but full functionality is still required.

This compact RGBWW LED controller supports both wireless and wired DMX operation, making it extremely versatile for temporary and permanent installations. Configuration can be performed remotely via RDM (Remote Device Management), reducing the need for physical access once installed.

Its small size makes it ideal for integrating into set pieces, furniture, props, exhibition displays, and other locations where larger controllers would be difficult to conceal.

Ideal for:

• Hidden installations

• Exhibition displays

• Scenic lighting

• Prop lighting

• Compact architectural projects

LV5 Femto – The Smallest RGBWW LED Controller

At just 52 x 36 x 11 mm, the LV5 Femto is the smallest member of the LV5 family and one of the most compact professional RGBWW LED strip controllers available.

Developed for applications where every millimetre matters, the LV5 Femto is particularly popular for costume lighting, wearable technology, props, and miniature installations. Despite its tiny dimensions, it still provides professional-grade LED control and can be addressed using EMP Designs' convenient one-touch addressing system.

Ideal for:

• Costume lighting

• Wearable technology

• Prop integration

• Small practical effects

• Space-constrained installations

One Family, Multiple Applications

The strength of the LV5 range lies in its flexibility. By offering multiple controller sizes and power ratings while maintaining a consistent approach to RGBWW LED strip control, designers and installers can select the most appropriate controller for each application without compromising on performance.

Whether you're illuminating a film set, integrating lighting into costumes, driving long runs of RGBWW LED strip, or hiding controllers inside scenic elements, the LV5 family provides a solution tailored to your requirements.

From the powerful LV5 HP to the ultra-miniature LV5 Femto, the LV5 range demonstrates that professional LED control can be both powerful and compact, delivering reliable performance across a wide range of entertainment, architectural, and creative lighting applications.
