Overview
Universal single color mini LED dimmer with RF remote can dim most 5~24VDC LED products from 15%-100% using Pulse Width Modulation (PWM). 8 dynamic modes with adjustable speed control. Features power cycle mode retention. Maximum load is 4 amps. Attached 4" power input and controller output wire leads. 1 Remote to 1 controller pairing. Range greater than 30ft in open air. Battery for RF remote included.
Remote Functions & Installation Instructions
Turns on controller or enters standby mode. Previous settings recalled on power up.
Switches to static mode from dynamic
Set brightness to 100%, 50%, or 25%. (Static light mode only)
Switch to dynamic mode from static light mode. In dynamic mode these buttons switch between the various dynamic modes.
Adjusts speed of dynamic patterns. Press Speed+ to increase speed and press Speed- to decrease it. Unit will automatically switch from static to dynamic mode when pressed.
Adjusts brightness in static light mode. Press Bright+ to increase brightness and press Bright- to decrease it. Unit will automatically switch from dynamic mode to static mode when pressed.
1. Remove power from controller for at least 5 seconds
2) Apply power to controller and within 5 seconds hold down both 100% and 25% keys for 5 seconds
1. Remove power from controller for at least 5 seconds
2. Apply power to controller and within 5 seconds hold down both On/Off and Mode+ keys for 5 seconds
Controller accepts DC 5V to 24V. The red wire should be connected to positive and black wire to negative. Power supply voltage should match that of the LEDs to be used with the controller. For example, a 12VDC LED strip will require a 12VDC output power supply
The red output wire should be connected to LED positive and black wire to LED negative. The peak output current is 12A.
Remove plastic tab from battery compartment. Remote uses 3V CR2025 battery, replace only with same type.
- Only power with 5~24VDC power supply.
- Controller can control a maximum of 30 meters of our single color LED Strip. Over 30 meters, the strips have to connect with an amplifier to reinforce the transmission of signal. Use one amplifier for every 30 meters of additional LED Strips.
- Do not exceed 80% of Power Supply capacity when calculating Power Supply size to use in your system.
- Supply voltage should match operating voltage of led product.
- Pulsating Fade
- Fast Fade
- Half Brightness Fast Fade
- Strobe
- Slow Blink
- Fast Blink
- Multi Flash Strobe
- Short Duration Strobe

Better than LDRF-8A
This little dimmer does everything the LDRF-8A does, and more... except push 8 amp loads, so if you have a ton of LEDs your out of luck.
The number one feature of this dimmer in MY opinion, is that if you have your LED power supply on a physical switch (on / off switch), when you turn the switch on, the dimmer defaults to an ON status. The LDRF-8A defaults to off, forcing you to use the remote to turn them on. The MCBRF-4A can still function if you forget / lose / don't want to use the remote.
With the remote, you can switch to pre-set brightness levels (LDRF-8A didn't have pre-set, only slow adjustments with the remote). You can cycle through various pulse modes. You can adjust the brightness other than the 100%/50%/25%, you can adjust the pulse mode speed, and you can turn the lights on or off. When turned off or powered down, the dimmer remembers the previous settings (pulse / speed / brightness) and goes back to it.
And it's cheaper... This is the perfect dimmer!
An Amazing Product
This is an amazing product at a great price! I wired it in, and it worked instantly to control my new LED kitchen lighting.
I would actually like less! Please make a simpler model without the disco effects. In household lighting we need nothing more than on/off and dimmer functions.
Also, there is no good way to wall mount the remote. Yes, we could simply use double-stick tape, but that will make a mess when battery change time comes. Please make some sort of snap-in trim ring for the remote.
WOW technology for peanuts
This is a great gadget. The remote works perfectly to over 50' indoors. The remote has both rf and led outputs so you can see if the battery is flat. The receiver module is tiny and trivial to wire. My only complaint is the unit has too many modes for household lighting. For under cabinet apps you will have little use for the various strobe modes. In a police car ok, but in a kitchen, no.
Repeat purchase
This compact unit is easily wired into a DC circuit to give control the intensity. Yes, it has various flashing modes but for my landscape lighting they are not needed.
Yes, the unit remembers the last setting so it can be wired after a timer.
Remember that the range is limited and 40’ is the most you can expect with 25’ being more realistic.
