The StarEFX WiFi Controller 2048 is the control core for StarEFX ceiling lighting effects. Supplied pre-configured for PULSE and MATRIX panels, and for compatible RGBIC (addressable) LED strip integrations.

The controller includes a wide range of standard presets, with a few LightEFX customisations configured for StarEFX ceiling applications; including tailored animations and scene behaviour designed specifically for StarEFX installations.
