Frequently Asked Questions
Will the Solar-Tech controller work with LEDs that aren't Solar-Tech?
Yes, in most cases. It drives most 0-10V LED fixtures that take an RJ control cable, so you're not tied to Solar-Tech lights. If you're unsure about your fixture, send us the model and we'll check.
How many lights can the Solar-Tech controller run?
Up to 150 LED fixtures across its two zones, linked together with standard RJ control cables. The cables you need come in the box.
Can the Solar-Tech controller switch my extractor or dehumidifier?
Not on its own. It shows temperature and humidity live on the screen, but to switch kit on and off you'll need the external relay boxes, which are sold separately.
How does the Solar-Tech app connect?
The app connects to the controller over Bluetooth, so you can adjust schedules and settings from your phone when you're near the room. It doesn't use WiFi.
What's the difference between this and the ControlLED Touch Screen controller?
The Solar-Tech controller runs up to 150 fixtures over cable with a Bluetooth app. The ControlLED Touch Screen controller runs up to 200 fixtures over its own WiFi mesh, adds CO2 monitoring (sensor sold separately) and independent 680nm control on Satellite fixtures. If you're on Solar-Tech lights and don't need WiFi or CO2, the Solar-Tech controller is the better value.
Description
The Solar-Tech LED Lighting Controller runs up to 150 LED fixtures across two separate grow rooms from one touch screen. It's built for the Solar-Tech range, but it'll drive most 0-10V LED fixtures that take an RJ control cable, so you're not tied to one brand.
Set it up on the screen, then adjust it from your phone with the Solar-Tech app over Bluetooth. Sunrise, sunset, auto-dim and live temperature and humidity readings are all built in.
Two rooms from one controller
The controller is split into Zone A and Zone B, each on its own schedule. Useful if you've got a veg room and a flower room, or you're staggering two flower rooms. Give both zones the same settings and it simply runs them as one big room.
Lighting control
- Sunrise and sunset, so your lights ramp up and down rather than slamming on and off
- Auto-dim: the lights back off when the room gets too hot and come back up once it cools
- Up to 150 fixtures across both rooms, linked with standard RJ cables
- All the control cables you need come in the box
Temperature and humidity
Temperature and humidity are shown live on the screen. If you want the controller to actually switch kit on and off, like an extractor or a dehumidifier, you'll need the external relay boxes, sold separately. Without them it monitors but doesn't control.

Who is it for?
Growers running Solar-Tech fixtures, like the Solar-Tech 720W ID Split or the Solar-Tech 660W Lite, who want proper scheduling across one or two rooms without paying for a WiFi system.
Running ControlLED Dio-Tech Satellites or Spectro-Tech lights and want WiFi control of up to 200 fixtures? Have a look at the ControlLED Touch Screen LED Controller instead.
