Zigbee Pro Max 5-in-1 LED Controller
The full-size Zigbee controller for a low-voltage LED strip. Five strip types, 5 V to 24 V, up to 15 A, and RGB and white that can run together.
Everything you need to know
The GL-C-601P joins your Zigbee network as a light and drives an analog LED strip on the other side. Pick one of five modes and the same unit covers 5 V, 12 V and 24 V strips up to 15 A. It pairs with the Hue Bridge, SmartThings, Home Assistant or a Zigbee Echo, and keeps running locally with the internet down. It's a controller, not a driver, so the strip still needs its own DC supply.
Product features
RGB and white, together
Most controllers hand over from colour to white as you move through the picker. This one mixes them, bringing the white channels up alongside the RGB at a saturation you choose. On an RGBCCT strip that's the difference between a colour wash and a colour wash you can actually read a book under.
One controller, five strip types
Press Opt to step through RGBCCT, RGBW, RGB, CCT and single colour, then wire the five channels to match. The same unit runs 5 V, 12 V and 24 V strips, so one part number covers most of what you'll meet.
15 A total, 10 A a channel
That's 180 W of strip at 12 V or 360 W at 24 V. The per-channel figure doesn't multiply up: 15 A is the ceiling however the load is spread. A 20 A blade fuse sits behind the input and pulls out by hand, with a 5 A spare in the box.
Three ways in, no screwdriver
Lever terminals take the power, strip and switch wires tool-free. Power can also arrive through the DC barrel socket, which accepts the full 5 V to 24 V range, or over USB-C at 5 V 3 A for short low-voltage runs.
Works with the network down
A momentary wall switch wires into the Push input for on/off and press-and-hold dimming without a hub. A second 2.4 GHz radio takes Gledopto's own remote with four scene memories, and PWM frequency steps from 600 Hz to 8 kHz to stop flicker on camera.

Take the Pro Max if you're running a 5 V strip, drawing more than 10 A in total, or loading a single channel past 6 A. Take the Mini if space is tight: it's a third of the length and gives up none of the control features. Both run all five strip types with the same radios, wall-switch input and PWM settings.
Yes. It's a Zigbee 3.0 device and needs a Zigbee coordinator: a Hue Bridge, a SmartThings hub, a Zigbee-equipped Echo, or Home Assistant running ZHA or Zigbee2MQTT. It won't join Wi-Fi on its own.
No. It's a controller, not a driver. You need a regulated constant-voltage DC supply matching the strip, wired into the controller's input.
No. It's an analog PWM controller with no data output, so WS2812, SK6812 and RGBIC pixel strips won't work.
For a modest run, yes: the socket takes the full 5 V to 24 V range. For anything near the controller's 15 A ceiling, use the lever terminals, because a barrel connector of that size is the weakest link in the chain well before the controller is.
A momentary, spring-return push button, wired as a dry contact. A standard toggle light switch won't work, and mains voltage must never go near that terminal.
Not directly. There's no Matter support in the controller. It can reach Apple Home or Google Home through a bridge that already exposes its Zigbee devices, such as the Hue Bridge or SmartThings.
