Light Controllers

Quick answer

A light controller is a small electronic device that sits inline with a light or LED strip and switches or dims the load on command — controlled via WiFi (smartphone app, Alexa, Google Assistant) and/or RF 433MHz (paired wireless switches). Bright Ideas Ahmedabad supplies the Prime Zen ZEN-series: 5 controllers covering AC receivers, TRIAC and 0-10V dimmers, RGBW colour-changing strips, and CCT tunable-white strips.

Lighting Controls · Prime Zen ZEN Series

5 light controllers, one ecosystem.

Prime Zen light controllers — compact WiFi + RF 433MHz receivers and dimmers that turn any existing light, fan or LED strip into a smart-controlled load. Install once inside an electrical box; control from the smartphone app, voice assistant, or paired Prime Zen wireless switches. Five models cover every common load type: AC switching, TRIAC dimming, 0-10V analog dimming, RGBW LED strips, and CCT tunable-white strips. Bright Ideas is an authorised Prime Zen channel partner.

How the ecosystem fits

The Prime Zen smart-home stack.

The Prime Zen ecosystem is three pieces working together: physical switches on the wall, controllers inline with the load, and the smartphone app on top. Mix and match — buy only what you need for each room.

  • Wireless Switches — battery-free push-button switches that mount anywhere on a wall. Send RF 433MHz signals to paired controllers.
  • Touch Panels — wired smart touch-glass switch plates with capacitive icons, app + voice integration. For new construction with neutral wiring.
  • Light Controllers (this page) — inline receivers / dimmers that actually switch or dim the load. Accept commands from switches, app, or voice.
  • Prime Zen App + Alexa + Google Assistant — remote and voice control layer that sits on top of the controllers and switches.

A quick buyer's guide

Which light controller fits.

Pick the controller by the load you're controlling.

  1. 01Switching AC loads (lights, fans, plug points). ZEN-2C5W is the go-to — dual channel, 500W LED or 1100W resistive per channel at 220V. Fits inside the existing switch box. Two channels = two devices controlled from one inline unit.
  2. 02Dimming TRIAC-compatible LED bulbs. ZEN-DIMMER for any TRIAC-dimmable LED bulb up to 150W at 220V. Smooth 0–100% dimming. Use this if your LED bulbs explicitly say "dimmable" on the box.
  3. 03Dimming commercial 0-10V drivers. ZEN-ANALOG-DIMMER for downlights, panel lights and architectural drivers that use the 0-10V analog dimming protocol. Common in offices, retail and commercial projects.
  4. 04Colour-changing LED strips. ZEN-RGBW for any RGBW (red+green+blue+white) LED strip at 12–24V DC. 3A per channel, 12A total — up to 288W of strip at 24V. Used for cove lighting, accent lighting, mood scenes.
  5. 05Tunable warm-to-cool white strips. ZEN-CCT-W for CCT (colour-temperature-adjustable) LED strips. Same DC voltage range and power capacity as ZEN-RGBW but optimised for whites — circadian lighting, hospitality scenes, task lighting that shifts through the day.

FAQs

Common buyer questions.

What is a light controller?

A light controller is a small electronic device that sits inline with a light fixture or LED strip and switches or dims the load on command. It receives commands via WiFi (from a smartphone app or voice assistant) and RF 433MHz (from a paired wireless switch). The Prime Zen ZEN-series light controllers cover AC receivers, TRIAC and 0-10V dimmers, RGBW colour-changing strips, and CCT tunable-white strips.

Do I need a light controller for smart home automation?

If you want WiFi or voice control over a load — light, fan, LED strip, dimmer — without rewiring, yes. The light controller installs once at the load end (inside the existing electrical box) and then accepts commands wirelessly. Cheaper and faster than rewiring smart switches; works with any existing wall switches you already have.

Which Prime Zen light controller should I choose?

ZEN-2C5W for general AC switching (two lights, fans, or appliances at 220V). ZEN-DIMMER for TRIAC-dimmable LED bulbs at 220V (up to 150W). ZEN-ANALOG-DIMMER for commercial 0-10V LED drivers (downlights, panel lights). ZEN-RGBW for colour-changing LED strips at 12-24V DC. ZEN-CCT-W for tunable warm-to-cool white LED strips at 12-24V DC.

Can the Prime Zen light controllers work with Alexa and Google Assistant?

Yes — all 5 Prime Zen light controllers have WiFi 2.4GHz built in and integrate with both Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant for voice control. The Prime Zen smartphone app gives full remote control plus scene programming and scheduling.

Can one light controller pair with multiple wireless switches?

Yes — each Prime Zen light controller can pair with up to 10 Prime Zen wireless switches per channel. This means you can have multiple switch locations controlling the same light or fan. Useful for two-way stairs, hotel rooms with bedside + door switches, or large rooms with multiple entry points.

Do these controllers need WiFi to work?

WiFi is needed only for app + voice control. The RF 433MHz pairing with wireless switches works without any WiFi — useful as a fallback in homes with poor router coverage or frequent power cuts. The controller still does its job (switching/dimming) when WiFi is down, as long as you have at least one paired wireless switch.
