Warm living-room cove lighting driven by a QuinLED An-Penta-Plus analog LED controller
An-Penta-Plus · the flagship

Five big channels.
One digital.

The do-it-all of the line. 5 analog outputs at 10A each plus a digital channel, 30A total, wired Ethernet, and a fuse on every positive output — all dimming at ~20 kHz so it stays clean on camera.

Meet the An-Penta-Plus

Built to run the whole room.

Finned aluminium, an external antenna, wired Ethernet, and colour-coded pluggable terminals — wire each strip off the board and click it straight in, no contortions in the cabinet. Five 10A analog outputs plus a digital one, every positive output individually fused.

Why the Plus

Power and headroom, without the compromises.

This is the board for the ambitious install: long high-CRI white runs, multiple zones, and a spare digital output for a pixel accent — all clean, all fused, all local.

10A per channel

Five high-power analog outputs, 10A each, 30A total. Drive long, dense, bright white and COB runs that smaller controllers can't feed.

Wired Ethernet

10/100 Ethernet on board, so the most important light in the house never depends on Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi with an external antenna is there too.

Analog + a digital bonus

A sixth, digital output drives a run of addressable pixels — with a buck-converter option if those pixels want a different voltage.

Fused, per positive output

Five replaceable fuses, one on each positive output — so every analog channel is individually fused — plus power-injection terminals for the heaviest white strips.

~20 kHz, flicker-free

High-frequency PWM with real MOSFET gate drivers. No bands, no flicker on camera, smooth all the way down.

Expandable I/O

USB-C, a Stemma QT / Qwiic i²c port, button and rotary-encoder inputs, and a socket for the QuinLED temperature sensor.

On camera

The reason it ends up in studios.

Every channel dims at ~20 kHz — far above any camera's shutter or rolling-shutter readout. Footage stays clean even when you take the lights right down for a moody shot.

Same room, two controllers, one camera.

A simulation of what a rolling-shutter camera sees — the budget controller bands, the An-Penta stays clean.

Independent reviewer The Hook Up put it on a flicker meter and a camera: "absolutely zero flicker or banding throughout the entire dimming range." That's exactly what you want on a set. Why LEDs flicker on camera →

Wiring

Color-coded and forgiving.

One supply in, your strips out. The terminals are labelled and colour-coded, and every positive output is fused — so a slip costs you a fuse, not a strip.

PSU 12–48V DC An-Penta-Plus ~20 kHz · fused per positive output Digital · addressable pixels individual colours · live data Analog RGB · 3 channels whole strip = one colour 2× warm white · 2 channels
01

One supply in. Feed + and from a single 12–48V supply into Power IN, matched to your strips.

02

Strips out. Analog RGB on three channels, warm white on two, and addressable pixels on the digital output — every positive output fused, and the pluggable terminals make it easy.

03

Assign in firmware. Tell ESPHome or WLED what each output is. Done — see the guide.

Documentation & help

From box to working in an afternoon.

A step-by-step getting-started guide and a real FAQ for the An-Penta-Plus — wiring, ESPHome and WLED configs with the exact pins, power sizing, and the questions people actually ask. It covers the Ethernet wiring and how to set up the digital output for an addressable accent strip. Torn between firmwares? ESPHome vs WLED for analog, explained.
