However, OLED lights are challenging to control because the physical properties inherent in OLED panels demand sophisticated drive techniques to obtain fast and accurate pulsing.

Key features:

  • 2 channels of independent control
  • Extremely fast, stable light output
  • Safe overdrive limits
  • Specifically designed for OLED lighting
  • Compatible with CCS OLED panels
