SC Aember
SC Aember is a two-channel controller designed specifically for the Aember biodynamic lamp with CCT LED strips.
Description
Section titled “Description”SC Aember is a controller designed specifically for CCT LED strips in the Aember biodynamic lamp. By adjusting the white color temperature, the lamp can support circadian rhythm use cases. The controller is supplied with preprogrammed Spectoda proprietary firmware, so it is compatible with other Spectoda-enabled devices.
SC Aember is controlled wirelessly from Spectoda web applications over Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), Wi-Fi local area network (WLAN), or WebSocket connections. Devices automatically form a self-healing and self-managing wireless mesh network, so many luminaires can be controlled from anywhere in the installation. An external gateway module is not strictly required.
SC Aember is powered either directly from 5 V or through USB-C from a USB adapter. The LED strips connect directly through the driver module.
