The Spectralite Node.
The Node is a network LED controller that drives eight parallel addressable strips from Art-Net or sACN over Ethernet. Spectralite discovers it, authenticates it, and configures it over the network.
Eight strips driven over the network.
The Node receives Art-Net or sACN over Ethernet and drives up to eight parallel WS2812B-compatible LED strips directly. Switch protocols live. It joins the network by DHCP, link-local AutoIP, or a static IP you set, and it uses the strips themselves as a boot display so you can read its state before any software is involved.
- Eight parallel WS2812B-compatible strip outputs
- Default 144 LEDs per strip, configurable up to 1000
- RGB or RGBW strips, with selectable byte ordering
- Ethernet: DHCP, link-local AutoIP fallback, or static IP
- Art-Net 4 input on UDP port 6454
- sACN (E1.31) input over multicast UDP port 5568, live-switchable with Art-Net
- Built on a Teensy 4.1
Plug it in and configure it in seconds.
Power the Node and it appears in the Spectralite Controllers panel within a few seconds. Set its name, start universe, strip length, and color order from there. Config updates and signed firmware go over the air, so you manage a whole rig of Nodes from one screen.
Hardware unlocks universes above your cap.
When an authenticated Spectralite Node drives them, universes above your license cap unlock. That makes the Node a direct way to grow a rig past your tier's universe count. It's also the fastest way to get pixels lit from Spectralite.
Run it on your Mac and pay the price on the page.
You don't need a dongle or a quote, and nothing locks you in.
