Mightex’s BLS-Series LED controllers are designed for driving Mightex LED light sources, including Type-H super high power LED light sources (BLS-13000 and BLS-18000 models). All BLS-Series LED controllers have two operation modes:

Manual Mode: the user can control the output current by manually turning a knob
Trigger Mode: the output current can be controlled via an external analog input signal between 0 V and 5 V

The control mode is selected with a slide switch on the front panel, and the factory default is “manual” mode.

High-speed, two-channel models BLS-1000-2 and BLS-3000-2 feature a high modulation speed of up to 100 kHz for BLS-1000-2 and up to 50 kHz for BLS-300-2. High-current, single-channel models BLS-13000 and BLS-18000 feature maximum output driving currents of 13,000 mA (BLS-13000) and 18,000 mA (BLS-18000) with a modulation speed of 3 kHz.

BLS-1000-2 and BLS-3000-2 provide DIP switches for maximum current selection on the rear panel, which allow the user to set the maximum output current of the channel to 500/750/1,000 mA for BLS-1000-2, and 1,000/2,000/3,000 mA for BLS-3000-2, respectively. The factory default is set to 500 mA for BLS-1000-2 and 1,000 mA for BLS-3000-2, respectively.

When the LED controller is set to “trigger” mode, the output current is fully controlled by the input analog signal (0-5 V).

Mightex’s BLS-Series of manual and trigger mode LED controllers currently include five models in total:
