ESP-LED Series

A compact family of DIY WLED controllers built around the ESP32-S3 SuperMini - from sound-reactive 5V boards to the new wide-voltage DD4012SA variant.

Audio Reactive

Built-in support for INMP441 I2S mics - realtime music-reactive effects using WLED's audio usermods.

Perfect for music-synced installations and live visualisers.

WLED Integration

W
                LED

Fully compatible with WLED - presets, effects, and seamless Wi‑Fi control via mobile or home automation.

Use existing WLED tools, presets and remote control ecosystems.

Wide Voltage

ESP-LED-03 adds DD4012SA support so you can drive 12V and 24V strips while keeping the ESP on a stable 5V rail.

Short high-current traces and protection parts keep the logic section safe.

Which ESP‑LED is right for you?

Choose by feature: want music-reactive effects, need 12/24V compatibility, or prefer the smallest footprint? Quick badges below help you decide - or jump straight to each board's page for full specs and ordering.
