Action Lighting 2-8 Circuit Daisy Chainable Universal Triac Controller
Take control of your lighting system with the2-8 Circuit Daisy Chainable Universal Triac Controller – a robust and versatile solution designed for seamless integration and precise lighting management. Engineered with precision and built to last, this controller offers unparalleled performance and reliability, making it the ideal choice for both residential and commercial applications.
Overview
The 2-8 Circuit Daisy Chainable Universal Triac Controller is a high-performance, solid-state switching solution designed to replace legacy mechanical controllers. Utilizing phase-angle controlled Triac technology, this controller offers precise, rapid switching without the arcing, contact wear, or mechanical latency common in traditional systems. Each isolated output supports 24-265VAC loads across 2 to 8 independently controlled circuits, delivering quiet, heat-efficient, and highly reliable performance with zero moving parts. This makes it ideal for applications such as signage lighting, carnival ride lighting control systems, and mobile concessions where space, durability, and fast switching response are essential. The controller’s compact footprint and resistance to vibration and environmental contaminants further enhance its reliability in demanding mobile and outdoor environments. Superior to mechanical controllers in lifecycle, thermal efficiency, and switching speed, the Universal Triac Controller is the modern standard for distributed AC control.
