The Elation UNI BAR Single DMX Channel Pack is a specialized power and control interface designed to enable standard, non-DMX household or commercial LED light strips to be integrated into a professional lighting control network. This compact device acts as a translator and driver, taking a standard DMX512 control signal from a lighting console and converting it into a corresponding PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) output to dim and control the connected LED tape. Its primary function is to bridge the gap between low-voltage, constant-voltage LED products and the professional lighting world, allowing designers to utilize inexpensive, widely available LED strips for color-changing accent lighting, architectural reveals, and set decoration while maintaining full professional control over their intensity. This dramatically expands the creative palette for theatrical, event, and installation lighting without requiring proprietary, expensive LED tape systems.

Operation is intentionally straightforward. The unit is assigned a single DMX address, and the incoming DMX value (0-255) directly correlates to the brightness output of the connected LED strip, from fully off at 0 to maximum brightness at 255. The pack features screw terminals for secure connection to the positive and negative leads of the LED tape, and includes a removable link to switch its output between 12V and 24V DC to match the voltage requirement of the specific tape being used. It is powered by a robust external power supply that provides clean, stable DC power to both its own circuitry and the attached LED load. This simplicity makes it an accessible tool for technicians and designers of all levels to incorporate custom LED elements into a show with minimal complexity.

The UNI BAR Pack is engineered for reliability in production environments, housed in a durable plastic casing suitable for discreet placement. Its utility is significant in cost-sensitive projects or in situations requiring very long runs of LED tape, where using professional-grade, addressable fixtures would be prohibitively expensive. By providing DMX control over a single zone of standard LED tape, it allows for creating solid color washes, synchronized fades, or simple chases across multiple zones when several packs are used together. It is an essential solution for adding customizable, budget-friendly LED lighting effects to themed events, television sets, trade show booths, and permanent architectural installations.
