Product Overview
DS18 LC-DRM
High-powered Digital LED Bluetooth ® Controller (IP66 Water Resistant Rating)
DS18’s LC-DRM is how you bring your system to life. Whether you’re running marine setups, show builds, side-by-sides, or street rides, this waterproof LED command center gives you pro-level control over every light!
Bluetooth® 5.4 with Real Range
Control your entire LED setup straight from your phone using DS18’s LC App for iOS or Android. With 100+ feet of Bluetooth range, your lights stay under control wherever you are—on the boat, in the pit, or from the driver’s seat.
Powerful & Flexible
The LC-DRM pushes up to 180W / 15A total and handles up to 8 LED channels in parallel, meaning you can light up your entire system—front to back, side to side. It works with popular digital LED chipsets (like WS2811, SK6812, SM16703), supports up to 1280 LEDs, and includes short-circuit protection for safe operation between 10–15V DC.
Built to Last
The LC-DRM is IP66 water-resistant, making it perfect for use in boats, Jeeps, ATVs, and any ride that goes beyond pavement. Just don’t submerge it—it’s tough, but not waterproof.
Light Up LOUD
With “Music Mode” and “Mic Mode,” your lights move with your soundtrack—whether it’s bumping through the system or just playing ambient sound. Use the color wheel, mode palette, speed sliders, and DIY color zones to build your look.

FAQs
Please read our FAQs page to find out more.
RMS vs. MAX power — which number do I actually care about?
RMS is what your gear handles continuously; MAX is the short burst it can survive without complaint. Match your amplifier's RMS output to your speakers' RMS rating — sizing off the MAX number is how magic smoke gets released.
What does the IP65 rating on DS18 marine gear actually mean?
It's dust-tight and rated against low-pressure water jets from any direction — built for spray, rain, and the occasional wave over the bow, not for full submersion. If something's going somewhere it could sit underwater, that's a different conversation entirely.
How do I match an amplifier to my speakers without guessing?
Add up the RMS rating of everything the amp will power, and pick an amp whose RMS output (at your speakers' impedance — usually 4-ohm) lands close to that total. Undersized is thin sound; wildly oversized is a fast way to blow a voice coil.
Can I mix marine-grade gear into a standard car audio setup, or the reverse?
You can run marine-grade gear in a car — it's just over-built for that environment, no downside besides cost. Running non-weatherproof car audio gear in an open UTV or boat is the direction that causes problems.
What gauge wiring kit do I need?
It scales with your amp's power draw and the length of the run — DS18's OFC kits come in 4-gauge and 8-gauge for a reason. Undersized wiring on a high-draw system is a voltage-drop and heat problem waiting to happen; when in doubt, size up.
