QuinLED An-Penta-Plus Wiring Guide
Back to QuinLED An-Penta-Plus Index
Hooking up your QuinLED An-Penta-Plus is easy! Below are some example configurations to show you how to hook up various configurations. Please also see the QuinLED An-Penta-Plus Ports guide.
Below are just examples, the output ports of the QuinLED An-Penta-Plus can be configured as desired within the hardware limits.
24v RGBCCT LED strip
A very common configuration for the QuinLED An-Penta-Plus will be the 5 channel RGBCCT LED strip so Red, Green, Blue combined with Warm White and Cold White.
24v RGB+2x White CCT LED strip (Alternative)
An alternative to the above is not using a single RGBCCT strip but combining multiple strips to produce the same result. This can have the benefit of being able to choose higher quality White LEDs or using a higher power version.
This also allows for higher power usage since the LED strips can be distributed over the 2x 8A positive power output.
2x Dual White (CCT) strip
If you want to use the QuinLED An-Penta-Plus for main lighting purposes connecting 2x Dual White CCT strips can be great, this gives you the ability to control each strip individually and also set each strip to the desired white color individually. The QuinLED An-Penta-Plus is especially suitable for this because of it’s high per channel power handling capabilities allowing you to run longer LED strips then for instance the QuinLED An-Penta-Mini.
When using a higher power or longer strip and a lower power or less long strip it’s recommended connecting the high power/longer version to the L1 and L2 channels, although these can handle the same amount of power and the others channels (L3, L4 and L5) they have double dimming channel outputs on the pluggable terminals to do power injection right from the controller!
It’s also advised to distribute the positive sides over the multiple positive outputs, this is explained more in the power handling guide.
5x single color white
For primary lighting purposes you can use each of the 5 channels to run a single color white LED strip, each of these can be controlled individually.
When using a higher power or longer strip and a lower power or less long strip it’s recommended connecting the high power/longer version to the L1 and L2 channels, although these can handle the same amount of power and the others channels (L3, L4 and L5) they have double dimming channel outputs on the pluggable terminals to do power injection right from the controller!
It’s also advised to distribute the positive sides over the multiple positive outputs, this is explained more in the power handling guide.

The above are just examples of how you can use and configure the QuinLED An-Penta-Plus, it basically has 5 channels and any combination you wish to make with these is supported, ESPhome is most flexible for this but many configurations can also be made in WLED.
