FilmGrade FiveSpect 5-in-1 LED Strip Lights for Color-tunable Photoreactors
I am very interested in purchasing this product for applications as color-tunable photoreactors for my research lab. For these LEDs, do you have control over the 5 different color outputs you can use? Can you provide a comprehensive list of equipment needed to control the wavelengths of output light?
The FiveSpect 5-in-1 LED strip does indeed allow you to control five different channels at various levels. The five channels include monochromatic red, green and blue, as well as full-spectrum warm-white (2700K) and daylight (6500K).
Our LED spectrum simulator provides an overview of the various spectrum combinations that can be realized:

Installation does require a bit of assembly and configuration work. The most straightforward may be to utilize our DMX decoder / dimmer to control the various channels using the on-board controls. In addition to the DMX decoder, at minimum, you will also require a power supply unit and a female DC wire adapter.
When it comes to using the decoder, I noticed that they have Ethernet ports. Is this to hook up to a computer to control the light output? Is there a specific program that you would recommend for this type of control or am I way off base?
The RJ-45 jacks are for use with DMX systems, and unfortunately there is no way to operate the unit from a PC unless a third-party DMX-to-PC interface is used. Unfortunately this setup would be beyond the scope of the support we can offer.
Below I've linked to the instruction manual for the DMX decoder which should help guide you with instructions on how to use the product:
