Strands SKYN1 EXP Wireless Controller - Wireless Bluetooth Control for Skylord EXP

Strands SKYN1 EXP Wireless Controller is the heart of the wireless SKYN1 EXP system, bringing control of compatible Skylord EXP vehicle lighting together in one compact controller. With Bluetooth Mesh, 8 function buttons and two separate groups, you can control driving lights, LED light bars, position lights, work lights and warning lights directly from the driver's position - without complicated programming, unnecessary signal wiring or an app.

The system is designed to make advanced vehicle lighting significantly easier to install and operate. Connect compatible Skylord EXP lights to power, pair them with the controller and SKYN1 EXP automatically identifies which type of lighting has been connected. Each function is then assigned to the appropriate button on the controller.

One Controller for the Entire Skylord EXP System

SKYN1 EXP Wireless Controller is developed specifically for compatible Skylord EXP lights. Instead of using separate switches and control systems for different types of vehicle lighting, the functions can be brought together within one controller.

The controller's eight main buttons are divided into two rows, creating two separate lighting groups. Each group includes dedicated control for:

• Driving lights and LED light bars
• Position lights
• Work lights
• Warning lights

This makes the system particularly useful on vehicles where several different types of lighting need to be combined and where clear, consistent and easy-to-use control from the driver's position is important.

Automatic Identification of Connected Lights

One of the most important features of SKYN1 EXP is that compatible lights are automatically identified via Bluetooth. There is therefore no need to manually programme which button should control which type of lighting.

When the lights are paired with the system, they are automatically assigned to the correct function:

• Driving lights and LED light bars to the driving light button
• Position lights to the position light button
• Work lights to the work light button
• Warning lights to the warning light button

The result is an intelligent system that reduces configuration and makes it significantly easier to create an advanced vehicle lighting setup.

Wireless Bluetooth Mesh - Less Wiring

Communication between the controller and compatible Skylord EXP lights takes place wirelessly through Bluetooth Mesh. The lights still require a power supply, but control signals do not need to be routed through conventional separate wires all the way into the cab.

This can significantly reduce the amount of control wiring required and is particularly valuable on modern passenger cars, vans, service vehicles, pickups, trucks and work machinery where routing cables through the vehicle can otherwise be time-consuming and complicated.

The result is a cleaner electrical system and a much more flexible installation when additional compatible EXP lights are added.

No App Required

SKYN1 EXP is designed to operate as a standalone system. No smartphone or app is required for normal lighting control.

Once the lights have been paired with the controller, the functions are managed directly through the physical buttons. This makes the system fast and intuitive to use while driving or working with the vehicle.

Control E-Mode and Xperience Mode Directly from the Controller

On compatible Skylord EXP driving lights and LED light bars, the same button can be used for several functions. A single press switches the driving light on or off, while a double press changes between E-mode and Xperience mode.

The button backlight indicates which mode is currently active, allowing the driver to quickly see and control the light's current function directly from the controller.

Switch Between White and Amber Position Lights

If the connected Skylord EXP light features position lights in several colours, these can also be controlled through the SKYN1 EXP controller.

The position light is switched on or off with a single press, while a double press is used to switch between available position light colours, such as white and amber. The button backlight also changes colour to indicate which position light is currently active.

Advanced Warning Light Control

SKYN1 EXP also provides extensive control over compatible Skylord EXP warning lights, warning beacons and warning light bars.

Depending on which EXP product is connected, the controller can be used to:

• Switch the warning light on or off
• Change between different flash patterns
• Activate steady light
• Switch between day and night modes
• Control synchronised and asynchronous functions on compatible directional warning lights

This allows advanced warning functions to be managed directly from the same controller as the rest of the vehicle lighting.

Two Separate Groups for Flexible Installation

The two rows on the SKYN1 EXP controller function as Group 1 and Group 2. This makes it possible to divide compatible lights into two separate groups and control them independently.

On a work vehicle, for example, work lights on the left side could be assigned to the first group while work lights on the right side are assigned to the second. Different groups can also be used for lighting at the front, rear, roof or other areas of the vehicle.

This provides considerably more flexibility than systems where all lights of the same type always need to be controlled together.

Support for Up to 32 Compatible EXP Lights

SKYN1 EXP uses a Bluetooth Mesh network and supports up to 32 compatible lights in total. The lights can be divided between the controller's two groups depending on how the lighting is installed and how you want to use it.

This makes the system suitable for everything from a simple installation with a pair of driving lights to significantly more extensive lighting systems on service vehicles, trucks and work machinery.

Approximately 80 Metres of Wireless Range

The controller has a stated Bluetooth range of approximately 80 metres, depending on the surrounding environment and installation conditions.

The long communication range provides plenty of flexibility for use in passenger cars and vans as well as larger trucks and machinery where lights may be installed on several different areas of the vehicle.

Memory Function Restores Your Latest Settings

SKYN1 EXP features a built-in memory function that remembers the most recently used setting. This means the lighting does not need to be configured from scratch every time the system is used.

This is particularly useful on work and service vehicles where the same combination of work lights, warning lights or other functions is used regularly.

500 mAh Rechargeable Li-ion Battery

The controller is completely wireless and powered by a built-in 500 mAh Li-ion battery. This means the controller does not need to remain permanently connected to the vehicle's electrical system during use.

The battery is replaceable and the controller features a clear five-level battery indicator, making it easy to monitor the remaining charge.

After 30 seconds without a button press, the controller automatically enters sleep mode to reduce energy consumption. Pressing a button wakes the controller again.

USB-C Charging

SKYN1 EXP Wireless Controller is charged through USB-C. A 1-metre USB charging cable is included, making it easy to charge the controller in the vehicle, workshop or another suitable location.

Strands states approximately 50 minutes to reach more than 80% charge and approximately 1.5 hours to reach more than 90% under recommended charging conditions.

Mount the Controller Horizontally or Vertically

The controller can be mounted both horizontally and vertically, making it easier to find a suitable position in different vehicle interiors.

Two mounting options are available:

• Magnetic mounting for a flexible and easily removable installation
• Permanent mounting with a mounting plate and 3M adhesive

Additional labels for both horizontal and vertical mounting are included, together with a neutral label. This allows the button symbols to be adapted to the controller's mounting orientation.

Compact Design for Modern Vehicle Interiors

Despite its extensive functionality, the SKYN1 EXP controller is very compact. It measures approximately 110 mm wide, 62.5 mm high and only 17.5 mm deep.

The slim design makes it easy to position on the dashboard, centre console or another suitable surface without taking up unnecessary space.

Illuminated Buttons for Clear Feedback

The button illumination is not only decorative but also provides visual information about the system's functions. The controller backlighting uses colours including white and amber to indicate active functions and selected modes.

Only functions where compatible lights have actually been paired with the controller are activated, keeping the interface clear and easy to understand.

Designed for Use Inside the Vehicle

SKYN1 EXP Wireless Controller has an IP30 rating and is designed for installation and use inside the vehicle cabin. It should therefore not be installed externally or exposed directly to rain, water or heavy moisture.

The controller's stated operating temperature is -30 °C to +65 °C.
