Ready to take full control of your colours? The 44 Key IR Remote and Controller for RGB LED Strips from LED MONTREAL (SKU CONT44K) is the little brain your colour-changing lighting has been waiting for. Whether you call them LED strip lights, LED light strips, led strip lighting, RGB tape light or ribbon lighting, they all need a controller and a remote to come alive — and this kit gives you both in one box. It's the upgrade to the classic 24 key remote: same simple point-and-click operation, but with far more colour modes and options, plus a create-your-own-colour feature that the smaller remote simply doesn't have.

Twenty preset colours are printed right on the keypad, so you can jump from a warm sunset orange to a deep aquamarine with a single press. Beyond the presets, six DIY (Do It Yourself) keys let you build and store your own shades: pick a colour, press a DIY key, then add or remove Red, Green and Blue until it's exactly right, and press the DIY key again to save it. Brightness up and down, on/off, and the usual dynamic modes — flash, strobe, fade and smooth — are all one tap away. The package includes the 44 key infrared remote and the RGB LED strip controller, and the controller is compatible with 12V equipment ONLY, so it drops straight into the vast majority of residential and commercial RGB strip installations.

This is the finishing touch for basement home theatres, bedroom ceiling coves, kitchen toe-kicks, staircases, bars, restaurants, salons, retail window displays and gaming setups — anywhere a colour-changing glow sets the mood. Canadian homeowners love it for cottage decks and rec rooms, while contractors appreciate how fast it wires in between a 12V power supply and an RGB strip run: no app, no pairing, no Wi-Fi hiccups, just point the remote and go. Built for both residential and commercial projects, it's the easy answer when a client asks for "a remote for my colour strips." Add the 44 key remote and controller to your next RGB project and give every room its own palette.

What's in the box
The CONT44K kit ships as a complete two-piece set: the 44 key infrared handheld remote and the matching controller for RGB LED strips. The controller sits inline between your 12V power supply and your RGB strip, while the remote talks to the controller's infrared receiver eye. Because the link is IR, there's nothing to configure — no network, no account, no phone app. Point the remote at the receiver, press a key, and the colour changes instantly. That simplicity is exactly why this style of controller remains the go-to choice for renovations, rentals, cottages and commercial fit-outs where the end user just wants a remote that works.

Colours, DIY keys and modes
Where the 24 key remote gives you the basics, the 44 key version opens the door to serious colour play. You get 20 preset colours laid out across the keypad — reds, greens, blues and every blend in between — plus dedicated brightness up/down and on/off keys. The star of the show is the set of 6 custom DIY keys. Select a colour, press a DIY key to assign it, then fine-tune by adding or removing Red, Green and Blue until the shade matches your brand colour, your team colours or that one perfect teal. Press the DIY key again and the colour is saved to that button for good. Dynamic modes such as flash, strobe, fade and smooth are also on the keypad for parties, holidays and display lighting.

Electrical and installation details
This controller is compatible with 12V equipment ONLY — check your power supply and your strip before ordering. A typical install is straightforward: connect your 12V driver or power supply to the controller's input, then connect the four-conductor RGB strip (common anode plus R, G and B) to the output, matching the markings on the controller. Keep the IR receiver eye visible and out of the cabinet or cove so the remote's signal can reach it, and give yourself a little slack in the wiring so the controller can be tucked behind a valance, inside a cabinet toe-kick or above a drop ceiling tile. For long runs, break the installation into sections fed by their own supplies rather than pushing everything through one controller.

Where it earns its keep
Picture a basement theatre where the ceiling cove shifts from neutral white-ish blends during movie night to a saved DIY purple for game night; a restaurant bar front that matches the season; a salon reception wall that carries the brand colour exactly, thanks to a DIY key; or a teen's bedroom where the LED light strips behind the headboard change with the mood. Retailers use the preset colours for window displays, while homeowners run led ceiling lights strip coves and under-cabinet accents from the couch. If you're replacing a lost or broken remote on an existing 12V RGB installation, this kit lets you swap both the remote and the controller together so everything speaks the same language. No documentation is currently posted for this item, so if you need wiring guidance for a specific RGB strip, match the R, G, B and + markings on your tape to the controller's output terminals.
