The T-100K and T-500K families cover a long list of older and budget controllers. LEDEdit Pro 2026 ships 78 T-100K chip profiles and the combined T-500K-ALL profile, so many existing installations can be reprogrammed without changing hardware.
In LEDEdit Pro 2026
- T-100K Free: 78 chip profiles (77 export-ready), up to 512 LEDs per output.
- T-500K Free: one combined profile, up to 512 LEDs per output.
- Related branches such as Special / Break (T-100K-SC, T-100K-B-SC) and DMX / Monochrome (T-100K-DMX) are separate families in the export dialog.
Example: a 20 × 25 pixel curtain
A 20 × 25 curtain is 500 LEDs — just under the 512 limit. Stamp it with Pattern Builder using Columns Serpentine if the strings hang vertically, then run organic effects like Plasma Flow or Matrix Rain from the effects guide.
Tips
- With 78 profiles, the exact chip matters — compare the controller label and the IC name carefully.
- If an older controller refuses the file, the DXF + AVI fallback lets you finish in the free LEDEdit version it was sold with.
Chip profile notes: WS2811 / WS2812B
T-100K-B-WS2811 / WS2812 is the WS2811/WS2812B profile for this family — single-wire 800 kHz, 24-bit RGB, alongside T-100K-B-WS, T-100K-WS and T-100K-B-6812 / APA102 / P9813 etc. Set colour order GRB for WS2812B curtains and RGB for WS2811, and re-export if reds and greens are swapped — see wrong colours fix. Flicker, random colours or dark pixels mean the chip timing is wrong, not the order — pick the exact IC from the 78-profile list (T-100K-TM, T-100K-SM16716, T-100K-SM16726, T-100K-1882, T-100K-6021…) rather than guessing. T-100K-TLS / Curtain V5 is listed in data/lep_controllers.json (t100k_free) but not yet exported — for TLS curtains use T-4000 or K-8000 mapping and verify with the effects guide. The T-500K family has one combined profile T-500K-ALL covering its 512-LED budget hardware.
5-step export to SD card (T-100K / T-500K)
- Map the curtain — In LED Layout Creator stamp a 20×25 curtain (500 LEDs, just under 512) with Pattern Builder → Columns Serpentine for vertical strings. Set Max LEDs/port = 512 and confirm 500 of 512.
- Add organic motion — Create one layer for the curtain, add Plasma Flow or Matrix Rain from the effects guide, and preview the drape in per-LED preview — demo in the video tutorial.
- Pick profile — Output → Export LEDEdit .led → family T-100K Free + chip T-100K-B-WS2811 / WS2812 (or the exact chip on your hardware), or T-500K Free → T-500K-ALL for T-500K. Set colour order and FPS.
- Preflight & write — The dialog shows 1 output, 500 LEDs, scenes and FPS. Export the package, then Write to SD Card or copy the
.ledfiles to the card root. - Test — If the file is ignored, double-check the chip name (78 options make typos common) and see SD-card not playing and last LEDs dark. Fall back to DXF + AVI for free LEDEdit for legacy T-100K hardware.
FAQ
How many WS2811 / WS2812B profiles does the T-100K have?
One dedicated entry: T-100K-B-WS2811 / WS2812 (plus related WS variants). Use GRB for WS2812B, RGB for WS2811; swapped colours = order, flicker = wrong chip timing — see wrong colours fix.What about the T-500K?
The T-500K family has one combined profile T-500K-ALL for 512 LEDs per output in the export profile.Why does the controller not play the file?
With 78 T-100K profiles the chip name matters most — re-check the IC printed on the pixels. Also verify SD formatting, filenames and the 512 limit, then see SD-card fix and the DXF+AVI fallback.Related guides
