This is a LED Bluetooth lighting control software. Connect to our wireless device and you can adjust the light color as needed, such as red, green, blue, yellow, purple, cyan, white and other colors. It can also adjust the brightness. You can also adjust the light change mode, such as jump, gradient, strobe, etc. You can set the light voice control mode, flashing mode, meteor mode, etc. This software is relatively simple to use. First, turn on our Bluetooth lamps, make sure the mobile phone Bluetooth is turned on, open our software, and our software will automatically link to our Bluetooth lamps. If the connection is successful, you can control the lighting effects through your mobile phone. Thank you
