Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about the Gleons Ambient LED Controller
Getting Started
You need a PC (Windows 10/11) or Mac (macOS 12+) with a USB port. The Gleons kit — available on Amazon and Flipkart — includes the LED controller, LED strip, USB cable, and mounting strips.
Under 60 seconds! Download the app, connect the USB cable to your computer, open Gleons, and hit Start. No wiring, no coding, no technical knowledge required.
Yes! Gleons works with any monitor and any resolution from 720p to 8K+. The edge sampling automatically scales based on your screen dimensions.
Yes! Gleons supports both Windows 10/11 and macOS 12 (Monterey) or later. Download the right version for your platform from our Setup page.
No! The Gleons controller is automatically detected by both Windows and macOS. Just plug in the USB cable and the software handles the rest.
Features & Modes
Gleons has three modes: PC Sync (mirrors screen colors to LEDs in real-time), Theme Presets (animated patterns like Wave, DNA, Rainbow, Fire, Aurora), and Music Sync (LEDs react to music — bass pulses, rhythm waves, and more).
Theme Presets are animated LED patterns. Choose from Wave, DNA, Rainbow, Fire, Ice, Aurora, Pulse, Lightning and more. Each preset creates a unique lighting effect — perfect for setting the mood without screen sync.
Music Mode listens to your audio (any source) and reacts in real-time. Choose from presets like Bass Pulse, Frequency Bars, Rhythm Wave, Vocal Glow, and DJ Strobe. The LEDs pulse, flash, and wave in sync with your music.
This is a color order issue. Click the 'Test Colors' button in the app, then change the 'LED Type' dropdown until Red shows as red. Most strips use GRB or RGB order.
Gleons supports up to 500 LEDs. The default setup comes with 120 LEDs which is perfect for most monitors.
Performance
For movies use 30-40 FPS, for gaming use 60 FPS, for casual use 30 FPS is plenty. Higher FPS uses more CPU. Start at 30 and increase if you want smoother transitions.
Lower the Target FPS to 30, close unnecessary background apps, and make sure you're using a reasonably modern CPU. Screen capture is naturally CPU-intensive.
Yes! Set FPS to 30-40 for gaming to minimize CPU impact. Most users report negligible performance impact on their games.
Troubleshooting
Make sure the USB cable is firmly plugged in. Try a different USB port on your computer. Restart the Gleons app. If the issue persists, try restarting your computer.
This is usually a loose USB connection. Make sure the cable is firmly connected. Try a different USB port. If the issue persists, contact our support team.
On Windows, make sure you're running Windows 10 or 11. On Mac, ensure macOS 12 (Monterey) or later. Try running as Administrator (Windows) or check System Preferences > Privacy & Security (macOS).
Make sure audio is playing and the correct input source is selected in the Gleons app. Music Mode works with any audio output — speakers, headphones, or Bluetooth. Check your system's audio settings.
