Preset files to download

Two WLED presets files with the looks from the guides above. Each one fills slots 1 to 10: eight looks, a playlist in slot 9 that cycles through them, and an Off preset in slot 10 for timers.

To load one, open the light's web page and go to Config > Security & Updates, tap Restore presets, pick the file and upload it.

Restoring replaces every preset on the light, playlists included. Tap Backup presets on the same page first if you want to keep yours. How backups work.
