i bought four of the lights and i want to use them with a dmx controller but how do i get them to communicate with the system?

This is a fairly difficult question to answer. What kind of controller are you using?

You're going to have to set one to either dmx setting, and then set the rest of them in slave mode, and hook them all up with dmx cables and connect it to your controller

For our application at the church that i pastor we chose to go with the myDMX software package and adapter which we got at Amazon as well. Reason being it appeared to be far more expandable than a traditional lighting board. It was very simple to get them up and running with a couple of basic scenes. I just chose a light profile (I used a generic one. They didn't have these in the list but I emailed support and they are creating a profile) dragged it over to the lighting scene setup which btw, told me each light address so i could set the corresponding light and then I just moved each slider to the color that i wanted. The generic profile only gave me 3 channels but I really didn't need strobing or anything fancy yet til i get the profile from support. Are you using software or a physical light board? I hope this helps. If I can help more please let me know.

Make sure they are on d001 and they are all connected by the dmx cables. They should work just fine

This is a controller board. It does not supply power to the light fixtures themselves, it simply plugs into the DMX interface for the lights (or the DMX dimmer switch if the lights do not have onboard DMX). The lighting fixtures can be whatever wattage their power connection (dimmer switch, power strip, wall outlet) and the light fixture itself supports. The board is powered by a wall wart from a standard 110 outlet. I use this in conjunction with ADJ dimmer switches connected to PAR36 cans containing 700 watt bulbs, but I could just as easily use 1000 or 1500 watt bulbs or higher if I chose, and if my PARs supported them (which they do).

You need a controller box to drive the LEDs, but that power supply you linked should be able to power a controller box. I'm not exactly sure how long it would be able to power the lights, but it would work with a controller box

The circuit board is not soldered directly to the RGB led, so it can be easily removed and replaced with any 12v DMX controller with 3 or more channels. (or even an Arduino with a DMX shield.)

you'll need some kind of USB - DMX interface http://www.amazon.com/Interface-Adapter-DMX512-Lighting-Controller/dp/B009B5MX0K for instance. (I use the enttec product) note this controller box (Keedox) simply dims the output voltage of the three + DC pins for output to a LED strip or fixture, you'll also need an input power supply (and of course the leds - I used something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Flexible-Changing-Ribbon-Ledwholesalers-2034rgb/dp/B00476B908/ and http://www.amazon.com/Ledwholesalers-Power-Suppply-Driver-Transformer/dp/B0034GUEY4 THEN you will also need an application to communicate to the interface, I use this: http://freestylerdmx.be/ because it's free and it works, there are a lot of programs out there that cost hundreds, many of them have free trials, so I tried them, and none worked as well as freestyler as far as I could tell... and there were some really expensive ones out there. As far as I could tell, the real pros who use DMX seem to rely on expensive DMX control boards (HOG, Whole HOG) and not use computers as much. but freestyler has let me put on some cool lightshows on my stage. (http://www.mosquitoe.net/music) also someone mentions this has ethernet ports - it doesn't, it's just a second set of sockets for wiring with RJ-45 plugs, and you cant use them both, one or the other only... DMX control cables come in both flavors and you can mix them in an environment... I think this box could actually transition from DMX to RJ45 but i never tried it.

Knowing Dmx lighting fixtures if this box operates the same way I would say there may be a Dmx channel addressthat may trigger that strobe function that may be where you need to start. The blinking light is to let you know it receiving dataAlso check for a Dmx terminator if you not Shure run it thru your search engine

It's not a DMX controller that's included. You can only set the box to sound mode and it will run the built in patterns automatically. To control speed/color/or any specific pattern, you will need a separate controller.

Ive nevr tried it on a dmx board. But I know they work with light jockey but i still had to tweek the profile.

Are these considered (addressable) strips? for instance if I get a DMX controller would I have control over each individual led? Im making a led display need to be able to adjust color/brightness of each pixel independently

Zee question is whether your DMX is on RS-485. DMX is a protocol that can sit on top of all manner of cabling. If it's DMX E1.11, it might work. I've been using it for Modbus/RTU devices and it works well.

The Lights are DMX controlled meaning you can use a DMX controller or Daisy chain them. Instruction sheet included. You can dim them by the controls on the back and change colors as well. I daisy chained them. Work very well and sturdy. Each has a DMX in and out as well.

Sounds like you may have them wired into a two way switch (something that would turn on regular lights then when turned off, it sends the power to the LED lights). Its difficult to assist since I don't know how you wired them or where you spliced the hot (red) wire into.

It just sounds like the dmx address is incorrect. I hope this helps. I'm not sure about the little light because we mounted ours in a wooden light box and would have to dis-assemble to check. Sorry.

You need to use a separate power source unless your dmx socket has power like the Eternal Lighting wireless Puck.

This unit is not artnet compatible. You'll need a true DMX interface controller.Also, one of mine didn't work at all and had to be returned.

Hey, no lag and I've connect all three at once before. One night I think I may have had interference though because the lights would jump to a random setting then reset to my dmx controller. For the price I think they do a good job though.

And use the Euro lite USB DMX 5 12 PRO driver in freestyler! En tech didn't seem to work though this is promoted as Entec compatible
