Can this controller be used for a non-RGB led strip? I am looking into using high density smd 5050, single colored.

I have hooked up individual separate leds to each of the outputs before and it worked fine. i think what you would be doing is about the same.

as long as you can DMX them together, you should be fine. just remember that this controller is only a 3 Channel, whereas the RGB is a 7 channel, so you will lose some functionality, but you can mess around with some of the programming options and get a lot of it back. all in all it's a great little controller to use for up lighting purposes. if you want to put on a fancy show you will need something more programmable.

Yes, if you strip the wire carefully, the RGB LED Light Strip is easy to soldier to. The maximum run distance still applies though, so be careful as you add length that you have enough power to drive the length of wire you add plus the length of the RGB LED Light Strip.

So so. The controller that you'll use has to be able to create a kind of violet colour. The more LEDS you have, the better UV effect you get.

RGB strips connect to RGB controllers. Depend on the specific controller, please consider B0077IRWH2 or B008M0KYWY.

You would need to purchase a 10mm 4pin Plug Female Connector Adapter Extension Cable for 5050 RGB LED Strip Lights: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00D7XU5JI/ref=oh_details_o09_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 You would also need a 4 Pin Connector Male for Led Strip Lights RGB 5050: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008LR35VK/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

This will only work with mono colored Led strips. It will work with power adapters with 12V adapters needed for most led strips with a max of 12A.

I am not sure, but the connector on the controller has 4 pins which coincide with the conection on the light strip. I hope this helps you.

As far as I know there are two ways to control these light strips- using a 2.5mm center-positive 12v connection, or utilizing the 6803 controller (a much better option in my opinion.) Search for 6803 controller on here or eBay and you'll see them. These strips utilize 4 wires (V+, Gnd, Data, Clock) but also have a barrell jack connector in case you don't get the controller or prefer not to use these to their full capabilities.

The controller is rated for 4Ax3, four amps for each color. This totals 12 amps, or 144 watts. It will thus handle two 6A (72 watt) strips; typically these are 300-LED RGB strips. You connect the strips in series, one to the next. Alternatively, it can handle four 3A strips (150 LEDs, or 144 watts), also in series.

No, I would not recommend this controller to control a motor. It lists as a controller for led or ribbon lights.

you can use 5050 SMD RGB Color Changing LED strip, Strip to Strip so no soldering is involved

This is used primarily in 2 ways: you have a controller without enough power to drive a full RGB strip, or you want longer strips and need an amplifier between 16ft lengths. If your controller can drive any 12V RGB lights then it can drive this, and you put all your amperage intensive LED strips onto this amp. And if you just need more length, you put one of these at the end of the strip you are running and drive it with the first one, then the output drives the next strip.

All the 5050 leds draw approx 0.2W per LEd, if the strip is 300 leds that's 60W, 60W at 12V is 5A. So if you run them in white at full brightness you will need a 5A 12V supply, If you have less you may have problems with the remote not working correctly and an overloaded supply can burn out and if you get low enough in Voltage the white button will give you red, and there are a host of other strange colors that do not follow the correct button color. In most cases 2A will most likely work at low brightness but at full brightness it wont be enough.

Hi Barb. It worked for me to connect 2 strips to the same power source and control them with the same controller. I haven't tried with 3 strips yet.

It's only for controlling leds in 3 channel mode . You need a full size dmx controller for the led moving heads

The LED strip only has a molex connector; this requires a power supply inside a computer to power it. You would rewire the strips to be powered by another 5V source, but I would go with a different DIY solution.
