I want to control a small 12 volt RGB LED display, specifically, I want to fade VERY slowly from one color to another. Will this unit do that?

This unit has many limitations. I tried it out but returned it to purchase the Chauvet Obey 10. It is more expensive but is more versatile. You can easily fade colors manually but automatic fading will be a function of the available programs of your specific RGB unit. I purchased a pair of American DJ Profile Panels which have a slow multicolor fade program on board. One fader on the Chauvet Obey 10 is used to select that program and another fader is used to select the speed of the fade.

No. The unit works on 120 Volts Ac. If you want to run it off 12 Volt DC , you would need to purchase a DC to AC Inverter that converts 12 Volt DC ( from a battery) to 120 Volts AC. There are much cheaper ways to do this.. Just look for color LEDs that operate on 12 Volt DC... Hope this information Helps.

I haven't seen these in action in a long time (i bought it as a gift), but if I recall correctly you cannot program it to fade custom colors. You can fade one color or you can have it fade thru them all in the same order every time. If you are electronically minded you could capture the IR signals used for the colors you want and with a trip to radio shack you could build a IR blaster set to cycle thru the color and fade signals how you want to get the effect you want. Its probably not worth the trouble though of course I could be wrong about programming colors. I haven't seen these in action since Christmas 2012 so I could be remembering wrong.

No it cannot. These is a scene controller so it controls scenes that are run. It allows up to 4 scenes and you can also control dimming.

The Obey is a DMX controller, so any DMX enabled device can be controlled by it. Additionally it has manual a fog port which equates to a 1/4" TRS jack for binary devices. Although it is only made for one device presumably, you may be able to string multiple together on this channel. Because the Mega Par Profile unit has DMX, the UV LED channel will be included in the 8 that are allocated to that device. Basic cans only use 3 of the 8 channels. One for Red, one for Blue, and one for Green. Yours will likely use one more for UV, although I am not familiar with this unit. After looking it up though I may be buying a pair :) Bear in mind that the Obey 40 is expecting to hand out groups of 8 channels, one for each slider on the faceplate, with the option of supporting dual bank (16 channels) on a single device and a "Bank" button to flip back and forth between channel sets. From the product specifications of that par can: - DMX-512 protocol - 5 DMX Channel modes: 4/5/6/9/10 channels - 5 Operational modes: RGB+UV Dimmer Mode, Sound Active Mode, Auto Run Mode, Static Color Mode, & DMX Controlled If you run this unit in 9 or 10 channel mode you would need to break out 16 channels (2 sets of 8 sliders,) and have 6 or 7 left unused. The other modes will all fit into a single bank of 8 channels. In short, yes. DMX controllers don't really care what is hooked up to their channels in the fixture. They are merely providing a control signal for the fixture to interpret however it sees fit to. What level of control is available and what goes on which channel is up to the fixture manufacturer, and is pretty much always included in the documentation that came with the unit. If it has DMX, it should be compatible.

Never seen one that will wait that long. This one won't for sure. I think you would need to get a DMX controllable led strip that you can program to fade that far apart.

No. You must use a decent dimmer that's led capable. The old dimmers are hard on the electronics in the led

I'm not exactly sure that I understand what you are asking, but here's my best shot. Hope it helps! Short answer: No. Long answer: If I understand this correctly you have 12V LEDs and a 110V dimmer? This power supply regulates to a target voltage around 12V optimally independent of the input voltage. Simply put, if you put 110V or 90V to this it should still output 12V. There is a voltage adjustment on here that you could use as a dimmer that lets you adjust the regulated voltage from 10-18V. So if you don't need a remote dimmer adjustment and this is enough variance for you then it might still work. Hope that helped, and let me know if you have any other questions!

I can only can give my opinion but, in any past experience I have had regarding LED displays like this is not good.Generally, you would have to replaceThe whole display module.... But I might be wrong. :0/

No - You should not use this to control two lights. Using a Fan Control to dim lights will quickly "burn" up the controls inside the device and it won't dim correctly anymore.

If you want to control LEDs to the music beat, you can choose the RGB music controller (ASIN: B00MN1W04I, B00GGKJ2TI). (Note: it is only RGB music led controller)

You need separate led drivers for different colors. If you get two ir remote controlled drivers you can control both separately with the same remote

Yes, I used the Lerway Mini LED Controller Dimmer with RF Wireless Remote Control DC 5~24V 12A R106It allowed me to use a remote to dim, flash and strobe at different speeds.

Depending on how many LEDs you're using, but 20 Guage will probably be plenty. If you use a dimmer, make sure that you're using one that is a pulse width modulator and not just a potentiometer or rheostat.

yes, the unit has DC Settings of 1.5, 6.0, 9.0, 12.0---so you would put in the range just higher than your battery voltage and read the actual voltage output. It should be at least 90% of the labeled voltage to work properly, and you would need to ignore the color of the lights except when the battery label voltage is exactly the same as one of settings on the DC dial.

You would have to define (your own string of LEDS). I know the strips have Resistors on them that are somewhat matched to the controller. I think the controller uses current limiting output transistors or pulse width modulation for the color control variation. You could try your own. I think the output voltage is 12v the same as the input. Does your own string have resistors, if it does was it part of a 12 or 120 volt set ? If your thinking of controlling some LED christmas lights then this is the wrong controller for you.

This device is NOT to be modif led, it will alter the functionability of the design. For the less than $7 cost, in my opinion, it will be worth trying it.Cheers!
