Would this controller work with a 7 channel light? I know it won't work with the last 4 channels, but would the light function fine on the first 3?

I own one. I ended up buying/adding the Obey 10. If you are using an RGB light, each channel will run one color as a fader with the 3. If you plan on expanding at all, or want to control other functions, or get RGBA lights (4channels), you will need and want more channels. I ended up just using my obey3 as a controller for one seperate single spot. Once you start to understand some basic programming, you will want to be able to see the numeric displays to know exactly which assigned slot you are in for fade speeds and some of the auto chases, sound sensitivity, etc. I moved up to the Obey10 also.

Hey there. I bought it to hook up to my Chauvet geyser and it didn't work properly. It's a 4 channel geyser I found out after the fact. I doubt it will work for 7 channel.

Why have 7 channel light if you're not going to use all of the channels? For just a bit more money, you can get the Obey 10 and you'll be covered.

If you can chain them together. The light controller will control as many lights as you have, but you have to chain them from one light to the other. You can only put one input into the controller.

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.

I did actually did the very same to some degree. I connected only two light strips & it works fine. Can't see why only one strip won't work.The draw [amps] is well under the transformer's limit. If you think about it , if one section goes out. the remaining should still power up. Hope this helps, Edwood

Yes,it does with my multiple lights. But it will do the same thing to all of them. Set strobe and they all strobe. To avoid changing a single light you have to block the view to that light.

I was only pushing it on the controller and it would not work.I tried E. Manns post - You need to push the ))) button on the X-box AND the controller simultaneously - the X-box light and the cotroller light both need to both be swirling at the same time for them to sync up.I was ready to take the thing back - but E. Manns post is spot on and does work.Thanks E Manns!

After you set the house code (which you use for all your controllers) you set the individual unit (such as a lamp, or fan), then, you need something like (SC503 PHC02 X10 Maxi Controller By X10 Usa ). Thecontroller turns the lights on and off, and even dims them. You can have a clock controller that doesthis automatically. I have my whole house controlled this way, with controllers in various room plusauto clock controls. I hope this helps you. Nick

It is supposed to but I cannot get the system to work - it seems to dim some of the colors but on the white setting it just flashes. I have bought new controllers and remotes. The next stem is to buy a new set of LEDS or scrap everything.

My unit works fine. Does the red light on the sending unit flash on when you press the on button. If it does and the base unit is plugged into a working outlet (double check this by plugging the light directly into the outlet and turning the light on) then I would say you have a faulty controller.

One remote will work for all of them. I have three sets in my kitchen as floor level lights. Each is separate, but one remote works them all. I wish they would sell the sensor unit without the additional remotes that aren't needed.

No and that is my issue with this switch now. It worked great with incandescent bulbs but when I switched the three (porch area) out to LED, it controls them but also randomly turns each of the three in the circuit on and off like some odd Halloween light show -- only happens when it is supposed to be off and nothing picking up from the remote sensor. I even tried mixing back one incandescent bulb in an attempt to trick the circuit but it did not work any better.It looks like it is pulsing power out here and there which the LEDs are sensitive enough and require so little current that it momentarily lights them up.Time to look for another product that supports the new lighting standard.

It's a six channel receiver and on this board you only need 4 channels. Just connect all three wire red black and whit to throttle and you only need the signal wires for the rest. Should work just fine.

I have not tried it but at this paradise website I looked at an LED light, for example, and downloaded the manual and it appears to have the same controller recommendations as the halogen lights.

The fact that you have a 4 switch plate tells me little. I assume you mean that there are 4 switches at this SAME location. If this is correct, it will surely fit, a switch-plate change may be required if the switches are different types. The $64 question is "How many switches (at different locations) control this light?" If more than 1 (3 or 4 way) than you need Maestro switches at each location for the same fixture being controlled by this switch-set. If only 1 then this will work just dandy.

Sounds like you need an RGB controller. Take a look around amazon to see what works for you. Something like this eTopxizu 44Key IR Remote Controller for 5050 3528 RGB LED Light Strip

All of the Coyboystudio 4-channel units work together. That being they only trigger flash units. They do not vary the output of dedicated speed lights. I use mine to fire studio strobes and they do a great job. They will fire speedlights just as well but in manual mode.Oh, and despite that James said, mine are very reliable and work incredibly well for such an inexpensive system.

I purchased two complete sets of the remote controller and 3 slave units. Upon arrival I found that BOTH packages are the EXACT same device. Both control paddles will turn on/off any of the six total slave units. As you'll not upon receipt, on the paddle there is a small stick-um saying CH B on them, meaning they both will handle (probably) any number of slaves that are attuned to Channel B. I'd written in and asked Amazon if it is possible to get a controller that is tuned to other than CH B, and have not received a reply on that matter. So when you hit the #1 paddle toggle switch it will turn on ALL units that are the #1 remote.
