Can anyone provide more information on this statement "Synchronous version multiple lamps will sync if within proximity", such as distance?

I think it means if you have multiple bulbs near each other they will operate the same. The come with a spectrum cycle mode. So basically if the bulbs are in unobstructed range of the remote, they will respond to the same button press on one remote. I have a 3 bulb staggered tower that i have to hold the remote close to the bulb so the other lights dont change color too.

about 10-12 feet max . . . line of sight to exposed bulb. For instance, lamp shade you must have angle above or below to work. We find them to be fun, easy to use accents you can put most anywhere.

yes, one remote will control multiple lights. You need to have the lights sitting together in order to sync them. But if you just want to keep track of one remote, it will work for multiple lights.

yes you can. just make sure you tie in the sync wire to all lights. you can also make them alternate. instructions come on the package.

I will speak from my experience. NOTE: THIS IS NOT A MANUFACTURER SUPPORTED OR RECOMMENDED MODE OF OPERATION!! MAKE SURE YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING!!! I had the same problem: existing 12VDC with inline wireless dimmer. I checked the construction of the lamps, they are built simply as 4 1W LED's in series, without a current limiter or constant current source. I measured the voltage of the white adapter (~12V) and the current (~250ma). These measurement are consistent with an earlier measurement made on this type of LED (3,3-3,5V forward voltage). Considering the above observations, I used 3 of these LED lamps without the white converter, in parallel, fed by my existing 12V 5A power supply: current consumption ~0.5A yielding a total power of 6W for 3 lamps. It was clear to me that this will work well in my setup, more so when after adding my 12-24 wireless LED controller in series with the lamps (my wife prefers to dim the LEDs to 40%). Bottom line: works perfectly without the white converter, using my 12VDC power supply and the inexpensive wireless LED dimmers available on line. Also: the light hue is a perfect match to the incandescent bulbs they replace, without the greenish tint of some earlier white LEDs. Will update in a few months.

I agree with Cool4u and Katie. It is to sync the remote to the lights. I have all 3 of my lights on a post and are about 4' off the ground. The remote comes in handy. I aim the remote at one light to turn it on from inside the house and the other two turns on as well.

I have three lamps like this. I have had no issues so far. Try to return if still under warranty.

Dear Ronald, Thank you for your interest in Robertson Worldwide. The RSW240T12120 is no recommended for use with F96T8 lamps. We do have an Instant Start unit available to run 1 or 2 F96T8 lamps called the ISA259T8MV that would be a better fit for your applications. Please visit the Amazon product page to view spec sheets or our www.robertsondirect.com website for additional technical details. Please let me know if you have any additional questions. I will be happy to assist you.Sincerely, Brian K. Robertson Worldwide

This is true, they connect end to end. however the signal and strength of the lighting itself deteriorates after 3 - 4 strips. I suggest separate the strips with a repeater which is supposed to boost the signal. I am not an expert by any means. just trial and error here.

I have these in 2 lamp fixtures where one is a regular lamp using a motion sensor and I do notice that the LED lamp lights a fraction of a second behind the regular bulb but no flashing for mine, although I have only used one of the bulbs in the case I ordered. hope that is of some help.....

From my own experience, it depends on the bulb. Some brands can rise gracefully from 0% to 100% with no issues, but some brands (such as Feit) have issues when there are multiple on the same switch and some will light before others until about 20% power is reached. I've had a positive experience with the Philips LEDs, which start out at about 15-20% brightness, and Greenlite, which rise synchronously and beautifully from 0%.

Probably as many as you have, as long as they are all within 7 ft. or so of each other. That's the limitation - the range of the control transmitter is about from the foot of my bed to the bedside lamps on either side at the top of the bed. If I stand in the middle, and aim the control in-between the bedside lamps which are on opposite sides of a king-size bed, I can control both lamps at the same time from about 7 ft. away. However these bulbs remember their last setting, so if you use them say throughout a living room, once you set them they'll stay that way when you turn them on again.

There's a python API for the lights here: https://github.com/therivenman/pygop , and a Java control here: http://home.stockmopar.com/connected-by-tcp-unofficial-api/ . Neither is official, but I used the Python API to connect the lights to my Nest fire alarm through IFTTT and it works fine. With scripting, you can likely connect the lights to about anything. I believe you still need the gateway to relay the commands to the actual bulbs though.

These lights only have one setting, on or off. They do not sync to each other. This kit is inexpensive. The light provided on your subject will not be bright due to the design of the bulbs, so I had to sublement with additional lights. You get what you pay for with this kit, but it works and is pretty simple.

Yes, as it works with a led lamp, it is "instant on". If there really is some delay, it's unnoticeable.

Illumination is full-time as long as power is supplied. I haven't yet figured out how to prevent it from alternating between deg F and C.

Sure, easy to do. What I did was to run the power cable to each light, just be sure tohook them up in parallel and not series.

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.
