There is only 1 DMX in. How does it control multiple fixtures?

Dont really know. Tried calling mfg. they cant answer. Think i pirvhased a piece of junk!!

DMX512 transmits encoded signals over one set of wires to devices that are to be controlled. These devices (which have an in and out connector) are then daisy chained one to the next. Each light or device only responds to the code that it is set for (most commonly by using mini dip switches). My LED Par cans also are set for multiple channels to control RGB. Research some on DMX lighting control at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DMX512 before purchasing your equipment.

A fixture can have multiple lights, and in many cases, has a DMX out to "Daisy-Chain" to another fixture.

No DMX if you set the sensitivity right they will stay sync'ed for time but not color.

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.

Sorry to take so long I have been traveling, yes you could use the remote for more that one bulb, the only thing is that they would probably get out of sync ie: one or more bulbs would not get every command and you would not be able to make them all blue for example simultaneously, if you were to use one remote for several locations in your home, yes it would control them all These are very nice and considering the price and features they are exceptional, just don't expect them to behave like a DMX DJ system. Buy some you won't be disappointed considering the value and results, remember these are mood lights NOT reading lamps or suitable for DJ use.

Get a DMX terminator and put on the DMX output of the last one in the chain.

I use 2 of these with an obey 40 and it works perfectly. Make sure your assigning proper channel assignment. Turn on dip switch 1 for dmx then use the DMX Dips switches (labeled on the unit itself) to assign the address, ie. for fixture 2 on your obey, set the 008 switch "On" for fixture 3 set 016 "On".

Assuming you mean power? Sure they are very low amps you could put several on 1 outlet. I was running 10 on one 20amp circuit + fog machines / dj strobes. Never an issue. If you mean to control - they are best controlled w/ a DMX controller or using a computer DMX box - but there is a dip switch mode that allows them to all do the same thing. For instance react to music. Or be the same color.

Try using different DMX channel modes on the lights. Some lights default to 7 channel mode, but the lighting controller wants them to be in 4 channel mode, for example.

No, the extra wire that you see actually has the IR receiver on the end of it. You need line of sight between the remote and the end of that wire. The infrared controller is the only way to control the fixture. You cannot use a DMX controller. The IR remote however can control more than one light as long as you have line of sight for all your fixtures. All the lights will however display the same color/effect. If you want to have different colors or effects on different lights, you would need to shield the lights so that the IR signal was only reaching one light at a time. I have 8 of these. One remote controls 4 lights, and the other 4 need a different controler. Apparently they came from different batches and some use a different IR frequency than others, so I would recommend buying all you need at the same time. Also, if using a color changing effect, not all lights will change colors at exactly the same time. Some are a little faster than others so they get out of sync. The timing device used to control the color change macros is not very precisie.

If you have the dip switches in the lower left corner of the unit, the first dip switches set the DMX address of the first channel. So to t and all others up.est with Channel 1, push the first switch down. The last switch determines if the unit uses DMX or the internal programs. That switch should be up, as well as all the others except #1 to test if it works on channel 1. The dip switches set the channel in binary numbers. If you want the first channel to be #4, then switch 3 should be down

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.

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.

It's been a little bit since I used mine but I believe you're correct. It has several presets that you can let set and forget or you can option to use DMX in which case you'll need to program any effects.

Yes it will work as a standalone unit and it does not require a DMX controller because there are controls on the unit itself, however a DMX controller provides you a simpler interface. But in the end it really depends on what your requirements are.

The master & slave dimmer will only control one series of lights. If the two light sets were wired together and one light switch controlled both at the same time, then the dimmers & remote you bought will control them all at once. However, the two light sets won't be controlled separately with the remote you got. Either all at once, or you'll need seperate dimmers with remote for your second set of lights. I hope that helps you. Good luck!

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 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.
