If I want to have 4 speed lights set on all 4 zones will I need 5 of these? If not what combination will I need?

Yes you will but you might be able to get by with less if your speedlights have optical triggers and can see each other. This way if one goes off the rest will see the flash of light and go off as well. This has its disadvantages but if you can not afford 5 at once this will work especially if you are in a studio environment. Outdoors or long distances might pose issues. I would save up until you get 5 of them especially if you will be using these on paid gigs.

You sure can, I don't know if you will need 4 lights,these lights are bright.good luck fishing

I believe you would need a switch that works on a four way system. This one works on three way which means two switches. Might be tough to find except at a place that sells to contractors.

The remote is 4-zone, and can independently operate 4 sets of strip lights. But you need 4 controllers. When you want to control 4 sets of strips, you need one remote (ASIN: B00HEP269C) and some RGBW controllers (or RGB controllers) If the strips are RGBW, you need RGBW controller (ASIN: B00HEOW0T4). If the strips are RGB, you need RGB controller (ASIN: B00HP0AYYU).

The answer is probably yes. You would use one master and 5 slave (auxiliary) switches to do this. You would need 3-conductor plus ground cable between all the switches so you can keep the ground, neutral, and traveler in parallel with the master and one more black wire (load or hot) if needed, to get the load or hot from one switch box to another so the master switch has both the load and hot black wires attached to it. A 3-way or 4-way has the black load wire at one end and the black hot wire at the other; the 4-way switch (or multiples in a 6-way setup) wouldn't have the load or hot wire in that box - it would usually have a black, red, and ground going each direction to another 3-way and/or 4-way switch. I think the instructions show a 4-way setup.

You have to figure out some wiring. There are options on what is on, what sync's with flashers ect. Not to difficult and I love mine.

Not 100% sure, but I don't think these can be linked together using a special link: Each individual light has its own link, there is no master switch that can turn several on-off, unless you custom make some hard-wiring and install a master switch. This may be messy depending if you can hide the wiring. Simply connect them to each other by splicing, and install a switch at the beginning of the electric supply.

I do not really know, but if you want bright, this is the way to go. I thought i was going to have to put something in the floor board however if you put 4 in you fj cruiser you will not need to use anything else.

Yes, you can add up to 2 more. If you upgrade to the LED bulbs, you can string up to 30 lights on the same 48 Watt transformer transformer. The Led bulbs only draw 1 Watt apiece and there is the resistance of the wire to consider. I added about 30 extra feet of wire and have strung together 24 lights on the same 48 Watt transformer and it works fine. Pretty Cool Set Up. Look for Zone Tech LED replacements for Malibu Landscape light 5 LED SMD SMT 194 T10 Wedge Base Warm White 12V DC/AC 1407WW (Pack of 8 sells for about ($9). I bought 3 packs of 8 on Amazon the same time I bought the Malibu Light set. A very good deal for the price. Good Luck with your project. Yes, you can add up to 2 more.

My lights do that, too, and I read the instructions. If you push the mode switch, it will continuously run thru the 8 modes. You can't just pick one out of the 8. I like the way they keep changing, but I suppose if you just use the on button, you could get a steady light.

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.

NO you need all four to complete the circuit,, though you can get by with three good batteries and one that is depleted (Unless it is dead shorted really dead or showing corrosion. Your light may not be quite as bright with the 3-good and 1-bad configuration, but it would give you light). davzway

I would also recommend the relay kit, as it will help with power consumption. Its a cheap was to give you piece of mind that your lights will work correctly.

Hi Leslie - yeah, these things are kindofa brat to install. It took my electrician several tries before he got it, and the instructions aren't clear. If I remember correctly, your wiring to/from the light needs to have a three wire configuration, where one wire is called the "traveler" wire... it essentially informs the other switch of the state of itself so they are always in sync.If you have an older home, you may be SOL - the wiring may not support this switch type.Rob

Yes you can set all 4 before starting them. Then start them 1 at a time. You can't start all of them at once.

I used Alien Bees bracket but if you use a different type of bracket then you can use this with speed lights. I have a number of soft boxes that I use that way.

1, 2 or have all 4 hooked up at the same time. It's stated in the description.
