can i plug just the strip into a fan controller and use the fan controller to control the brightness and power?

Just tried it out for you. The led strip is a two pin connection, and will fit on either a motherboard connection or a separate fan controller. However, the LEDs did not light up. I'd stick with the small board it comes with for power and control. If you have no space to have it in a PCI slot on the case, consider attaching it elsewhere.

I use a Lutron remote and fan control module - works great. Did not use the built in system because I also wanted wall controls in addition to the remote. With this I can control fan (multi-speed) and light (including dimming) separately - from the remote and from the wall.

it will work as a off and on power control, but not as a variable step controler such as needed for a multi speed device with an amendum such as a varible intensity light. if it is a single speed fan, with a single intensity llight that is controlled by a " pull chain " switch wired into the fans power connection, you are probably " O.K."

Assuming that your fan and lights do not draw an immense amount of power, you should be able to wire both to the delayed output lines.

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.

No. I don't know of any LED fans on the market that allow for the separate control of the lights. The light isn't overpowering and shouldn't affect the image created by the projector unless it's sitting in close proximity to the projected image.

you cannot you need to wire both strips to the same controller and have one remote you can do it from the low voltage side

While looking at Lutron.com, I did see controls for two fans. That is what they are specifically for.

Yes. The brand doesn't matter. Wiring it up correctly and it will work with the fan control.

It's for the fan. I simply unplugged the fan and routed it to a separate fan controller that was powered by my main psu

Don't believe you can. The inner wiring is for two independent fixtures or a fan/light combo. The fan side has set stops in the slider for variable speeds. The other side is traditional slider to dim the light. The respective switch for each turns it off and on.

Yes you will need to use a splitter or fan controller. A fan controller is convenient because you can tweak the speed of each fan. On the other hand if you want to keep things simple you can get a splitter. You would need a 4 pin PWM splitter if you have a 4 pin PWM fan. What I did in my other case was send the PWM signal to identical fans. This way each fan that is of the same type would be controlled by one PWM signal. You might want to look into that if you have PWM fans.

Nope. It is for dimming lights ONLY. there is an On / Off version you could control a fan with but not the speed of the fan.

No you don't The wiring for your light will work just fine. The only thing is both fan and light come on at the same time but that is what we wanted.

As others have said yes you can, I can confirm I have full control of fan speed and light with an INSTEON Hub as my controller.

Yes, I have the fan and light connected to a switch in my kitchen and you can still control the light from the switch on the fan. It works really good.

No. This is a slave controller that needs a master in the circuit. You can have any number of slaves, each able to tell the master on/off and dimmer/brighter. We have these in many circuits now, some with three slaves plus the master. They work flawlessly when installed correctly.
