I have 4 16' led strips in my room. Will one remote work for all of them? (They are not connected together. They each have their own AC adapter.)

No. The remote is connected to the ac adapter. I have 4 strips connected to I adapter with 1 remote and it works fine. If I have the lights at full brightness the transformer gets pretty warm but I never keep them on high for very long.

No. Each strip needs it's own remote, or all strip must very on same AC supply. Remotes operate on individual frequencies and each one received is random, can't specify the frequency, so getting two on the same frequency is rare at best.

Good question. I don't have an answer since I only have one strip plugged in. My assumption is that the LED's will operate as one. There aren't any switches or buttons to seperate their function. Personally, I'd have a controller for every strip (even though it accepts 3 strips). The effects are incredible. I'm looking into a controller with many functions as my next purchase. Hope this helps your decision.

All the answers below mirror my experience. Works with mono LED strip without a problem. Bought another to control under cabinet lighting in my other house.

I have one power source and split my lights after my dimmer in my kitchen. If the two strips are not too long it should be no problem. Before you mount the strips try it and see if the dimmer stays cool. The power source also has to be sized correctly.

I have two lights at opposite end of room about 12 meters apart. Both have a remote and the remote will operate either light. Because the range of the remote is not far you have to control each light separately, but can use the same remote.

Ooooh. Your situation is different than mine. I think you can have quite a few of these panels working with one main control panel. I'm not to sure about multiple main control panels. Can't you use one less main control panel now that you have these remote one?

Likely...I purchased this one from Liroyal-LED on Amazon, works great. I am totally opposed to buying anything directly from LED Wholesalers. Their customer support is worse than a cableTV company or the DMV.

Don't know. I only use one remote on one master with 3 slaves. I don't have the need to install 2 masters in one room. Sorry, I can't help. But in thinking about it, since it's IR and not bluetooth, you have to point the remote at the master, so even if the IR code is the same, a second master need not necessarily activate if you're pointing the remote to only the first master, as long as they are not installed side-by-side.

Its ir, I believe the remote should work for multiple bulbs simultaneously. Be aware that the bulbs dont have memory so they're reset every time you turn them off. When turned on they default to color changing mode

Yes, you can! We have 4 and they worked great all together. You use 4 the same way you use 2....you have to aim each remote at each other and hit 'reset'...making sure all 4 light up and make reset noise.

Hello Dave,I am driving 4 of the 16.4' strips (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007SXGS94/ref=oh_details_o03_s01_i00?ie=UTF8&ps;c=1) with this transformer without any issues (no heat, runs cool). I have both of the leads coupled together, going to my wireless dimmer and it works perfect...really nice feature and cheap price (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004X4O1NG/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&ps;c=1).I hope this helps.--Dustin

The IR type remotes I have had have worked on different controllers so i'd say you'd be safe doing that. You just will have to point it at each one to work since they are IR. Same as your TV remote.

First, make sure you remove the plastic insolator where the battery lives on the remote. Second, check each strip individually connected to the ir box and power supply, make the arrows line up on the connectors for proper continuity. Use the remotes on/off button to activate the strip, then try each color by pressing the corresponding button on the remote. If things don't light, disconnect the connectors, turn one side and reconnect ..... do they light now? Last, you can not piggy back more than one 16 foot strand of LED's to one power standard power supply, there are other accessories to purchase to boost the power.

If it's within 20 ft. , one remote will control both lights. LIght source isn't very bright. I had to place 4 in my closet (8' x 3') to see clearly. Switch battery (23AE, 12V) also burns out quickly.

I tried using 4 remotes. 3 old TV remotes and one surround sound remote. It worked with them all.

To the best of my knowledge you have a different problem: Instructions say to not extend one 'string' of LEDs to greater than the standard reel length because the conductors on the flexible strip can not handle greater currents. So if you are going longer than one reel, you need to power that separately.

I cannot give you a solid answer on that, but Im pretty sure if you bout two strips, one remote would work on both.
