can I connect this unit to a string of lights or is it one photo controller per light. How would I wire this for a string of lights if possible

You can connect all the positive leads in parallel (together) and then tie those to the positive output of the light controller. Then tie all the negative leads together and then connect those to the common ground of the light sensor. Be sure to look at the total amperage of all the lights to be sure you don't exceed the current rating of your power supply or the light sensor.

This is a 10 amp capacity device or a total of 120 watts. The number of lights is dependent on how many watts each light draws. A 12 volt 20 watt lamp draws 1.7 amps, you could without overloading this device operate 5 twenty watt lights. The photo cell relay is operated in series connection with one side of the line to lights in parallel circuit.

You could also get a 12V relay (http://www.amazon.com/Relay-Harness-Bosch-Style-40AMP-HRNS/dp/B005HFYE1O/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid;=1424284156&sr;=8-1&keywords;=12V+relay) to increase the total amperage. You would use switch to flip the relay on and off.

Max two 16' 12v LED light strip lights per controller. The more you add the less effective the controller is.

Not directly into the unit but is you have an extension chord with more than one plug, you can have Two lights powered by one outlet. That is what I do and use 2 timers

You can operate with just two if the other lights are configured as optical slaves. Do this with my 2 light setups outside all the time.

From my experience with this light switch, there is only one IR code and consequently no way to separately control multiple light switches in the same room. The Belkin Wemo light switches might better suit your needs.

We did not have good ones...looked at pic plus so called directions and worked it out. I had to go to the store to get some good wire so I could tie all he black and white to create just one for each as there were so many to connect...normally this is already done for you by most company's , so this is poor to leave to the consumer esp if you know nothing about electrical . If you do that give yourself enough slack as it's hard to connect if you have to hold it up close. Good luck...light is nice though and looks good

Ill agree with the last post that they are not easy to setup but for sure they are two devices. Its actually two load switches and two scene controllers in one is whatnit really is. I use several of them with a VeraLite on Ui5. They have special instructions for vera setup to get the two scene contollers and load switches linked up and right. But in vera it shows two deivces or light switches. Im good with electrical and where i could I took out the old sing or double gang box and installed a old construction box in a 2 or 3 gang so I can just install two switches next to each other instead. I use 35.00 ge switches which are easier to use and I can buy almost 4 of them vs. 1 of these. Ill agree with the last post that they are not easy to setup but for sure they are two devices.

This CONTROLS a fixture in a space that doesn't have wiring for one. Not the way you are asking. So no.

you can use it for the light, but there is one input and 3 outputs. If you have 3 separate lights, no problem. If you have one light, then pull once for one and one of the other 3 pulls will be off. the other 2 pulls will do nothing.

One controller can source up to 12 amp, so if you connect all four lights to one controller it will work with one remote. One remote will only control one controller.

This particular unit is for post lights so it would not be the one for you. My son has a porchlight however that has the same functions as this unit. I don't know who the manufacturer is though. If your two lights are wired together though you only need one of them to have these special functions.

You need wire I used speaker wire and just ran one wire to the console and hooked them to the deck lights switch. But as far as four lights on one wire. I would use two wires put two lights per wire.

My understanding is that 4 panels can be linked together but no more without having a separate controller. Call the company, their customer support is amazing.

They use a proprietary connector, not sure why you would want a different strip though. Even if you managed to get one hooked up it wouldn't work with the controller.EDIT:I read your comments, I think that yes you can because the strip has a spot for another connection at it's end. However I would be wary to try it seeing as how my first HUE melted. Interesting idea though, might try this on my next build..

you can use an inline amp. with those you can make it as long as you want. but I'm using this controller to light up 2 16 feet stands of 5050

It does have the connectors for it so in theory this should work. I haven't tried it, but I imagine the difficulty you might face would be how long it would take to send enough data to update each of the LEDs. Your controller would need to be able to handle that many.

I'm not an electrian but we have multiple lights running in one line and we use one switch. I don't know if this is what you meaned. For safety purposes it's best that you get the advice of an electrician.

Hello my friend Yanninski, Yes, 1 remote can control 10pcs or more than 10pcs of these lights simultaneously on condition that the lights are within 3 meters to the remote. I noticed that you also want to know the power supply info. As for the power supply, if you install this light under water, then a waterproof transformer is need. If not soaked into water, then an ordinary 12v low voltage transformer or your standard 12V garden supply is OK. Any further question, you're more than welcome to contact Lemonbest freely at any time. We are always here for help. Nice day. Lemonbest
