Is there a limit to the number of compatible fixtures the ADJ RGB3C will control when they're DMX daisy-chained together?

You're limited by the length of the cable run(s), the quality of the cable, and whether there is termination. 10 fixtures with 15' cables between work just fine.

The Obey is a DMX controller, so any DMX enabled device can be controlled by it. Additionally it has manual a fog port which equates to a 1/4" TRS jack for binary devices. Although it is only made for one device presumably, you may be able to string multiple together on this channel. Because the Mega Par Profile unit has DMX, the UV LED channel will be included in the 8 that are allocated to that device. Basic cans only use 3 of the 8 channels. One for Red, one for Blue, and one for Green. Yours will likely use one more for UV, although I am not familiar with this unit. After looking it up though I may be buying a pair :) Bear in mind that the Obey 40 is expecting to hand out groups of 8 channels, one for each slider on the faceplate, with the option of supporting dual bank (16 channels) on a single device and a "Bank" button to flip back and forth between channel sets. From the product specifications of that par can: - DMX-512 protocol - 5 DMX Channel modes: 4/5/6/9/10 channels - 5 Operational modes: RGB+UV Dimmer Mode, Sound Active Mode, Auto Run Mode, Static Color Mode, & DMX Controlled If you run this unit in 9 or 10 channel mode you would need to break out 16 channels (2 sets of 8 sliders,) and have 6 or 7 left unused. The other modes will all fit into a single bank of 8 channels. In short, yes. DMX controllers don't really care what is hooked up to their channels in the fixture. They are merely providing a control signal for the fixture to interpret however it sees fit to. What level of control is available and what goes on which channel is up to the fixture manufacturer, and is pretty much always included in the documentation that came with the unit. If it has DMX, it should be compatible.

No linkable power... so you can't just plug one into an electrical outlet, and then just chain the next one's power plug into the first one, etc. Of course, you can chain the DMX signal cables from one fixture to another and to another, etc. But you will need a power outlet for each fixture.

I only have experience using this remote with ADJ Profile Panel RGBs which will cycle through presets, blackout, and change strobe intensity. I can only assume it will work in a similar way if not exactly the same.

I had a similar problem but I thought it was the LED unit that I was using it with. I don't have any other equipment to test it on. I used the command line interface to issue DMX commands and found that if I sent the same one a few times it would eventually take. It was not consistent and I suspect a timing issue that could be corrected in the internal microcontroller. They are programmable so I was going to tweak the settings and try again. The LED unit I purchased is not powerful enough for my application so I never got around to it. It was an older/compatible model related to uDMX units.

Not necesarily. You can use it as automatic or configure them to just one color or pretty much anything you want. DMX is not needed

I don't see why not. These units basically simulate a wired DMX cable but instead of having to daisychain the cable you can setup one master and multiple slave units.

I connected 2 18 inch and 3 12 inch. All work fine. Also, The product description (on amazon) states Linkable design allows for up to 12 fixtures to be powered by the same circuit.

Yes. I run one wireless unit on a tree of 4 lights. Then daisy chain the 4 lights via DMX cables.

I'm certain three is but I'm unaware of the limitation. Wouldn't a digital timer switch be a better option?

It needs four channels to work. Red Channel, Green Channel, Blue Channel, and Brightness which also controls whether is steady light or strobe mode depending on the value if this channel. if this channel is not present the lights don't perform correctly. In my DMX controller, Channel 1 controls the intensity. I assume this would the same for all controllers.

This is a controller board. It does not supply power to the light fixtures themselves, it simply plugs into the DMX interface for the lights (or the DMX dimmer switch if the lights do not have onboard DMX). The lighting fixtures can be whatever wattage their power connection (dimmer switch, power strip, wall outlet) and the light fixture itself supports. The board is powered by a wall wart from a standard 110 outlet. I use this in conjunction with ADJ dimmer switches connected to PAR36 cans containing 700 watt bulbs, but I could just as easily use 1000 or 1500 watt bulbs or higher if I chose, and if my PARs supported them (which they do).

Yes the Obey 3 will control any 3-channel fixture or fixtures can be set to 3-channel.for Example, the CHAUVET slimpar 56 is a 3-channel or 7-channel fixture.the obey will be able to control the slimpar 56 in 3-channel mode but not when it's set to 7-channel mode. Should you use the obey 3 with a fixture higher than 3 channels it will not work properly.

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.

I'm fairly certain mine can do that. They dedinateky dont need dmx to work, you just flip the dipswitches.

I have 3 daisy chained. I think it said 5. If I can find the instructions I will let you know.

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.
