If I buy more than one, will one remote be able to control the lights or will I need to have a separate remote for each light?

dear friend,we will send you the light and remote one by one if you buy more than one.And you can control the lights with one remote if they are not far away.thanks

One remote works for the two lights that I have, but I couldn't find any instructions that say this is how it works in every case.

one remote can control multiple lights... you have to be pretty close to the bulb to control it... you need to be less than about 6 feet.

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 have 2 of these lights. Unfortunately you cannot connect 2 lights to one timer, but the timers use the same ir signal from the remote. Once you have the settings the way that you want, place the timers next to each other and both will receive the commands from one remote

Ours is installed with separate wall switches. One controls light, one controls fan. I can turn each on independently of the other. Perfect. Worked out great. Don't really use remote or mess with the controls on fan itself.

Each set will need a master and a companion (if using a multi-location, 3way). You can use the same remote for each set but they will both pick up the signal if you're putting the switches near each other. So, if that isn't y our intention, you might want to rethink. I have my LR and Kitchen on different walls to avoid this, but use one remote to control each separately.

I use one remote to control two separate strings under my kitchen cabinets. you can turn on one or both, proximity of the receivers will determine if all go on at the same time or you will have to aim at each controller so only one lights at a time.

It's to avoid interference with multiple remotes and lights by switching to different channels. Makes each light work with each remote. I have not tested it, but I believe you can control more than one light at the same time (why, who knows?) if you set the dip switches on the lights and remote the same. Otherwise, it's just to avoid interference on one unit.

Yes, one stock remote would control both switches. I bought a harmony remote though to link and control all of my electronics too. My TV, Cable Box, BluRay player, Xbox, and Lutron IR light switch are all controlled by the same remote!

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.

As others have stated, it's for the remote control. We have two of these and I can control both of them with one remote when setting them on the same setting. I also e-mailed Mr. Beams customer service before purchasing and they also stated you can control multiple lights with one remote.

Yes, a single remote will control every bulb. You get a remote with each bulb but, you only need one. FYI, if the bulbs are close enough to each other the remote will control the bulbs at the same time. I have lamps on both sides of my TV and I can turn the bulbs on and off at the same time.

The remote is generic so one remote will work with any number of bulbs, but the signal is weak so you have to point at each one individually and command them separately.

for the remotes to work you must have the light facing you. remote works up to about 30ft. if you have more than one light close to each other the remote may change both at the same time. jlboutdoors

If you use the remote on the master light and the others are set to slave piggy backed one into the other it should work no problem. I have two that I link...one master the other set to slave....I don't see why it wouldn't work with more then 2 lights.

You would need to purchase separate control/switch. I purchase an additional power supply and dimmer switch. to have 2 sets of separately controlled light bars.

Unknown if you can get extra remotes. The one remote that comes with it has three buttons, one for each remote. So you can choose which remote you want to control.
