Can you control multiple bulbs with the same remote?

Good question!!!! I never tried it but I'm pretty sure you can.... I'm sure they made a remote for all bulbs and not make a million different remotes for each bulb... The only thing is if the remote can turn on both bulbs at the same time

I only have one bulb, but can report that I read in an online comment that it was possible.

yes. as long as they were not too far apart from each other. we had the ones we tried about 5 feet apart in can lights and one remote worked for both.

as long as they are the same model and brand yes you can, or should be able to, but beware this light did not cycle through all colors on slow fade and the range for the remote is only at best 5 feet

Probably as many as you have, as long as they are all within 7 ft. or so of each other. That's the limitation - the range of the control transmitter is about from the foot of my bed to the bedside lamps on either side at the top of the bed. If I stand in the middle, and aim the control in-between the bedside lamps which are on opposite sides of a king-size bed, I can control both lamps at the same time from about 7 ft. away. However these bulbs remember their last setting, so if you use them say throughout a living room, once you set them they'll stay that way when you turn them on again.

My guess is yes, the picture looks like the same remote I have for another style bulb. If buying the same style bulb I would be even more confident one remote will work on both bulbs. The remote is infrared light so should work on both.

Yes multiple remotes can be used fir the same outlet. No to automatically turn off.

To my knowlege, the same remote will work for any unit--regardless if it came with that bulb or not. But I do not believe one remote can control more than one bulb at a time. so if you place two units side by side, the remote will only read one at a time. You can use the same remote for either bulb, but it will have to be pointed at each unit to adjust. So one can be blinking red while the other can be fading blue.

You can use one remote but you have to turn each one on individually. Also be aware that even though it says they have memory to retain your settings, that is only if you turn it off with the remote. If they loose power for any reason your settings are lost! Poor design for a commercial outdoor fixture.

The system consists of a socket adapter plus a remote switch to signal the adapter. If you have bulbs in 2 different sockets you need to buy 2 adapters, each of which will have its own remote.

You can use the same remote for both, its basically an IR emitter and the bulb looks for a certain ir blink pattern, the control patterns are the same for both bulbs

I think it means if you have multiple bulbs near each other they will operate the same. The come with a spectrum cycle mode. So basically if the bulbs are in unobstructed range of the remote, they will respond to the same button press on one remote. I have a 3 bulb staggered tower that i have to hold the remote close to the bulb so the other lights dont change color too.

Yes the HDE remotes seem to be interchangeable. I have the 9w & 3w bulb models and the remotes control either unit. They are IR remote controls so each bulb acts independently of the others. The settings are pretty simple though. I'm writing a review now.

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.

Yes, one remote will operate multiple identical bulbs. I have one in the tower pier on each side of the 60" flat-screen and the remote turns them on and simultaneously changes the operation when a button is pressed.

You should be ok, there are dip switches that let you set each one to different frequency, i have 2 and they don't interfere. Actually because of the remote's 2 sets of controls, i can control both switches from one remote. But you don't have to set it up that way.

You would have to wire in two switches to each pair of lights to do so. The control box has just one button that you have to hold down to make work. I swapped the button to wire in a switch to have an on all the time or off

yes, I have 4 controlers and was able to simply copy the primary controller to the secondary controller. NOTE: it works best when they send and receive at the exact same time so under the instructions hit the last number in the "code" on both remotes at the same time.

I have two bulbs maybe four feet apart. If I hit the remote from far enough away (so they are both line of sight to the remote), they both go on/off at the same time. Unless you are standing/aiming the remote so that a bulb or bulbs are not in line of sight, you SHOULD be able to power them all on or off with one button press.

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.
