The picture shows another control wire. Can this be controlled from another light / external RGB controller?

No, the extra wire that you see actually has the IR receiver on the end of it. You need line of sight between the remote and the end of that wire. The infrared controller is the only way to control the fixture. You cannot use a DMX controller. The IR remote however can control more than one light as long as you have line of sight for all your fixtures. All the lights will however display the same color/effect. If you want to have different colors or effects on different lights, you would need to shield the lights so that the IR signal was only reaching one light at a time. I have 8 of these. One remote controls 4 lights, and the other 4 need a different controler. Apparently they came from different batches and some use a different IR frequency than others, so I would recommend buying all you need at the same time. Also, if using a color changing effect, not all lights will change colors at exactly the same time. Some are a little faster than others so they get out of sync. The timing device used to control the color change macros is not very precisie.

There is a power wire and a reciever wire on the light. I think if u had two lights u can control off one remote.

Yes you can. It will control both the RGB and the WW leds (they alternate between a RGB led and WW led on the strip). It will not control both RGB and WW at the same time. You can have one or the other on, either color or just white lights, not both RGB and WW at the same time. To get around this issue, (and have maximum light output with the RGB AND the WW leds on at the same time, you will need to add one more controller (amazon #B00HEOW0T4) to control each seprately. My RGB leds are controlled with zone 1 one the remote by one controller only hooked up to the RGB outputs on the controller. My WW leds are controlled by zone 2 on the remote and controlled by a separate controller only hooked up to the WW outputs of the second controller. The V+ is jumpered between the 2 controllers. This will give you full control of all the LEDs on the strip. I drive 4 zones of 32' each. Zone 1 is inside 32' of RV RGB leds, Zone 2 is inside 32' of WW leds on same strip, Zone 3 is outside 32' RGB leds, Zone 4 is outside 32' of WW leds. One remote, 4 controllers. I can have both RGB and WW leds on at the same time, giving me pastel colors and maximun light and control. Hope this helps

If you want to control RGB strip, you need the item (ASIN: B00HP0H4MA). Thanks.

You're probably best buying a new controller w/ remote so you know they work together. This one look like it's the same one though, so it might work: http://www.amazon.com/LEDwholesalers-Remote-Controller-LED-Strip/dp/B004IJFAMW/ref=pd_sim_hi_9#productDetails

As far as I know there are two ways to control these light strips- using a 2.5mm center-positive 12v connection, or utilizing the 6803 controller (a much better option in my opinion.) Search for 6803 controller on here or eBay and you'll see them. These strips utilize 4 wires (V+, Gnd, Data, Clock) but also have a barrell jack connector in case you don't get the controller or prefer not to use these to their full capabilities.

My understanding is that you can. They have to all plug into the power source and can not be daisy chained in a line one after the other. I want to use about five of them together and am going to try it soon. LEDwholesalers has not been very helpful answering how to get the color changing module in place so all of them will be the same color in unison. I think more than two would blow the color module but I'm not clear on that. I know you can put two together with a splitter though.

The string of lights is a dumb string of lights. The string will only display one color at a time. The controller will work but with limited function. Not what you want.

You're supposed to be able to change the color by toggling the on/off switch --- think it was in the manual that came with the light. However, we bought the controller.

RGB strips connect to RGB controllers. Depend on the specific controller, please consider B0077IRWH2 or B008M0KYWY.

I can change the lights to other colors for Christmas if I want. I also placed a set of waterproof 5050 RGB lights on my motorcycle with this controller.

You would have to define (your own string of LEDS). I know the strips have Resistors on them that are somewhat matched to the controller. I think the controller uses current limiting output transistors or pulse width modulation for the color control variation. You could try your own. I think the output voltage is 12v the same as the input. Does your own string have resistors, if it does was it part of a 12 or 120 volt set ? If your thinking of controlling some LED christmas lights then this is the wrong controller for you.

Yes, you can just join the light and the fan wires together in the junction box on the unit to control both from one switch.

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.

as long as you can DMX them together, you should be fine. just remember that this controller is only a 3 Channel, whereas the RGB is a 7 channel, so you will lose some functionality, but you can mess around with some of the programming options and get a lot of it back. all in all it's a great little controller to use for up lighting purposes. if you want to put on a fancy show you will need something more programmable.

Yes you can; contact hitlights.com for details on how to program the two controllers.

Here Mike is the item that you need to connect the two strips together. It is this >>> (LEDwholesalersTM LED RGB Strip Light Connector 4 Conductor 10 mm Wide Strip to Strip Jumper 2353 which is $2.69)Copy this link below and it will take you to the Amazon's item!>>> LEDwholesalersTM LED RGB Strip Light Connector 4 Conductor 10 mm Wide Strip to Strip Jumper 2353 <<< Good luck on this and be sure to keep the color wires the same on both strips!

There are 6 ports in the main control box. There are 6 cords each with a light bar on it. So I don't believe there is any way to get more lights. Maybe if you could find a cord with multiple light bars or perhaps an adapter that fits into the control box and has multiple plug ins. However, I think you will have trouble finding this
