Multiple bulbs, 1 remote? If you buy multiple bulbs, will 1 remote control them all?

I know these posts are old...but yeah, the remotes work with any of them. I mounted two of these behind a tv and a single click will control both. And some more info for anyone researching these, the remote does require line of site to the light emitting face of the bulb. I have mine facing upwards and the tv isn't mounted very high, so it's no issue, but if anyone plans on putting these facing up above a high cabinet or something, using the remote may be problematic....although if you are committed to it an IR extender may work....something I intend to try.

I have three lights within one foot and one remote can operate all three lights in the same time if the remote is within 4 ft distance. The remote seems to be very directional as sometimes only one of the lights is operated and sometimes none of the lights work. It seems that after powering off from the wall switch they are reset and the remotes can control the lights again. If the lights are set on different modes/colors, if the lights are turned off/on from the remote the settings are saved and each light will turn on with the same mode/color as it was before it was turned off. If the lights are turned off from the wall switch, the lights go back to the default, flash changing through all the colors.

each light will come with a remote that will work both lights. All you need is one to turn them both on. I have the same set up at my home. Enjoy.

It's supposed to be able to connect with up to 5 bulb devices simultaneously. I however only have the one bulb, sorry to say, so I haven't the personal experience to give you a for sure anwser.

Accutally I don't know, but I double about it. One remote has its specific frequency to control the three lights, so for my understanding, it only works one to one.

The master & slave dimmer will only control one series of lights. If the two light sets were wired together and one light switch controlled both at the same time, then the dimmers & remote you bought will control them all at once. However, the two light sets won't be controlled separately with the remote you got. Either all at once, or you'll need seperate dimmers with remote for your second set of lights. I hope that helps you. Good luck!

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.

Yes. You can schedule times to turn on and off. Can also choose how they come on. Slowly light up to full, what colors, etc. you can do this for each bulb individually.

I bought only one set - remote + bulb. But I read that you can use one remote for all bulb of this type.

Yes, more than one phone can control it. Only one phone can be tethered to it at a time though. If for example you left home your roommate will be able to control it with his phone once you're out of range and vice versa. Both of you will not how ever be able to connect and control the bulb simultaneously.

It's acually IR not RC. So if you get close to the bulb and point the remote yeah you can get each to do whatever you like. Other thing to keep in mind is that the sensor is on the front. Sometimes the front bezel on the housing cover can block the signal. That's what happened to me.

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.

No. You can buy a remote that will control several of these. Or you can buy a controller that will allow you to control the outlet or mutilple outlets or switches with your smart phone or to set up lights to come on and turn off at certain times. There are also light switches that will replace an existing switch that you could also use to control this outlet. If you are just wanting one remote device, depending on what your planning to plug in, there are several different types of controller out there. Lowes sells a lamp switch with a remote. For years I've used X10 switches and I'm in the process of switching to insteon. No. You can buy a remote that will control several of these.

I have ten bulbs, spot/pear-shaped - each came with its own IR remote. Nine remotes are stashed away - the tenth controls all the bulbs. Frankly I think they're a stunning addition to my place...

Yes, you can! We have 4 and they worked great all together. You use 4 the same way you use 2....you have to aim each remote at each other and hit 'reset'...making sure all 4 light up and make reset noise.

Yes one remote would control both (or more than 2) dimmers. Unfortunately for those wanting to have several different sets of lights (for example ceiling lights and plugged in table lights on two different dimmers) this can't be done. All the remotes and switches use the same IR code so you can't address each dimmer separately. A big shame.

I don't know how you would do that. All 5 of them are coded differently so they don't all come on or go off at the same time. Why wouldn't you want to use the remote that comes with it?

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.
