are you able to wire your own string of LEDs to use with this or does it have to be the RGB strip lights?

I haven't installed or used the Music sensor yet, but in order for it to work, they have to have the same type pin connector (or you cant plug it in) and of course I think, you have to have the same voltage, electric requirements or specs....

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.

No, that required individually addressable LEDs, and those can get quite expensive. If you're looking for that, I suggest looking on Adafruit for an Arduino and addressable LED light strips. You'll have to do a bit of programming and soldering, but the results can be pretty amazing!The controller for this set does have a flash and a fade mode (where they all flash/fade the same color).

HI... it doesn't look like you can replace the LEDs. The lighting strip is part of the overall circuit assembly.

There are 300 RGB LED's. Each LED can change color. This set is waterproof because there is a plastic coating over the LEDs. Someone wrote that you can cut the strips, but I don't recommend it because of the plastic coating on the LEDS. Maybe they had the non-waterproof kind.

Yes you just have to make sure the Adapter is powerful enough like this one will work great http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KKU7U6WAnd then you can also use connectors like this Triangle Bulbs (Pack Of 3) LED strip light connector one end 4pin male connector, other end new type 10mm RGB connector,

Hi ! Before you buy it check the " actual transformer for LED ". Check the voltage and the POWER required . Normally LED strings/strips are working at 12VDC . as I do not know your "LED arrangement" I cannot say if this transformer can be used for your application !

Dear friend, on each end of the RGB led strip, there is a 4 pin male and famale connector, you can connect two rolls into one strip. But please kindly note that it will need a 4A ~ 6A power supply for two rolls.

It really depends on what you want to plug the strips into but two choices that I bought to use to get the four wires out to use the three colors of leds are "HitLights LED PCB RGB LED Strip Any Angel Turn Connector, 4 Conductor, For SMD5050 or SMD 3528 RGB Color Changing LED Strip, Strip to Strip, 4 pcs " and "HitLights LED PCB Connector Box For 5050 SMD RGB Color Changing LED strip, Strip to Strip, 10 pcs " or you can just solder wires direct to the pads on the cut lines of the strips. And yes the driver itself would need to be cabable of dimming the leds or if you are simply are going to feed them with 12Volts then you can but a simple dimmer switch in-line with the common feed and dim the leds that way with no driver at all. I personally bought a controller from Custom Dynamics to make my LED strips strobe, dim, and change colors.

Why would you need to? Its a repeater. Your first power source should be enough for the first LED strip, after each strip you install a repeater.

You need a controller box to drive the LEDs, but that power supply you linked should be able to power a controller box. I'm not exactly sure how long it would be able to power the lights, but it would work with a controller box

What you want are called "addressable" RGB LED's. With that your controller (Arduino, Raspberry Pi, etc) could call on each LED and change individual LED colors.EDIT: Just realized how old this question is, geez, but hopefully someone else will find it relevant.

Sounds like you need an RGB controller. Take a look around amazon to see what works for you. Something like this eTopxizu 44Key IR Remote Controller for 5050 3528 RGB LED Light Strip

Yes. The LED strips are attached to the fixture at the time of manufacture.

They use a proprietary connector, not sure why you would want a different strip though. Even if you managed to get one hooked up it wouldn't work with the controller.EDIT:I read your comments, I think that yes you can because the strip has a spot for another connection at it's end. However I would be wary to try it seeing as how my first HUE melted. Interesting idea though, might try this on my next build..

It works just like a normal single led would work, so if its wired correctly you should be able to get the desired effect. Basically the strand its just an pre soldered led and resistor.

There are three main categories, single color, RGB and WRGB light strips. The RGB have red, green, blue LEDs and combine all the colors to make white(ish) light and use 4 wire conductors, connectors and components. The WRGB have red, green, blue LEDs plus white LEDs for pure white light and use 5 wire conductors, connectors and components. The 4 wire components are usually 12 vdc and the 5 wire components are either 12 or 24 vdc. You also have to decide if you want weather proof or not. FYI, the power supplies that come with the kits are NOT weatherproof even if the light strips are.
