Hi everyone,

A quick question from a complete LED newbie. I've been thinking of doing some color changing LED lighting in my condo and have just started looking into lighting options out there and learning about the space.

So here's my question: can you use controllers together with lights from different companies? For instance, can you only use color kinetics lights with their controllers?

Thanks in advance!

Hi newbie,

I too have a number of color-changing fixures in my condo. Check out http://photos.kingjoey.net for some pictures.

As for the controllers, they will all work together if they all support the DMX protocol, however you'll have to program them accordingly, which can be a pain. My advice is to stick with one manufacturer (I'm partial to Colorkinetics but there are many more.)

Enjoy,
J
