Q: Where would I put the receiver for remote control use?

RF receivers are UL Listed with a low IP Rating , making them only suitable for indoor dry locations. We recommend mounting the controller in a dry area with plenty of ventilation. You don't want the device to overheat. The mounting tabs are located on either side of the device and can be screwed into the wall, floor, or ceiling.

Question 3

What is the difference between an LED receiver and a driver?

Accepted Answer

A LED driver is used to power an LED light bulb. This is similar to how a ballast powers a fluorescent light fixture or a low-voltage incandescent bulb. Most standard household "screw-in" or "plug-in" bulbs come equipped with an internal driver while larger commercial light fixtures will require an external driver. LED RF receivers are used for wireless remote-controlled lighting. If you're interested in retrofitting your lighting system to a wireless system make sure to order a compatible function.

Question 4

Is a power strip the same thing as a surge protector?

Accepted Answer

Both power strips and surge protectors will allow you to plug in multiple appliances at a time. The only difference between the two is that surge protectors will protect you and your devices from power outages and fluctuations in the electrical current. You can normally tell the difference by the electrical rating. A surge protector or surge suppressor will have a rating in Joules and will have the max voltage that's allowed.

Question 5

How many lights can the Wireless Control Receiver link up with?

Accepted Answer

Most wireless RF receivers have 4 output terminals that are rated for 5A/60-180W each. Each terminal has a 4 x 5A current output and can be used with a wireless remote to control a tunable light bulb's color and color temperature. Always make sure to connect the light fixture to the receiver before turning on the power. For your safety, always consult with a professional electrician before doing any electrical work. These RF receivers can be synced to a maximum of 8 controllers at a time.
