Here are explanations of the 2 different types, what their differences are, and how they work.
RGB wireless controller
The RGB wireless controller is a single-zone wireless controller. There are 2 parts to the wireless controller; a receiver and a wireless handheld remote. A single zone means that you cannot link receivers together to have multiple ‘zones’, you simply have one. A ‘zone’ means by which the LED strip on that zone can individually controlled. If there is only 1 zone then all the LED strips attached to that zone will be the same colour when selecting colours etc. (synchronized) This does not mean however that you can only put one strip of LED tape onto the receiver. You can have as many strips of LED tape as you require as long as they all wire back to the 1 receiver. The total maximum metre-age of LED tape you can put on this controller is the following:
Total length in metres the receiver can control (3 x 5 amp):
RGB 7.2w 12v = 25 metres
RGB 7.2w 24v = 50 metres
RGB 14.4w 24v = 25 metres
RGB Multizone controller
The RGB multizone controller is a multizone wireless controller and receiver. The advantage of the multizone controller over the single zone controller is the fact that you can have up to 10 receivers all individually controlled off one wireless remote control. You can actually have unlimited receivers to be controlled off the controller however only 10 individual zones.
The RGB multizone controller consists of 2 parts.
Multizone receiver: The multizone receivers can each control the following:
Total metre-age the receiver can control: (3 x 5amp)
RGB 7.2w 12v = 25 metres
RGB 7.2w 24v = 50 metres
RGB 14.4w 24v = 25 metres
The receiver do not need to be linked as they are wireless. Again they are RF (radio frequency) so do not need to be ‘line of site’ with the handheld controller. When paired with the wireless handheld remote you can have up to individual zones making this controller ideal for clubs/ bars / restaurants.
The wireless remote control has 10 buttons so you can pair and then individually control up to 10 zones. You can even have more than one receiver paired to each zone. Making the controller flexible enough for any project required. You could have for example a night club and in one room have 5 receivers all on zone one. The next room could have 2 receivers on zone 2 and another room could have 1 receiver on zone 3 and so on. Then you can individually control each zone (room). You also have the option to control all the zones (rooms) together with the touch of a button.
The wireless controller has a touch colour wheel allowing to select any shade of any colour, colour scrolls and fully dimming.
