Doesn't work properly.

Bought to replace a remote control that was no longer working properly. It worked great when first installed, but after using the extra buttons it stopped working properly. Once blue was selected it was never properly turned off. Instead of the off button turning off the light, it turned blue every time. Disconnected and removed battery, tried to re-sync, nothing fixed this 'new shutdown'. Every other selection worked fine, except off always turned blue. There was no other way to turn off the…

Disappointed, then further research was positive.

I bought a 24 watt Armacost driver based on my voltage drop calculations (7ft LED strip) to match the wireless remote. I ran two strips totaling 36 inches under the counter for a preliminary test of the driver and remote positioning of the LEDs. The LEDs came on at full brightness but the remote control didn't work. General. So according to another reviewer here, apparently the driver immediately smoked the remote? I will call the manufacturer the next business day and see what support they can

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Some small things

They fail due to Armacost misinformation

I went through 2 of these, each of which failed within a day. Armacost recommended purchasing a 24 watt driver with a 98 inch color changing light bar with this remote control. They don't say that the 24 watt driver will turn off the remote if you use a shorter piece of light strip. I cut my strip in half for a short dry strip. I used the other half to light up the ceiling above the dry plank. For this half I got an 8 watt driver. Guess what. The 8 watt driver and remote control have never let…

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Some errors

Good quality but tedious work

This is a good quality controller that far outperforms many cheap controllers with lots of colored buttons. While the quality is good, it doesn't offer direct access to the different color combinations it can identify. You have to scroll about 30 to get to the right one. Not a big problem, but it makes it a bit tedious to use.

Pros
  • Optimized for use with Armacost Lighting RibbonFlex LED strips
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for seniors
