    Great system

    We retro-fitted all of our Dracast fresnels and LED 2000's with this kit plus 5 additional light adaptors we bought separately. Worked immediately to control intensity and color temp. Super easy setup.

    Works great but poor build

    This has been great for small quick needs on sets where lights are rigged overhead or on lifts and allows for quick easy adjustments. The downside is the build quality of the antennas is horrible. After only a few months I am trying to get one covered by warranty that fell apart on me. I would recommend this to someone who needs quick and easy wireless control, but you have to be extremely careful with the antennas if you want to be able to use it for more than a few months.

    If I just need to adjust light intensity, how many DMX 512 internally compatible lights (not needing the DMX adapters) can I control with this controller?

    Thanks - I ended up buying the DMXit / Hudson Spider wireless DMX controller. Works great.

    Does the receivers require to be constantly plugged in or can they run without being plugged in? Also do they receive electricity from the light or do they have an internal battery that needs to be charged?
    Asked by: Eric
    The SWIT Pocket Wireless DMX Controller Kit can use two AA batteries for 4 hours of run time, or it can be powered via Micro USB to a power bank.

    Do the RECEIVERS (not controller) have internal batteries? Can they be powered by usb power bank for lights with no usb port?
    Asked by: Anthony
    The receivers in the SWIT Pocket Wireless DMX Controller Kit do not have a battery built in. The receivers are powered by the USB port. You can use a USB charger or a power bank.
