If i had eight 4 channel led pars, and i ran them in a series, could i just address the lights in pairs of two for this?

I don't know the answer. I use this to run 4 trees of four Electro 86 LEDs each. I've never tried to really tweak it as I primarily use single solid colors.

Yes you can ... I believe there is a cut point every three LEDS. Cut it at that point on both strands and then solder them together with some small wire and you should be good to go. I will be doing exactly that once the weather warms up.

You can connect the output end of one string to the input end of another string. You will have to disconnect the 12V supply from input end of the string to do this. You can likely run 10 or 15 strings of lights from one of the 12v supplies.

You can solder them in series no problem. You can also shorten this to almost any length by cutting the line at the solder points. These LEDs are extremely bright, so make sure the lights are indirect when covering a room with them. A foot of this made my neon yellow sneakers illuminate as bright as a light.

To the best of my knowledge you have a different problem: Instructions say to not extend one 'string' of LEDs to greater than the standard reel length because the conductors on the flexible strip can not handle greater currents. So if you are going longer than one reel, you need to power that separately.

Like David Ishmael said, wire them in parallel. I have two of these connected to one light and it works as expected. Be prepared for a bit of work to get these in and looking good. I think the time and effort was worth it.

The led's are not individual addressable. But, they are in sets of three and if you push on a light too hard that set if three will turn into a different color, I have not figured out how to get them back to the same color.

Like Jonathan W. Hickman said, These come with switches for two lights at a time, so if you just want to use two lights instead of all 4, you can simply just switch off a pair and use the other two.

You have to purchase two more power supplies for the 3 unit option. I assume that you want the three (or 4) individual 42 LED units to be separated and not linked in a chain. To operate 3 units separately you will have to purchase 2 more power supplies at $18/each. That would give you total control of the low and high power options as well as on/off for all three units.

Yes you can. I have eight in use connected to dimmer circuits. Socket type has no bearing on using a dimmer.

I only did 2 but did hook up 3 there a drop in output for each one you connect together plus also noticed the leds towards power source get warmer the more you hook on im sure you can hook 4 to one power supply but personally would do 2 and 2 each their own power supply

Im pretty sure you can.. I have a 4 way splitter with on/off switches to control my lights.

I'm not really a wiring expert, but I think the way this harness is fused, you'd need 2 harnesses for four lights.

yes u can cuz I am running one LED bulb (60 watts equivalent) on one timmer

No, that required individually addressable LEDs, and those can get quite expensive. If you're looking for that, I suggest looking on Adafruit for an Arduino and addressable LED light strips. You'll have to do a bit of programming and soldering, but the results can be pretty amazing!The controller for this set does have a flash and a fade mode (where they all flash/fade the same color).

Yes you can...I converted two of four. Obviously all must be turned on and off at the same time being on the same switch. I also changed that switch to a dimmer to give a bit of control over the amount of light.

As long as you can set each light up for 3 channel, I have some par cans and a mini kinta I run together, but at the same time I have two par cans that are 4 channel and they don't work with this controller
