5 of 5 Very nice controllers August 9, 2016
Reviewer: Michael Bourassa from Auburn, MA United States  
I purchased 5 of these last year.  I ran them every night during Christmas. Never had a single problem. That is why I chose them for my pixel controllers. Great product.

5 of 5 Great Controller March 3, 2016
Reviewer: Chuck Brooks from Danville, IL United States  
I have used a number of these controllers in the past and will continue to purchase them.  I have never had a problem with set up or operation.  This is a very cost effective way to handle multiple RGB dumb channels.
