5 of 5 A good easy to use controller August 27, 2018
Reviewer: Kevin Howard from Fort Worth, TX United States  
I needed something simple for some dumb RGB minitrees and this works.  DMX, easy to follow instructions and shipped the same day I ordered.  No nonsense as always with Holidaycoro

5 of 5 Works great November 14, 2017
Reviewer: Kelly Murphy from Plymouth, MN United States  
I'm using it on the Coro singing tree with dumb pixels.  once you figure out the switches for start address it works great.  Would be nice if it came with a switch/jumper to terminate the signal.
