Choosing an RF Band
If you’ll be using this technology only in the USA, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand then it’s best to use a 900MHz system because it avoids most interference caused by the many wireless devices in our daily lives.

If you plan to tour elsewhere in the world, like Europe, Japan, and most other places, then you’ll need to use the 2.4GHz band. RC4 LumenDim devices use genuine LumenRadio CRMX radio technology, ensuring compatibility with LumenRadio CRMX and Wireless Solution W-DMX transmitters, as well as a wide range of compatible products from numerous manufacturers.  Learn more about LumenRadio.

Looking into your size and power handling needs; some things to consider when purchasing or renting :

• Size of the objects you are lighting
• How many watts need to be controlled at a time
• How much control over color do you need (referred to as color mixing)?

The more channels within your devices available to control, the more specific your color mixing will be. Our smallest 2-Dim device may be used to control one color, while our 6-Dim devices may be used to control a wider range of colors and color mixes.

Also available is our patented RC4 Custom Pixel Profiles™ string controller. This device has the ability to control each tiny light source, allowing for many different motion effects. Our RC4 Custom Pixel Profiles™ let you reduce the number of DMX channels you need, without limiting your creativity in designing the looks you want.

Run Time
If the object will only be used sparingly, small batteries may be used. But if they must be up and running for long periods, then more thought must go into finding the right battery for long, reliable operation. For more details on battery choice please see this useful information on batteries. 

To ensure you get the most useful accessories, it’s always best to start with a “Get Started Kit” and add devices as you need : RC4Magic-900MHz or RC4 LumenDim
