If used with a controller such as a Mi-Light controller, do these still need to be resistered and will they have variable light color capabilities?

I'm sorry to I'm not familiar with the Mi-Light controller. These are simply diodes and there should be a resistor in the circuit. I just don't know if the Mi-Light includes the resistance

I am pretty sure they did? If they are on a single pole you will use the neutral as the in, and the hot as the out. If you are using these as a motion sensor that has multiple one of switches in the same loop. You will need two hots and the neutral. By the way I have bought a lot of motion sensors. These are my least favorite. CFL, fluorescent, and LED's do not work well with them at all. For only a few extra dollars you can get the lutron brand in a variety of styles and functions. Make sure the sensor is suitable for the lights you are choosing.

Yes works perfect. That is the exact reason I purchased them. Total control of each light from the camera location.

yes, it will show you in light in the controller. when its full charged, the light will disappear from controller.

I don't think so. Certainly not with the supplied controller. There are no chasing or blinking patterns, they all blink, or fade, or change colors, etc. together.

What you want are called "addressable" RGB LED's. With that your controller (Arduino, Raspberry Pi, etc) could call on each LED and change individual LED colors.EDIT: Just realized how old this question is, geez, but hopefully someone else will find it relevant.

I dont see any reason why a resistor would be required. They are 12 volt bulbs. I simply installed them into a boat 12v light fixture, replacing the original 12v incandescent bulbs. Although they are not as bright as the original bulbs, disappointing.

They appear to be alright with a spot but I am only using them with bright LED spots. Sorry. I don't mind testing it out though.

It needs four channels to work. Red Channel, Green Channel, Blue Channel, and Brightness which also controls whether is steady light or strobe mode depending on the value if this channel. if this channel is not present the lights don't perform correctly. In my DMX controller, Channel 1 controls the intensity. I assume this would the same for all controllers.

Simon xt wireless control module does have dedicated buttons/ feature for lighting control which I believe would work with what you're referring to (z wave switches).

they work well for me. Moving the controller lights the writing and symbols up. They stay light for 30 seconds or so after they are lit up.

I installed these with no problem, no resistor. I wired mine to the tail lights so they are on all the time as rear side marker lights, same as the previous two answers. I used plain old crimp connectors.

No. No load resistor required. All you have to do is wire them up like you do regular lights.

The controller remembers it is no issue at all. And so u know as well if u move the controller to another area of this lighting and plug it in it will still hold that same color u last set.

They have an anti flicker resistor just plug n play. But thw customer service sucks the worst. I had to keep on them to refund my money. Due to an issue with moisture inside the housing of the lights.

I agree with supaJStudios,it is merely the color of the light that will be change.yes they should work.

haven't seen the controller on Amazon, but yes, you can add a module that passes sound activated info to the strips with these pixels. here is a 12v version: http://goo.gl/n98gcJif you are not comfortable doing a little soldering or minor electrical work, there are sets that have the sound activation module built in.* note, if you are using the 12v sound module, I'd use the 12v version of the WS2811 lights... they come in 5v and 12v... it saves you time and heartache to use 1 voltage.
