Guys,
I am looking at putting a number of strings of 12v LED lights throughout our house.
The ones i have tested with up until now have been controller by a RF Remote PWM box - however each box is only rated to 8AMPs at 12V
As i intend to have 6 strings of the LEDS in a number of rooms (each string draws 6AMPs) i would have to have an individual PWM unit and remote control for each string.
ideally what i am looking for is a single remote control that would dim all 6 LED strings together (so a max of 36AMPs at 12V)
The boxes i am talking about are these

When i open one up there does not seem to be anyway of setting a frequency or the code they respond to - i have two of them at the moment and they are both set to different IDs (sticker on the box and remote gives a 4 digit ID number)
When i have queried the sellers they can not quite come to grips with what i want to achieve.
Wondering if there is a way to use the PWM output from a picaxe and step it up to 12v and many amps ?
