4 Port Genius Receiver

The Experience Lights 4 Port Genius Receiver is a simple, easy-to-use lighting control solution for commercial or hobby use. 

From the Manufacturer:

The 4 Output Genius Receiver can control up to 4 strings of connected 5V-12V pixel lights via the fused spring terminals. It can handle up to 1,600 pixels per output, and does not require any termination at the end of a chain.

The Genius line of products were created to bring innovative, reliable, easy-to-use and cost-effective options to the lighting industry. Genius is based on a core-principle of “don’t make me think”. Genius products are not Pi Hats, or BeagleBone capes; Genius are standalone products that do not require secondary hardware to function.
The Genius product line is ideal for commercial lighting installations that need no-nonsense reliable solutions that ‘just work’! The Genius product line is also great for customers who are new to the lighting hobby and want a controller that works without having to learn all the intricacies and confusion that are common with other products in the industry.
