Not sure if these are what you are talking about? Different colors? IMG_0472.JPG One is the temp sensor in the thermostat housing and the others are for the fan switch on the left radiator.

Re: GL1500 Accessory Lighting

Your query doesn't specify whether you're looking for a controller to work multiple modes on a single color LED system, or a multiple color system. In either case,Joe Florida's controllers will handle 1,000 LEDs all day long. You'll want this unit if you're running RGBs. It is also good for customi...
