Christmas Light Chase Controllers

Chase controllers add movement and animation to any light display by managing multiple independent power channels — switching them on and off in programmed sequences to create chasing, bouncing, and fading effects. The Christmas Light Emporium carries controllers ranging from simple single-channel flashers to fully programmable multi-channel animation controllers with sync capability.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between a chase controller and a timer? A timer simply turns power on and off on a schedule. A chase controller manages multiple independent zones in sequence to create animation — and can also handle scheduling.

How many channels do I need? One channel per independent light zone you want to animate. A roofline with four separately controlled sections needs a 4-channel controller.

Are chase controllers weatherproof? Some models are weatherproof; others are not. Refer to individual product pages.

What’s the Reindeer Proof™ Warranty? Our in-house warranty covering manufacturing defects and performance failures. Duration varies — see individual product pages.
