NEW Feature: Gfade Sync! GFade 8: a first of its kind, easy to use, fully programmable, Christmas light chase controller that's about to rock your world! This bad boy is not your average run-of-the-mill chase controller. Oh no, it is a professional, top-of-the-line, 8-channel wonder that will blow your mind with its unmatched performance and ease of use. And with the latest firmware update available at gfade.com, you can synchronize multiple GFade controllers together so they function as one! You now have the most powerful and flexible chase controller ever made AND the only chase controller in the world with expandable channel outputs. Need more outputs? Just add another GFade!
Housed in a tough-as-nails waterproof aluminum enclosure, this baby is built to withstand anything you throw at it. And you can be up and running, with fully custom animations and more, in just a few minutes.
But wait, there's more! Prepare to be amazed by the advanced features of the GFade 8. With WiFi access for web-based configuration, you can effortlessly customize your settings and create mind-blowing animations. The web-based (that's right, no app to download or install!) drag-and-drop timeline interface allows you to create any lighting animation you can imagine.
Speaking of animations, this chase controller comes pre-loaded with built-in animations that are ready to go as soon as you plug it in. No time wasted, no hassle. And if you're a control freak (we won't judge), the scheduling function allows you to start and stop animations on your own terms.
We know flexibility is key, which is why the GFade 8 packs a punch with a maximum output of 8A per output. Plus, it works with a wide range of power inputs from 110VAC to 240VAC (50-60Hz). So whether you're working on a small project or going all out with a massive installation, this controller has got your back.
Get ready to take your lighting game to the next level with the GFade 8. It's not just a chase controller, it's a fully programmable powerhouse that will make your lights dance like never before.
Can I Sync More Than One GFade Together If I Need More Outputs?
YES! With the latest firmware update available at www.gfade.com you can set one GFade as the primary controller and the rest of your GFade controllers to "Sync from Primary" and you will have an ever-expanding network of animation outputs.
Does It Synchronize to Music?
No. The GFade 8 is an extremely feature rich 8 channel chase controller. It does not synchronize to music or have any audio capability.
Do I Need A Computer to Program Custom Patterns?
Yes. You can control many of aspects of the GFade by connecting to it from a mobile browser, but in order to program custom patterns, you will need to connect to the GFade through a desktop or laptop computer.
