Details
The Barrow ZDKZQ is a compact controller with an RF remote for 12V RGB lighting with a 4-pin connector. It takes 12V from a 4-pin Molex pass-through connector of the power supply and lets you change the color, mode, speed and brightness of your lighting from the remote, without a motherboard RGB header or software.

Control 12V RGB lighting
Plug the 4-pin Molex connector into a Molex plug of the power supply (it is a pass-through, so the plug stays free for another device) and connect your 12V RGB lighting to the 4-pin output, for example Barrow's earlier 12V LED strips and lit blocks or reservoirs with a 4-pin RGB connector. The controller is a small module in the cable that hides easily behind the motherboard tray.
The RF remote
- Power button switches the lighting on and off.
- MODE+ and MODE- step through the lighting modes, such as steady, flashing and pulsing colors.
- SPEED+ and SPEED- change the speed of the effects.
- BRIGHT+ and BRIGHT- change the brightness.
- COLOR+ and COLOR- step through the colors.
- DEMO runs through the modes automatically.
Radio, not infrared
The remote works by radio (RF), so it does not need a line of sight to the controller inside the case and works from any direction. Barrow gives the range as 30 to 100 meters and says the link resists interference well.
One product per controller
One controller drives one lighting product. To run several products from one controller, Barrow says to use its 1 to 4 extension harness.

Notes
- This controller is for 12V RGB lighting with 4-pin connectors. It does not work with 5V addressable RGB (ARGB) lighting or Barrow's LRC 2.0 (Aurora) products, which use 3-pin connectors; for those, see the ARSKZQ controller.
- Barrow sells it as a 12V controller for 12V lighting; the 5 to 24V rating printed on the module is the range of the controller itself.
- No lighting is included.
- Barrow notes that it may update the look or construction of the product without notice; the product you receive is the current version.
In the box
