LED light strip question.

[skidoorider]

I just finished installing an LED light strip under the awning on our 29BHS.
The question I have for others who have installed these: How close (or how far away) can you operate your remote? I need to hold our remote within a foot of the receiver antenna wire in order for ours to work. Is this normal ???

I operate within 25 feet with no problems, however i noticed if the sensor isnt positioned just right i have to be righ up on it!

I haven't installed the LED lights yet, BUT had the same problem with the IR remote. I solved the problem by purchasing a MuchBuy Mini RF RGB LED Controller with Wireless Remote Control for 5050 3528

The range is now about 25-30 ft. The cost was less than $15 on ebay.

I can go at least 25 ft.

Mine receiver is sticking out of the outside fridge cover. No issues up to at least 20 feet. It is also protected from the weather inside of there.
