Ever wished one slim remote could run your colour-changing and your white LED strip lights at the same time? That is exactly what the 3 Zone RF Vertical Remote (SKU Y3) from LED MONTREAL was built for. Call it an LED strip remote, a wireless RF controller remote or simply the handset that finally tames a whole house of led light strips — it is a vertical, one-hand transmitter that sends commands to compatible receivers instead of a single fixture. Assign each zone to a different kind of led strip lighting — RGB, RGBW, RGB+CCT, single colour or adjustable white (CCT) — and switch between them in a heartbeat, from the couch, the hallway or the shop counter.

The Y3 runs on 3V (2 x AAA batteries), so there is no wiring, no wall box and no electrician needed to put it to work. It transmits on 2.4GH radio frequency, which means it does not need line of sight the way infrared handsets do: point it anywhere and it still gets through, up to a control distance of 30m. Each zone talks to its own receiver, and every zone you plan to use needs at least one controller. You can group several controllers on the same zone — they simply answer the same command together — but all controllers sharing a zone must be the same type. Add an RGB controller to Zone 1, for example, and every other controller on Zone 1 has to be RGB as well. Zones you do not use stay silent, so a one-zone system works just as well as a full setup.

This is the remote for a basement theatre with RGB cove lighting on one zone and warm white under-cabinet led lighting strips on another, for a Montréal café mixing accent colour with task white, or for a contractor wiring a whole condo of ruban LED runs and handing the client one handset instead of five. It pairs with the WL5 (Wi-Fi all-in-one), ML5 (Matter + HomeKit all-in-one) and PZ5 (Zigbee + Wi-Fi all-in-one) controllers, plus FUT036 for single colour, FUT035 and FUT035 (Original) for CCT, FUT037, FUT037 (Original) and FUT043 for RGB, FUT038 and FUT044 for RGBW, and FUT039, FUT039 (Original) and FUT045 for RGB+CCT. Suitable for residential and commercial projects — grab the Y3 and take control of every strip in the room.

One handset, several kinds of strip
Most remotes force you to choose: either you control colour-changing tape or you control white tape. The Y3 does both. Its vertical layout sits naturally in one hand, and the zone buttons let you jump from an RGB LED strip in the ceiling cove to a plain warm white run under the cabinets without picking up a second device. Each zone is simply a channel: you decide what lives on it when you pair the receivers. That makes the Y3 as useful in a one-room setup as it is in a multi-room install where the homeowner wants everything answered by one LED strip remote.

How the zones actually work
Every zone you intend to use needs at least one controller, and that controller defines the zone's personality: RGB, RGBW, RGB+CCT, single colour or adjustable white. You can put several controllers on the same zone — they all react to the same command at the same time, which is perfect for long runs split across multiple power supplies or for two identical rooms you always want in sync. The one rule to respect is consistency: all controllers on a given zone must be of the same type. Pair an RGB receiver to Zone 1 and every other receiver you add to Zone 1 must be RGB too. Zones you leave empty simply do nothing, so there is no need to fill the remote before your system works.

Radio frequency, not infrared
The Y3 transmits at 2.4GH, a true RF link rather than a line-of-sight infrared beam. In practice you can leave the controller tucked behind a valance, inside a cabinet, above a drop ceiling or in a service closet and still operate the strip from another part of the room. The stated control distance is 30m, which comfortably covers an open-plan basement, a retail floor or a long corridor. Power comes from 3V (2 x AAA batteries), so the remote stays completely wireless — no wall box to cut, no low-voltage cable to fish, nothing to inspect.

Where it earns its keep — and the paperwork
Think of a finished basement with a colour-changing perimeter on one zone and soft white stair lighting on another; a kitchen renovation where under-cabinet LED strip lighting stays white while the toe-kick glows in colour; a boutique, salon or restaurant that shifts its accent lighting for the evening service; or a home office where a single handset handles shelf lighting and a backlit display wall. Because the Y3 is a transmitter, it does not replace a driver or power supply — you still need a compatible receiver on each zone and a suitable low-voltage supply for the tape itself.
