I made a video to describe my idea more clearly...
Please excuse me as I am not totally tech savvy, I can do basic electrics but learn quick.


In short though: I want to simply control my LED lights with a wall mounted controller.
I am not sure if I need to remove the IR controller board from the LED Light, or should I leave it there.
(I'm not sure if the light needs any of the chips on the board to function, or is the whole board only for the use of the IR controller.)



So my question is this:
Can I just simply disconnect the "Negative Wire" and add the 3 separate RGB's like so:


Or should I disconnect the circuit board as it won't be needed?

Example of what I want to do:

Your link to the light on ebay describes it as needing residential level AC power for operation. Universal type input circuit for 85-250 VAC and comes with its own remote.
I am not sure if you can do what you want with the other controller since this one would seem to have its own drivers for the LED.
