One tube is great, but have you tried playing with two?

I’ve been experimenting with two light-painting tubes in the past few years, but managing one tube in each hand (plus the trigger) felt limiting because I couldn’t turn them on/off easily. Simply put, I didn’t enjoy the process. One day, I asked Christian, the DIY expert on the team, to prototype a dual-remote switch that controls both tubes with a single button. And it worked! We have created many images with double tubes since then. And this is just the beginning…

Many of you asked us for the instructions to make your own dual-remote switch, so here’s the tutorial:
