Apex controls the intensity and color separately.
You need nothing more then a 20$ cable to control them. Then 3.5 mm between them. Once you have that all controls it for you. If you don't have a apex, just the 3.5 mm cables between them. Then the first light becomes the master and the rest slave lights and all run off the first lights controls.
I will say there is one issue I have found. They don't really run at low settings, like below 10%. They don't do moon lights really. To me, that isn't a big deal as I already have moonlights.
