hi am new to dmx lighting . on the back of lights dmx in is it for puting the lighting controller into and dmx out for linking other lights to each other ?

Yep there is a DMX in and thru. You can theoretically daisy chain an unlimited number of fixtures together. You cannot do a passive split using something like this:

Or things will start to work erratically. What you would need is something like this:

No.

Controller Out >>> Fixture 1 IN - Fixture 1 Out >>> Fixture 2 IN
