    Separate fan and light controls

    So, just in case you haven't heard of the new A.C. Ryan BlackFire4 UV Fans, they have separate fan and light wires, so you can adjust the lights and the fans individually. http://www1.acryan.com/_fan/index.shtml Nifty huh? Well, here's my problem: I want to use three of these fans, and control all of the lights with one knob of a fan controller, and all of the fans with another knob on the same controller. I can't find a fan controller that I'm sure would do this. I've never done anything like this and need help from someone who has, or at least someone who actually listened in physics about electric circuits...

    I was thinking something like this:

    fan circuit

    but I can't find a controller that can handle all that. I plan on getting 2 red 120 mm fans and 1 red 80 mm fan and using two of these cords to link them together.

    Thank you in advance for any and all help!

    Why not use a couple of these controllers.....

     

    Edit: Out of specs for the controller "This Aspire Multi Fan Speed Controller helps keeping noise level down while maximum your cooling capability and give you the ability to take control of your case fans (up to 5 fans)"

    That'd be great, but after reading the reviews and seeing that it may cause sparks to fly around inside the case and ruin parts...I'm a little wary...anybody else have any ideas?
