The LED lights and remote for an item do not have an exclusive mode of communication. In fact, if you have several products in your space that light up using LEDs, your remote may hone in on the wrong one.
If the remote does not control your desk, turntable, or TV stand as it should, ensure that it is properly plugged into a USB port. Next, check for objects in the room with similar LED light technology. Turning these objects off may correct the miscommunication between the light and the remote in question.
