Arduino-based 4-channel Tx/Rx system

G'day Arduinoers!

I've got a project that I'd like to use Arduino's for, I'm just checking the validity of my thought process here.

I have 4 sets of LED light banks (each bank of lights has a Red, Orange and Green LED). I want to build a transmitter, which allows me to select a particular bank, and set that bank's LED colour (either Red/Orange/Green, only one colour can be on at a time).

My thinking is this: the transmitter is basically an Arduino Uno with attached battery, in an enclosure. I'm not sure if I want to use switches to switch between the 4 light banks and to select the colour, or an 'LCD button shield' to scroll through the various combinations.

I'm going to use a radio frequency transmitter shield with the Uno. Here's where I'm not entirely sure. Do I need to have additional Arduino modules at each of the light banks, or can I use a dedicated RF PCB receiver? Also, will the transmitter Arduino need to have 12 channel output (1 for each light-colour combination)?

Any suggestions here or alternate ways of doing this would be great!

Thanks!

Don't need Arduino at all. These RF modules work well.

No, the Arduino can send all manner of encoded messages on the same channel. You can send commands like "turn bank 1 green" and "turn bank 2 red" on the same channel.
