Can we use nikon remote control for any brand of flashlight?

I was thinking of purchasing a cheaper flashlight which is of a brand Meiko. Can the nikon remote control be used with it or it must be used with a nikon flashlight as well? Please advice.

No, Nikon is for Nikon and Nikon only.

It's NOT a flashlight! Flash unit /strobe.
The answer is still no. Sorry.

One of the most important things I have learned when it comes to using a flash is getting it off the camera. There's a good reason for that: it allows for more control over where I place the light. A very important tool for this is a wireless flash trigger. I tested out the Hahnel Combi TF Remote Control & Flash Trigger for Nikon DSLRs and, for the most part, I like it. It is a question of value really. If you can manage without a typical name brand like PocketWizard, you will find this interesting. As a remote control, the Combi TF allows wireless control of the camera's shutter release, auto focus, continuous shooting, bulb mode, and 4-second timer delay trigger.
