TaylorFox Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Hi everyone, I've been using Light-O-Rama for about five years now and this is the weirdest issue I've seen thus far. For one of my sequences the lights on my house stay on at 30% intensity for the entire song and an animation takes place on several Christmas trees in my yard. I've never had a problem with this sequence, but this year I've noticed that the lights on the house that are at intensity flicker every so often. Anyone have any idea what this might be from? Thanks in advance, and Merry Christmas everyone!-Taylor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james campbell Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 haw many channels are you running on the house,if it is just one then may be a bad triac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scubado Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 If they are leds, you may need snubbers. There are quite a few recent threads you'll want to look for in the newbie section. Not sure about your 30% issue going though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorFox Posted December 18, 2011 Author Share Posted December 18, 2011 There are 12 channels on the house and 16 channels on the mega tree that are at 30% intensity, and I'm running all incandescent strands. It's just weird that this is happening because I've never had this issue in the past Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james campbell Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 I would try to unhook the controllers from the network and see if they still flicker,if so than the controllers may need reset. if they stop flickering than maybe the cat-5 is corroded causing interference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max-Paul Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 You know, a controller reset cost nothing and is relatively quick to do. And have seen a good number of people who have had strange stuff happen, that a controller reset has cleared up. How about trying this out and let us know if that takes care of it.

MARY DUNAKEY Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 how do I reset a controller? I have 1 channel that stays lit all the time and does not follow commands. It has worked perfectly for many shows but just started acting up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrownOut Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Are the light sets wet when this happens? Or can it happen when dry too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmoore60 Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Any CFL (compact Floresent Lamps) being used this year that were not used last year. These do not necessarily have to be used in your display, but in your house anywhere. It has been know that these can cause issues.Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max-Paul Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Well Looks like Taylor fixed his problem. His last post was on the 18th and now it is the 28th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorFox Posted January 1, 2012 Author Share Posted January 1, 2012 Yeah guys, sorry I haven't provided an update on the issue. The holidays hit with such intensity that it slipped my mind to reply. A reset of all the controllers actually corrected the issue. Such a simple fix! Thanks everyone for your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
