HLANDIS Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 I am running 2 units one is a show director unit. When the show is not running some of my lights on unit 1 and 2 are staying on. It looks like they are about 30% on, they work fine during the show but stay lit during and after the show. Any idea why this is happening? Thanks for the help.

jimswinder Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Have you checked the option "turn all lights off at the end of the show" in the show editor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmoore60 Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Sounds like bad triacs.Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgfan Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 are the lights staying on led lights? Could need a snubber instead of bad triacs? Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale W Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Having the same thing happen to me on 12 controllers. Includes LEDs and incasdecents at about 25% power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale W Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 bump - if anybody has a reasonable solution, I would love to hear it. I have checked the all lights off box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmoore60 Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 The answers were above. What more do you want?If LEDs are not turning off completely try adding resistive load. Such as a single C-9 bulb.Try a controller reset.If that don't work then most likely a triac bad.Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dale W Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Not running radio. My incandescents are staying on too. My entire display is lit about 20 %. It is the craziest thing i have ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest wbottomley Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 What happens when you disconnect the controller from the network? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
