Lights not fading on when suppose too

[Angela1978]

It's my third year running my show. Same sequences as previous year but they are not behaving like they should. No shimmering and sometimes not on at all. Please help!!! Thanks

I've read some time ago that if you have problems with fading to try unplugging the lights from the extension cord and turn the plug 180 degrees and plug back in (basically turning the plug upside-down). Sometime not keeping the hot and neutral wires in line with each other can cause problems. Don't know if it's true buit its an easy test.

Try replacing your cat5 cables one at a time
I had the same issue this year
I run 12 LOR boxes and the very last cat5 cable was causing the other boxes before it to act screwy
some lights would not turn off - timing was off
Good luck

Thanks guys, may be stupid on my part or the port may be broken, but thought that I should post that by changing  the port where the cat five cable went in fixed the problem.  (instead of port in, I put it in the in/out).  Should also state I only use one 16 ch controller.

Glad it was that easy to fix. I just found 4 trials between two controllers are bad. Off season repair.
