Wayne K Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 What experience are people having using LED C9 strobes on LOR controllers? I ordered 10 of these and put them in today to compare them and when I tested them earlier in the day they looked ok. But tonight with my show running, they come on but look dim and like they are in a shimmer mode. I looked at the channels and they show all on when I look at one of the cells. I have 8 of them on one channel and 2 on another channel on a different controller and they look the same. My controllers are the older CTB16D blue boards.

dgrant Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 You should not have them dimmed therefore on/off only. Especially goes for regular strobes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne K Posted December 12, 2020 Author Share Posted December 12, 2020 Not sure what you mean by that. I have them set for on/off no dimming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgrant Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 If they were/are dim, I was thinking you had them dimmed or possibly you've limited the controller output on those channels. I bought some LED strobes long ago but after testing them, O quickly found they weren't going to work as I wished. They all blinked at the same time unless you left them on for several minutes. Doing so would allow them to slowly spread out and look better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oliver Blatt Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 I don’t remember who posted it, but to deal with lack of randomness, they put the strobes on 2 or 3 separate channels and staggered when they turned on. That got the random strobe effect they were looking for. I have not tried this myself, but it sounds like it should work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k6ccc Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 That's what I have sequenced. The Zenon strobes are on four separate circuits, and the LED strobe string is on a fifth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
