A lot of led stuff I come across will flash full white for a second when powered up, but then go back to blackout with or without a DMX signal. Is it that, or they carry on doing something until DMX is recieved? Also, have you checked they are not storing the last DMX state, if they are powered off before being blacked out via DMX? Unlikely, but worth a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STANDALONE OPERATION3.4 AUTOMATICIf no DMX control signal is present at the DMX INPUT, the unit independently runs through its show programme[/font] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topsy100 Posted February 23, 2015 Author Share Posted February 23, 2015 when power up some of them (not all) seem to want to do random things. I get what you are saying about section 3.4 I will see if I can compare settings on those that dont go wild on switch on. To be honest the manual is poor Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ojc123 Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I have some LEDJ PARs. Two of them come on red if I power them up before the desk is on. The rest don't. As far as I can tell their setups are identical. No idea why it happens but I live with it. I just put it down to cheap kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topsy100 Posted February 24, 2015 Author Share Posted February 24, 2015 I agree but this kit isn't cheap. I Will see what happens when I go back to Finnish the job next week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Vann Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Hi Topsy, If you ever have any questions about any of your Prolights equipment, please do not hesitiate to get in touch with either myself or one of my colleagues here at AC Entertainment Technologies. It sounds like some of your LumiPix16H battens will be set to Master, and some to Slave. If the unit is set to be a slave it will remain dark until it gets a DMX signal, where as if it is set to Master it will act as a standalone fixture and run its last manually set state - perfect if you want to uplight a wall for an event, but less so if you are lighting a cyc for an opera! I hope that helps, and if you need any help when you are on site just drop me a line....
