Hello,
I am not on this site much due to myself using Renard boards and I dont see much Renards here and I know nothing about Lynx equipment. I made a post at other forums looking for help with an LED issue, and figured I would post here also to see if somebody could help out. Below is what I have posted to other forums before now. Hopefully this is understandable.
Thank you for any help in advance.
Having an issue with a couple led light strands staying on when the show isn't running. The green and blue strsnds on one of my four color bushes stay on about 30 percent lit. Then I have one set of lights, in a run of 6 fifty count strands, that barely on. If I unplug they go off but as soon as iplug back in they come back on. I'm running a ren64xc to ssrez relays. The rest work fine except those couple. I have the same issue at my parents house that I set up. I tried swapping relays but the same problem happens. Ordered some resistors to try msking some snubbers, but not sure if that will help as i read that is mostly for flicker. Picking up a glade plugin to try tonight after work.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Trying to figure this out before Thanksgiving.
Lights are from holidaylightexpress if that helps.
I had one incad strand on an arch on tonight when I got home. I tried swapping boards but the did not help. I tried swapping the rj45 couplers which did nothing either. I unplugged the strand and blew on the plugin behind the male end and blew in the female and that was able to get the incad strand to go off. Now once I ran a test sequence that strand came right back on after and I repeated the process.
For the LED strands, trying to blow the plugs did not solve the problem. The LED strands are not noticeable during the sequence though which is good. That was the same for the incad also, not noticeable during the sequence and dimmed and turned off fine.
I also have a really bad flicker in certain parts and one channel that has about 600 LED lights does not hardly dim at all. Hopefully once the resistors come in they will help a little bit to where the lights will dim.Another section has 400 LED lights and the flicker is noticeable a little bit but not nearly as bad as the 600. The 600 basically just turns on and off.
I believe the incad might be due to moisture and the rain considering fixes the problem once I blow the outlet dry some and today we had a lot of rain here.
