I have 20 of this unit and I have noticed that the built in fx all have a very bad strobe effect in the sequence. It would appear to be a software problem. Has anybody noticed this. It renders all of the FXs useless

Hmm.. Doesn't make sense.
the effects have a speed control. When you are using the FX the dimmer then turns to a speed control so you may need to adjust the speed to make it look right.

Give it a shot.

I am almost sure that it is not related to speed control but i will look at it one more time. It appears like it plays the sequence then rewinds very quickly and plays again.

is there anyway you could record video of it and put it on youtube for us to see? just wondering. jingles.

I have took another look at a unit and in stand alone mode program 1- 7 have this neurotic strobing thing going on. This renders them almost useless in stand alone mode except program 8 unless your gig requires a neurotic theme I will ad a controller and look at the programs that way also

PU.. I have a DLED 36 next to me.
Please let me know exactly what you are doing so I can try to make it happen here.

switch 7 and 11 on for stand alone mode.

1+7 on = program 1
2+7 on = program 2...

All of the programs except #8 (seitch 1+3+7+11) have a strobe part that makes the program look bad. If this is intended then it seems like a mistake.

i have alos just noticed that the unit has a 7 chanel DMX asignment sheet on line and the manual says it is six chanels How am i to know which i have ? This may help as the first chanel of the seven looks like it now addresses my issue

I have the same problem when i use a DMX controler. Each program has a strobe at the end

PU about ur previos question i believe all DLED36's have 7 channel capabilities. u just have to address them in 7 channel mode. now are you running all 20 of these with no DMX controler or are you using a dmx controler if so which one. try adressing them in 7 channel each and see if u have the master dimmer function on ch. 7. peace! jingles.

My units are 6 channels like the manual says. 1= red 2= green 3= blue 4= FX 5= strobe 6= dimmer .I have had them on an Avolites Pearl, a strand 550, a Elation Magic 260 , a dove systems IQ512 and a Baxter systems pocket console. I love the light and am using them on a bunch of shows but as far as the internal programs go they are not performing in a manor that is suitable of a professional quality unit. Is it possible to upgrade the chip to function in seven channel mode? I also have 6 of the design 60 LED strips ant the programs in this unit work very well.

I have the same problems as well with a few Design LED 36s I just ordered. Great lights, but the standalone programs have strobing in them as well as the internal programs via DMX.

Also, according to one of the paper manuals I have in front of me right now, there are two DMX modes. The first is 6 channel mode: R, G, B, Programs, Strobe, Dimmer. The second mode is 3 channel mode: R, G, B.

guys im tellin ya. you can put them in 7-channel mode. i know i did it on compuware on the WFX booth this past month in atlanta. u have to allow 7 channels per unit to the next. try it and get back to me. channel 7 is a master dimmer. ok? peace! jingles.

That just explains channel issues, not the strobing with internal programs and stand alone. The revision of the manual is from 12/06, and the 7 channel list is from 5/07, so the manual has yet to be updated for 7 channels or 6 channel lights are still being made/sold. What I stated is merely what was in black and white in front of me and what was sent with the product. It is also quite possible that PU lighting has an older, 6 channel version of the light and not the 7 channel. I know that when I use mine, they respond with 6 channels, not 7. I don't know how old the lights physically are, but Channel 1-3 is RGB respectively, 4 is internal programs, 5 is strobe, and 6 is dimmer. So when patched one to one, channel 7 brings up red on the second light without effecting the first.

I have a great idea Jingles why dont you tell us how to put them in seven channel mode. My options are 3 and six and it does not matter how you address the control if the light can not be put in seven channel mode itself. I am standing by to buy 20 more units but it is now a long stand by.
