LED Ligths won't work

[dandias]

My LED's won't work. They stay on, but I can't control them from my DMX controller. I thought it was the cable, I changed it and nothing. I tried different dip switch addresses (using #10 on and off, and many other addresses). I tried another light, didn't work either. I just bought another controller. Still no success.

I don't know what's going on! We have a mime performance in our church TONIGHT that's heavily based on the lighting. Please, if anyone has any suggestions they would be GREATLY appreciated.


Thank you very much,
God bless you.

Looks like you have tried everything.

My check list usually goes...

1. Make sure units are getting power
2. Check the patch on the console
3. Check the patch at the unit
4. Make sure your controller is outputting good DMX
5. Make sure your cables are good

Beyond that, it seems like you got bad units. Contact your dealer.

Knowing nothing about the units in question or the console, or your level of experience, my first suspicion would be the addressing. This won't help for tonight, but:

- What fixtures do you have?
- What are your fixtures addressed to?
- What are those addresses softpatched to on the board?
- What board do you have?

Have you got a DMX terminator plugged in at the end of the line? This doesn't help you for your February gig but if I post it here it may help someone else in the future.
