Elation Light Bars and LED Strip Tape

Post by bsrodgers »

I am running Elation Light Bars and LED strip tape daisy chained together. The strip tape is fine. But when I go to black a few of the Elation bars will randomly light up on their own.

It is typically not the entire fixture just part of the RGBWA bar. As if a program is pushing through them but they're black.

It will also hop across just 2 or 3 fixtures that are physically sitting next to each other.

I gues you allready double checked the dmx startadresses of each fixture with the one in the MADRIX patch.
If so, it sounds like a fixture related or dmx signal related issue.
How long is your dmx way (kabel length + number of fixtures on one daisy chain).
Try to use a dmx terminator for example.
Or a dmx booster will maybe help.
.
What kind of dmx interface did you use?
LEDs are nothing without control ;-)
