What do the lights mean? The manual does not explain it. What pattern indicates good?

They are "continuity" test lights, for pin 1, pin 2, pin 3 for XLR, Pin 1 (ground) & Pin 2 ("hot") for 2 conductor cables.also there is a "intermittent" "LED" that can be reset by a push butto to check cables of intermittent solder/connection "connections". This is one of my BEST test tools I carry around for audio work, the variable Db output is also nice. I do love this little box I highly do recommend it! worth every "penny" of a purchase.

That depends on what you are testing. For instance, when checking 1/4 inch cables the light patterns for good are like X's. When checking balanced cables you get something different. The best way to get used to it is to take known good cables and take note of the light patterns. Then take know bad cables and see what they give. Not complicated. good luck.

I would send it back. I have had mine for some time and have had no issues with mine. Sounds like a bad light sensor. Good luck.

We put them overhead. They have a default flashing pattern. It reverts to that every time. So if you want a specific flash pattern, you'll have to punch the button several times to get it every time they are turned on. They are bright and we faced one forward and one backward.

The light does not follow you around, the lights are fixed in place where you want the light to show. upon detecting motion, the lights illuminate the area.

Good question, I have not seen a good answer yet. The light is very bright and i think for the money you will not be disappointed.

Solid yellow light means the battery is charging. I think the other indicators going off after a minute or two is "normal" operation. Mine does the same thing. I would kind of like the information display to stay illuminated. But you can always "refresh" it by pressing the left most button. I'd prefer I didn't have to walk around the car to do so.

It should mean the amount of focus or concentration of light that is spotty which would be more the 30 or diffused and broader which would be closer to 60 degrees. You should check the laws in your state for where you can mount these lights. In NY I believe you can use these for off roading or plowing driveways but not on the highway. Anything mounted above your original headlight even the hood may not be used on the highway. Therefore 30 degrees would be less in the eyes of on coming traffic but 60 would be definitely in their eyes. It would look brighter to them but you would see further in the dark with the 30 if that makes any sense?

Mine does the same thing and it works perfectly - my suggestion is don't worry about the lights - also, sometimes you have to give the system time to change so don't be in a big rush - good luck, I really like it.

I have no idea, maybe you turned them on and off and the light was trying to go away or maybe its just light reflecting of the tiny bulbs. Idk. But one thing is for sure bro. The lights are great. Ive had them for a really long time now and they are awesomem everyone ask me how come they are so bright and where did I get them. Once in a while ill turn them on and they wont work but I hit the switch on and off twice then they work without a problem.

So from my experience, as well as from some of the reviews, this light is good only if you get the correct parts which it seems like doesn't always happen. I'm not sure why the company only gives you pictures on how to set up a softbox....which really isn't rocket science. It should have pictures on how to mount the light in the event that a part was not manufactured properly (as is the case with me so they're sending me a replacement piece). Call the company. They'll help you out.

I'd say it means you have a bad one and need to return it... I like the light, so I think if you get a good one, you'll like it too. Good luck!

I think it means the 500 lumen light w/duel mode. (500/5) This is the newest version. It's a wonderful light. I bought one and then just bought another one for my son.

It means 2 lights. Well worth the price. Just make sure you have a full 12th and a good ground.

Hi, The light is not a "pilot light". It is simply a means to check to see if the unit is functioning properly. To check it you depress the little spot and if it lights up, The unit is working OK. It has its own Thermostat to maintain temp. Geo

it means that your battery is running low and that it will be shutting off soon. I was on a night bike ride and I had the light setting on high then it was from green light to a red blinking light after 5 minutes it shut off.

You need to upgrade to better spoke lights if you would like to change pattern. These lights are already programmed to a certain pattern already. More money if you want to control the pattern of designs

The wiring was simple. Install the lights and install the signal board. But make sure you have a good voltage supplying to the light. Or else you will have problem changing its colors and getting it work properly. Trust me I had this going. Make sure your wiring is good. And you getting good voltage.
