Why this electro swarm doesn't turn the lights back and forth and just on and off steady light? Is there any troubleshooting guide available?

This light is a piece of junk. The motor doesn't move and it only flashes. A waste of money. I don't know why amazon still selling this. I try to return it they give me hardtime. So, I decided to scrap it.

Check out a YouTube video to see correct light sequencing, but it sounds like it's probably broken. I had 2 faulty units before I contacted Eliminator directly and they sent me one that worked properly.

sounds defective... The motor should spin on and off with sound once it starts up.

mine work as dome light and map light independently . try flipping end to end and adjusting your dimmer switch.

My guess is you got a defective one. They are fairly inexpensive to begin with, so it wouldn't be a long shot if you ended up getting one that was malfunctioning the way you are describing. My advice is to just send it back to Amazon so they can replace it with another one. I know it's an inconvenience, but in the end, you'll be glad you did. It's a great light, especially when it works the way it's supposed to.

ok i had the same problem after i installed the forth light to the back because i had only three lights installed (front and both sides)...the wires are thin so u have to be really careful when wrapping the cords.. plug them out then plug back in and see. right now only the blue works perfectly but i notice wen i shake the wires all the colors works.

it may be because there is not enough resistance with just a couple of LED bulbs. I have the switch on my front yard with 6 LED lights without any issue. The only other thing I can think of is some LED's are polarity sensitive. They work either way, but if the nutural and line are reversed (and the fixture isn't grounded) it might flicker. Wish I could be more help...

I'm also having issues with my motion detectors on my two 888LMs. My lights are coming on and not turning off when nothing is happening in the garage.

Do agree .. The lights are very sensitive also come undone or lose ..... Light comes apart very easy .. Check the lights connection 1st.. Then replace if needed..if that fails then you other electrical issues.. Good luck!

If you have the timer that is supposed to ramp light up and down, it only works if you have light on full. If you have light set on any other mode it will flicker when ramping on and off. Hope this helps

Did you remove the plastic tab in the battery slot? If so, you may have bad batteries. Otherwise just push the button on the light module to choose the light pattern. Good luck!

Make sure that on the transmitter (thing that hangs out of one of the lights) that both are on the "on" position. I also would change the batteries in the transmitter as well as that created a problem for them both firing, for me. As for the model lights, you should be able to just turn the switch to that mode and they should turn on? Hope this helps.

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.

For some reason the connections shake loose in shipping inside the light. You could try making sure they're all connected properly. UNPLUG the light, remove the 4 screws and just wiggle all the connectors to make sure they're tight. Replace the cover and try it again. I did this on the 2nd one (same problem) and it fixed it! Good Luck!!!

It should come back on in whichever cycle you have it in. My light works that way. Neil

I also have two but in different locations. One of them buzzed so I changed the light switch and that seemed to have fixed it. So you might try installing a brand new light switch.

The wires inside the base were not properly grounded and were touching the metal. The problem occurs when the light is twisted into place. I re-grounded the wire and capped it off. Its worked perfectly since.

No and that is my issue with this switch now. It worked great with incandescent bulbs but when I switched the three (porch area) out to LED, it controls them but also randomly turns each of the three in the circuit on and off like some odd Halloween light show -- only happens when it is supposed to be off and nothing picking up from the remote sensor. I even tried mixing back one incandescent bulb in an attempt to trick the circuit but it did not work any better.It looks like it is pulsing power out here and there which the LEDs are sensitive enough and require so little current that it momentarily lights them up.Time to look for another product that supports the new lighting standard.

I can only echo other comments, no sounds when changing light modes. You might Try plugging it into a different electrical socket that is on a different circuit. This would rule out voltage problems I think. Good luck.
