For some reason anything I hook to this unit tends to slowly flash on then off. Does it with dimmer packs, rgb dome, parcans etc. any ideas.

I will setting mine up with a dimmer pack for the first time in a couple days. What software are you using? Im running QLS on one system and Freestyler on another.

I had a similar problem but I thought it was the LED unit that I was using it with. I don't have any other equipment to test it on. I used the command line interface to issue DMX commands and found that if I sent the same one a few times it would eventually take. It was not consistent and I suspect a timing issue that could be corrected in the internal microcontroller. They are programmable so I was going to tweak the settings and try again. The LED unit I purchased is not powerful enough for my application so I never got around to it. It was an older/compatible model related to uDMX units.

Is the software you are using set up properly? Is the software you are using compatible with this device? Is the software configured to use brand/type of device?

Mine is starting to malfunction; the LED light is not responding correctly, even after I reset the SMC. When it works, though, it works great. It just seems that even the slightest motion will cause it to stop.

Make sure everything is on plug and unplug it. That key combination at the same time shifts the colors and works fine on mine.

I tried the dimmer with 2 ceiling lights with Cree soft white TW series. No buzzing, BUT when turning on the lights, they flicker once, and then don't always come on again. After flipping the switch a couple of times, they work correctly -- until they've been turned off for a few minutes. Then the probably occurs again, but only once. I've confirmed that incandescents work just fine, so it's not the electrical wiring.I have 60w Cree TW bulbs with an older Lutron dimmer that's designed for incandescents, and that combination doesn't have the same problem. The lights just don't fade in as well, because the older dimmer isn't designed to start with so little power, I guess. They fade out just fine though.

Are you running it through a lighting board? We run ours through a lighting board which allows us to control the settings. On its own it is very sensitive. I hope this was helpful.

hmmm. I guess I would start with making sure the channels are matching the sliders. Are those the only lights you have connected to your controller or do you have others?

If you turn the RGB dials an no other colors will show, you might. You can always RMA it and try another one. So far I've had no issues.

Mine do fine until you get to very low levels. Also seems to be sensitive to how quickly you move the dimmer- slower is better for avoiding a flicker.

Mine lights or flashes when motion is detected. It does not stay on steady. This is a good replacement because unlike some others it works with any incandesant bulbs and it works great on a dimmer switch. With others, you cannot use a dimmer or energy efficient bulbs.

The skin tone flashing and auto dimming are two seperate things. My set had auto dim issues (screen going nearly black) and the first update took care of it. I still have the flashing issue, sometimes severe, and the updates do not fix it. Go to avsforum and search it, it's a huge issue with these sets. Type in "red flashing".

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

Well, you are lucky. Mine flicker on and off, or alternate on and off. I haven't found a solution on Google. Since the lights are fed through the same line yet behave independently, I assume it's not a line or power source issue. I'm guessing the LED light modules are simply defective. I'm going to disconnect them. Coming on and off is simply annoying! I didn't buy it for the lights, but it's annoying that they haven't addressed the problem or recalled it.

First off, I've only had the unit for a few days... The only setting I've tweaked is the back-light in 'Standard Picture' mode. I reduced it from the default of 60 down to 50, and it seemed to remove any distracting blooming or flash-lighting effects, of which it is only very slight in the first place, and really only noticeable if your room is dark, and the screen is black.

I was able to play with the Advanced Settings in service menu, back light menu. The default is to bright, just play with it and it should correct some of the color issues,

I received mine today (2/7/14), plugged it in and it worked fine. Turned the dimmer switch off and it never turned back on again. So... apparently it is still an issue.

Sounds like you need an RGB controller. Take a look around amazon to see what works for you. Something like this eTopxizu 44Key IR Remote Controller for 5050 3528 RGB LED Light Strip

What a great question. I never noticed the issue until you brought it up. All my keys units light up well and evenly except the 2,5,8, and 9 keys, which are still visible in a darkened room, but clearly much dimmer. Thanks for bringing this up.
