How do I program the DIY setting? Love the lights, but would like to use this function.

Mine quit after one use so I sent it back for a refund. I had no luck with mine...sorry!

I just experimented with pushing the various buttons on the remote. I am not sure if it is possible to automatically set it to move through all the settings on its own.

It comes with directions but I misplaced them so this is what I remember. It turns itself off after an hour at full bright. It takes 30 minutes to get full bright. I leave the lamp switch on all the time and it does its thing every day. Same schedule every day. If you want to sleep late on the weekend you can unplug it and later plug it in 8hours before you want to wake up. Or they have a programable one that cost more (~10$). They have a informative website. I don't recall the address.

Sorry i set my timer to run during the night and i have never checked to see it it is functing correctley. Instructions were shipped with the device and it was simple to set ( I think.) I will try to check it this up an comming week end. Then I will get back to you later on this site if you don't already have the solution.

I have one of these. I see no way to program the lights beyond setting the color from the remote. The remote has buttons for on/off, brighter/dimmer, 16 different colors, flash, strobe, fade, and smooth. I don't know what the flash, strobe, fade, or smooth buttons do. The light can only be controlled by the included infrared remote. There is no other control. One of the settings allows it to fade between different colors automatically. It's not really a stage light, but it does put out colored light.

Thanks..I kept playing with it, and it finally worked just like you said (all the top lights lit--low, medium, high). I set it for 40 min...it worked great. I loved it. Thanks

You don't have to program anything. You just screw the light bulb in and then the remote will auto nautically work. I think it's an awesome light.

There are settings inside the actual lights; make sure they are activated. (Right behind batteries)

The remote is preset. You click on the color or fade that you want and it stays on that setting. There is know way to program anything.

The unit I bought has little pin-like lever switches around the dial. Slide them in or out for on or off. I they are settable in 15 minute intervals - I am very happy with the unit I bought to control lights for starting flower seeds earlier this year.

Emerald is right on. You know exactly what function you are performing by the indicator lights. They have kept it simple while still giving you options. If you decide you need to change the temp, push one button and done. Change time? Up or down to desired temp without having to start over or reset anything. Simple, simple, simple :-)

Don - My bad. Ignore 1st answer I gave. I had it confused with another model. The 3 settings are kind of tricky on this light. You twist it to make it come on. That gives you one brightness level. Next, twist it off and twist it back on again. The 2nd time it comes on it will be at a different level. Repeat those steps a 3rd time and you get the 3rd brightness level setting. I think it also remembers the last setting you used before turning it off so next time you use your light it will be preprogrammed to that level. What I do if I am looking for a particular level is to turn it on and off (twist it on and off) rapidly until it achieves the level I want. Hope that helps.

i believe it will be trial and error as to your programming. i have first set go on at 7 and off at 10. 2nd set comes on at 3 and off at 9:30 and nite lites come on at 9:30-12

It has to be switched on manually. Only one button that can be set to off/day/night.It cannot be set on timer mode to change the type of lighting.

I sat at my desk in the house and programed it. I have trouble seeing it where it is outside in the pump house. I can then just change the duration times as I need (still a bit hard to see). if it helps the time that first displays is always midnight

You can custom program the remote and what each button does. For instance, I programmed the far left for the light (on/off), didn't program the middle button, and the far right one I programmed for the garage door (open/close). You can use this setup or use separate buttons for door open/close.

First, choose one of the pre-programmed colors that is close to the color you want, and then press the button labelled RGB. The light should respond be briefly altering its color and then shifting back. Next, choose which color you would like to increase or decrease (red, green, or blue) and press the button labeled R, G, or B. Afterward, alter that color by pressing the rightmost key marked with a sunburst to increase that color, and the leftmost sunburst key to decrease that color. It surprised me that the bulb came without adequate instructions, but once I found out how to do it, I began to enjoy it greatly. Have fun!

You have two options for turning on the light manually. You can hit the "on" button on the upper right hand corner (there's also an "off" button below it). This does not impact the programming. And I've had people not familiar with the item turn on the light with no issue. The other way is to open up the cover and push aside the mechanism that flips the light switch. This doesn't impact the programming either but with the light switch not engaged with the mechanism, the light won't turn on or off automatically. Hope this helps!
