I had the same problem. Turns out that after programming you need to switch modes. Press and hold the cycle button (middle button). This will switch modes for you and you should hopefully find that it switches from pre programmed modes to your new finely tuned one. Hope that makes sense.

I emailed ecotech and they said the same thing, I just haven't had a chance to try this yet. Hopefully that's all it is.

We were out of town this weekend, I got home and noticed my radions are clicking and flashing. So I think something is off with the programming.

First issue, start program, plug in light, show it's connected but the other 2 aren't. So, refresh device list, it finds them good to go. Reset programming, lights start clicking again, and the 2 lights are now disconnected again.

Next issue, I disconnect the USB, unplug all 3 lights, plug back in and my left light will not turn on. So I unplug at the base, plug all back in. Lights on base all show green, but the LEDs stay off.

Restart program, plug in, it shows the lights are all connected, but I the left light will not come on.

Any ideas?

Sounds you got a lemon. Maybe check with Ecotech about getting them replaced?

Is the fan working on the one that won't light?

Fans are running on all 3. They are dusty, will pull them all down tomorrow and clean.

I've sent an email to ecotech as well.

Check the fan ans see if it is running. A few mths ago 1 of my lights was flashing, checked it out and the fan was not running. I had contacted Ecotech and they told me there has been quit a few issues with the fan stopping and causing the lights to flash. It needs to be replaced if that is the case... Contact the store you purchased from and also the distributor for that store. Ecotech will not replace it for you as it has to be replaced by the Cdn distributor. I had posted this issue a few months back Unser equip. , lights.

I know what you are going thru as I've been there... Good luck. :neutral:

I read through your thread. The fans on mine are still going but not as strong. Hopefully ecotech responds tomorrow.

If its any consolation I've had a radion issue this week as well. Turns out one of the power supplies just up and died on me. Didn't take long to diagnose this problem but its still frustrating as all hell. For the price of these lights I'm a bit disappointed. The p/s worked great for the few months I've had it, no warning at all that something was wrong and when I came home for lunch one day the radion was blinking on and off.

Thankfully Dave from Concept came to the rescue for me and is shipping me a replacement/loaner. I'm just glad that it was only one of the lights and not all three at the same time. Your situation sounds far more frustrating, sorry :(.

The title is so deceiving. I thought you were about to throw out the radions and I was planning to wait outside and grab them :redface::lol::mrgreen:

Sorry to hijack the thread :redface:
