Rich, thank you for your support. I may just need your help down the road... Isn't there gonna be a swap on the island in nov? If so expecting you and Linda, Chris, Peter and the gang over and you're welcome crash at my place! Since I am no longer dosing vodka, we can put that to good use then!

Angry Radion light program problem update...

Rob of Ecotech and went over the lights and software again this morning. It looks like we've finally learned why the lights were not running with the light programs...

Rob had me to ungroup all the lights and set up as three separate lights however running the same light program. By doing this we can see which lights are in sync with the software and which one is not. Rob suspects that the one that isn't may have a programming error and will required to be replace.

Well, when I got home this evening from the office I noticed that the original lights I have are in sync with the light program while the replacement light received from the distributor is not. Man, do I have just the worst luck in aug! I'll wait until tomorrow morning and review with Rob from Ecotech before calling Martin on this...

Just got off the phone with Rob at Ecotech... We've concluded that it is the internal clock of the replacement light and needs to be returned.

Here is my next ordeal... Dealing with the distributor again... hope the outcome will be better this time around...

Round 3.....fight! just kidding, I hope at the very least he can offer you expedited service for all your trouble or maybe even a gift card to the keg or something just for all your troubles. I know if Martin was shipping it out you will for sure get a chocolate bar.

Great News today... I should be getting the replacement light for my replacement light soon. Aqua Digital quickly responded and this time has sent me (by email) of the tracking # for the new lights.

Once received I will change all the Radion lens (the TIR lens kits are sitting on the shelf at the moment)!

Certainly a good start for Sept after a crappy Aug..
