| I finally have my lights up and going after 2 years of having this program, the problem that I am having is that the lights are not as bright as they should be. How do I turn up the intensity on the lights? A step by step would be great, if possible. Also, if I upgrade to the 1.04[ I am running 1.0 right now], will I lose my sequences that I have created already? Many thanks in advance, John. |

The max burn setting is within D-Light's Harware Utility. I don't have it installed here, but I think it's on the general tab. ------------- Fine. You're so smart you rig up the lights. http://www.frappr.com/dlight - D-Light users Unite!

By default the Intensity event should be 100%. To adjust it, right-click on the Intensity tool and adjust the slider accordingly. 100% should be the same as plugging in your lights directly to the wall - confirm that these intensities are different first. Then confirm that the intensities are set to 100% in your sequence. Last, it could be your hardware - use your hardware utility (do you have D-Light or LOR?) and turn the lights on. If they don't come full on then (compared to a direct line to the wall), I would say you have an issue with your board. I don't believe that any file formats have changed since 1.0 - meaning that you should be able to go to to 1.0.41. Wait for someone else to chime in, but I'm pretty sure you'll be ok. As always - take the time now to make a backup of your sequences and audio. :) ------------- http://www.deweycooter.com/wiki/index.php/Aurora - Aurora Lights Wiki http://www.aurorashow.com/">

I do believe the upgrade to 1.0.32 last season required.....or was recommended that you open the file in 1.0.32 and save it. I would save them in the upgraded version just to be safe. Keep a backup copy of your current version sequences some place else. ------------- Chris www.lightsonsixth.com |

| Ok, the intensity is on 100%, the waveform was at miderange, so I turned it up, but it didnt change even after I saved it. So how do I go to the untility hardward for d-lite the check the setting there, again a step by step would be great. I did have a problem with 4 channels, but the forum told me that I didnt have enough lights on those channels, wow what a surprise that was. All the channels work perfect, just need the display to be 100% brightness, thanks in advance again, John |
