Try switching to a non custom mode before turning it off.
That should be something you can disable.

It only happens on the custom setting so it has something to do with the next step in the programing that causes them to come bach on. I found the issue by mistake. If I want the lights to stay off I have to change them to another profile and then turn them off.

Yes, my 120 does this also. but it hasn't been a big deal since I leave mine on custom now.

The custom setting has to be able to power the light back on automatically or that profile would not work. Once they turned off the first time they would never come back on.
If the time is set and you have the profile set up the way you want it then it should only come on during the times you want them on.
Do you mean they come on during a period when you have them set to be off?

What happens with mine is if I am in custom mode, and I want to just turn the lights off and I hit the power button on the remote, the lights turn off, but they turn on again when the next custom time change occurs. I wanted them off during my tank cycle, but the lights kept coming back on. I had to switch out of custom mode, turn the lights off, then they would stay off.

I noticed something else interesting. Like other have observed if I am in custom mode and I turn the power off it comes back on at the next step time. Then when my lighting cycle conclude and the three channels are all set to 0, the display turns off. Normally when the cycle finishes the display stays on even if all the channels are set to 0.

I just got the dm155e . What is the recommended height to hang it. I am using 2 to cover 40x36x22 tank . Ideas?

This isn't a big deal, just pick a mode that isn't custom and turn it off from there. Once you are ready to run your lights, turn it on and hit custom again. It makes sense to me why they come back on in custom, that what the program says to do.
Yeah now I'm understanding & this makes total sense. Just run in Manual mode if you want on/off controllability.

I'll accept that challenge! LOL. I have 150 with three EG 2010s over it.
I went back through my build thread to see exactly when I got my EG 2010s. It was October 23, 2013. I don't have a shot of the first day, but to give an idea of growth here are the shots I do have.

These last two were taken with just two of the three units in place so the corals aren't quite as full as they normally are.

I have moved some stuff around, given away/traded cabbage, duncans, gsp, pocillopora and zoas and had snails dislodge frags causing corals to be stung, etc. If I didn't have so many things that sting each other there is no telling how much growth I would have.
Overall, I think the growth is great and would definitely purchase "Chinese LEDs" again.

I am up to 55 white and 70 blue at max with my lumentek 240 with a gradual progression and recession throughout the day . The color of the light is amazing, and I love the programmability. I am seeing corals staying pretty stable, but not a lot of growth thus far. I have only had my lights for 3 weeks. One of my condys has turned almost completely brown from an all white with purple tips. I don't know if it is the light, or something else. Anyone else with any experience with their lumenteks yet?!

What kind of lights did you have before Lux? Might have overdone it 50/70 is a high starting point if your tanks not used to it. I started off at 30/50 and am seeing positive results
