Anyone else have this happen? I just got the new Radions in and was programming them on ecosmart live, had the light resting on my light rail, when I picked up the light to move it I noticed a burning smell and saw this on the optic - melted where it was touching the rail. Are they supposed to get hot enough to melt the lenses?

That's an expensive mistake. I've seen other similar threads. Sorry for the loss
 
Wow... have you contacted Ecotech directly?? If so what was the result??
 
You set it on something while running??? You might of been lucky and can get away with just replacing lens if an led didn't melt

Yes, the fixture shifted a few inches while I was tinkering with the initial programming, (which defaulted the fixture to 100% all channels while I adjusted the program) It was just the lens that melted, luckily it was not on anything flammable
