My 16 inch Photon V2+ does not turn off at 21:00 hour

CyberGuy · Jan 29, 2021

I just received my light 2 days ago. Anyway, in the manual mode (the person icon on the left bottom of remote), I set all channels to 0% at 21:00 hour so at 9 pm, the light should be completely off. However, the light is still on with the channel 3 and channel 4 still on. I rechecked the schedule and the remote indicates that all channels, including 3 and 4, are set to 0% at 22:00 hour.
I have to manually turn off the light with the remote or unplug the light in order for the light to be turn off.

What is wrong with the light and how do I fix this? Thanks.

Hi, try this to override the default program:

All you have to do once you finish programming and ensure the night time hours are zeroed out is:

1) Press menu, go to custom and scroll all the way to the hours.

2) Scroll through all 24 hours multiple times (you can do this quickly, you're not looking at the numbers just cycling every hour multiple times).

3) Press OK

4) Reset the clock by pressing and holding the up/down arrow keys at the same time simultaneously. If the time is already correct, change it by 1 hour then change it back before pressing OK.
