Hey guy/gals... I have 2 of the Chinese 165w wifi black boxes... " I love them".
Seem to have a issues with keeping them in sync.. I can set the time on both lights... they work perfect for a week or two.. then they slowly start get out of sync...with in 3 weeks.. they will be 30 seconds off of each other..I know 30 seconds is not bad..but OSD kicks in..and I have to reset time on the units..anyone else have a problem with these type of lights not staying in sync?
these are the lights

Leave them on, and plug them into a wall outlet timer instead.
