      Several factors could cause this issue: * A bad data link connection: Check the data link connections and cables. * Reversed DMX signal polarity: Swap pins 2 and 3. * DMX signal reflection: Insert a termination plug in the last light on the link. * Incorrect addressing of fixtures: Check the addresses. * Fixtures not turned on: Ensure all fixtures are powered on.

    Why is there no light from some or all Martin Freekie fixtures?

      If there is no light coming from some or all of your fixtures, the scenes may not contain ‘Lamp On’ instructions for fixtures with remote lamp on/off. To resolve this, make sure the “Lamp On” command is saved in at least one scene.
