The red lights don't cast a very smooth light (i.e. inconsistent coverage, dark rings, etc.). Is this normal, or did I get a lemon? Thanks!

That's the way mine is as well. I found that at close distances you get the dark rings but at further away the light is more even.

I am also having this problem with the busy light signal. I've read other posts and it quite a few people have mentioned this issue. I've check and tested some of the solutions and:1. It's not the battery2. it's not the speed of the card (tried 3 diff. ones high speed)3. it's not the iso settingsI think its time to send it back to canon and have them evaluate.

Mine does not flicker when either raising or lowering the light level on any setting. Based on this limited data I would conclude that flickering is not normal. LOL, I say that because given a choice between not flickering or flickering, NOT flickering seems to be more reassuring (normal)! Have you contacted the manufacturer?

Not trying to sound like a smart-ass but did you plug it in all the way? I had that issue one night while trying to get pix of the northern lights. After coming inside and seeing it in good light, I pushed it in further and problem was fixed. Pat's answer is great advice.

I have not experienced the dimming problem they described. I have noticed that some of the colors are not as intense, red specifically. Other than that I run it for hours at a time and have no problems.

"Whoa!" The Auto darkening mechanism should be in working order prior to purchase. Mine seems to be working just fine. Itʻll be a good idea / note: to customer service. Thanks for the heads-up just the same.

Call Amazon, I had the same problem with two of the four lamps that I have ordered over the past few months. I e They were great and replace the two, and I asked for a discount on the other two and kept them just for nite light, and they still are only warm. I am happy with amazons customer service , the two that they replaced are still not as warm as the first one I bought, so it must be just the luck of the draw. they look great, and they do seem to help with odors. in my mind I feel that they are doing me some good, so what else matters. Good luck with your lamps.

I am having the same problem. I bought two strands at the same time. One has started to intermittently flicker when in the non-blinking mode and the other is fine. I was wondering about exchanging as well.

This has never happened to mine. Sounds like a bad light. I personally think they are great!

I would contact lux customer service and ask. If you read my review, mine kept reading "LLL" and after contacting the company I found out it was bad. Their customer service was excellent when I contacted them. Give it a try.

Same problem. I just opened the unit and so far I love it, but on night vision there is no constant image. It keeps "blinking" from night vision image to black, back and forth. Is this normal? I was expecting uninterrupted image in night vision as when there is light on the room. By the way, when I turn lights on, the blinking desapears. Can anyone help us with this?

If you know what you are looking for, you can see the red, but I have had numerous people tell me that the lights are "burnt out" or not working. They didn't know that they were IR lights.

Hey tuna, I placed a new set of batteries in, placed it on bright setting and left it on...I had to leave 2.5 hours later and I did not detect any significant degrading in light quality. I've used it at 2 hour gigs with the same results. Hope this helps.

If you charged the charger first, it seems abnormal. I test it just before, it supposed to get lightening.

I am sorry that I can not be of help, I have not noticed the flickering with mine in my setup. As others have suggested it may be defective and you may want to return it or exchange it.

We got two that had different lights colors. They sent us a new light component. That fixed the light problem but the plastic shells were different. They sent us two new ones free of charge. We now have three that match. They were super nice and understanding. Send a photo, you will probably get two more. God luck.

I have the same problem . I think it's just defective. Perhaps it's the little motor itself. Unfortunately I waited too long to send it back. The night sky isn't sharp enough or bright enough. If I were you I would send it back if you still can.
