    Posted: 30 Nov 2009 at 8:14am
I finally have my lights up and going after 2 years of having this program, the problem that I am having is that the lights are not as bright as they should be. How do I turn up the intensity on the lights? A  step by step would be great, if possible. Also, if I upgrade to the 1.04[ I am running 1.0 right now], will I lose my sequences that I have created already? Many thanks in advance, John.

The max burn setting is within D-Light's Harware Utility. I don't have it installed here, but I think it's on the general tab.
Fine. You're so smart you rig up the lights.

By default the Intensity event should be 100%.  To adjust it, right-click on the Intensity tool and adjust the slider accordingly. 

100% should be the same as plugging in your lights directly to the wall - confirm that these intensities are different first.  Then confirm that the intensities are set to 100% in your sequence. 

Last, it could be your hardware - use your hardware utility (do you have D-Light or LOR?) and turn the lights on.  If they don't come full on then (compared to a direct line to the wall), I would say you have an issue with your board.

I don't believe that any file formats have changed since 1.0 - meaning that you should be able to go to to 1.0.41.  Wait for someone else to chime in, but I'm pretty sure you'll be ok.

As always - take the time now to make a backup of your sequences and audio.  :)

I do believe the upgrade to 1.0.32 last season required.....or was recommended that you open the file in 1.0.32 and save it.    I would save them in the upgraded version just to be safe.  Keep a backup copy of your current version sequences some place else.

Ok, the intensity is on 100%, the waveform was at miderange, so I turned it up, but it didnt change even after I saved it. So how do I go to the untility hardward for d-lite the check the setting there, again a step by step would be great. I did have a problem with 4 channels, but the forum told me that I didnt have enough lights on those channels, wow what a surprise that was. All the channels work perfect, just need the display to be 100% brightness, thanks in advance again, John

D-Light HW Utility - you need to register first

1. connect your adapter
2. start the utility
3. select the com port
4. click ON - all channels should come on

This utility can be used to test lights, discover address numbers and set addresses.
