Below Lumider Lighting will assist you in identifying and solving common problems and solutions for LED point lights:

LED point lights Out of Control:

Phenomenon: The point source lights are off or partly on but without animated effects. Solutions:

(1) Check the controller—ensure the controller's switch is on and it is reading the card (normal reading involves alternating between lights on and off);

(2) Check the signal input direction of the LED point lights. Generally, the signal input involves 4 wires, with white and green for signal, and red and white for power;

(3) Examine wiring issues. The controller’s output port typically connects GND to white DAT to green wire;

(4) If correct, turn off the controller switch for about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.

Partial LED point lights Out of Control:

Phenomenon: If the animation effect is normal for the previous point source lights, then the following lights do not display animation effects. Solutions:

(1) If you determine that the IC (or input wire) of this LED point source light or the output wire of the previous point source light is damaged, replace this light or the previous one;

(2) If the programmed number of point source lights is insufficient, consult with the service personnel about the design quantity (for instance, if the test program is for 100 points, LED point lights beyond 100 may partially light up but without animated effects).

Disordered Animation:

Phenomenon: The scene moves, but irregularly or partially irregularly. Solution: Check if the lamp plugging matches the design wiring diagram. Adjust the plug connections according to the diagram, or re-enter the actual plug connection diagram into the computer to redo the program.

Screen Flicker:

Phenomenon: The animation is normal, but the screen flickers, or the lights at the front are normal while the lights at the back flicker. Solutions:

(1) Check if the distance between the controller and the first LED point source light exceeds 8 meters (if it exceeds 8 meters, an amplifier may need to be added between the controller and the LED point source light) or if there are issues with the signal wire quality, switch to a shielded Ethernet cable;

(2) Secondly, verify if the power supply meets the requirements (e.g., a 300W/5V power supply for 12mm full-color point source can support approximately 800 points).

Inconsistent Brightness:

Solution: Connect both ends of each group of point source lights to the power supply (it is recommended to use 1.5 square meters of pure copper national standard wire without shortening within 3 meters).

Some LED point lights Can't Display Certain Colors:

Solution: Replace the point source light if one of its colors fails.

Signal Issues with Some LED point lights After Rain:

Solution: Before installation, it's recommended to wrap the inlets and outlets of the LED point lights with insulating material to completely eliminate water interference signals.
