Current USA Orbit LED Isuue

BaileyB · Mar 11, 2019

So i got the Current USA Orbit IC LED light and it has a ON/OFF time buttons on the controller and i programmed them in, and the lights don't turn on, or off by themselves. At night they will go to full blue and stay like that all night until the morning and go back to white. Are they suppose to turn on and off automatically with that feature or what is it for.. Pretty sure i got it programmed right when i click the ON TIME button it shows the time i programed, same with the OFF TIME button. If anyone has this light and could help answer my question that would be greatly appreciated lol. Thanks guys!

After you program, did you press the button that says "resume"?

Great lights, great company, great support. But they are a bit underpowered and the control interface takes some getting used to.

Yeah i made sure to press resume, a little clock icon is on the interface, but doesn't turn off when scheduled or on when scheduled either.. So it is suppose to turn on and off automatically to when you program it?

You may want to contact Current. May be a defective controller. I find their support staff to be great! Write them and they always get back to you within a day. In the mean time, you may have to manually operate the light. How old is it? Is it under warranty?

I ordered a Current USA Pro, and a 300w Mars Aqua, so I could try them both side-by-side and decide if the added features of the Current USA were something I couldn't live without..... it was D.O.A. so I never ordered another and stuck with my cheapo Chinese light.

I have the same problem and on and off are not working when I check in the morning, I contacted current and replaced my loop, but still not working. now I emailed them again and I don't know how it works now, is there anything you do or they do in order your light to be fully functioning?
