All Power Supplies are Plugged In
The Controller and each of the lights run on their own power supply. All power supplies must be plugged in for all the components to be powered on. Ensure that the power supplies are also plugged into a working wall outlet.
Correct Cable Configuration
The unit link cable should connect from Port 1 or Port 2 of the controller to the INPUT of your light. If you are using multiple lights daisy-chained together, ensure that the controller is linked to the first light of the series. Ensure that all cables are plugged in snugly within the ports.
My lights do not respond to my settings.
Make sure that you have saved your settings in Program Mode. Then, input the desired program for the correct port in Port Settings (Step 5 in Quick Start Guide).
I want my lights to turn off after midnight.
Treat the timeline as if everything starts at midnight and ends at 11:59pm. So, for all time points after midnight, use the first few time points. For example, if you wanted your light to turn on at 6pm and shut off at 2am, you would use the following settings:
Timepoint 1: 2am, Intensity: 0%
Timepoint 2: 6pm, Intensity: 5%
Timepoint 3: 7pm, Intensity: 40%
Timepoint 4: 10pm, Intensity: 80%

Timepoint 6: 11:59pm, Intensity: 40%
