Owners of the round model of this light report strobe effects from lights. Any similar problems with this model?

Not at all. I have both the 11 in and the 14 in models and neither have shown any strobe effect. (But I have only had them for 1 month or less).

I haven't had any problems with this model; I have 6 of them connected in parallel in a very large area. It works fine, provides lots of light, is really nice and is dimmable. Perhaps the only "problem" is that after a certain low dimmer threshold point some of them would go off and sometimes on. Maybe this is the mentioned strobe effect .....?

Mine work great!! They make our kitchen so much brighter. I would give them an A+

We have not seen any strobe affects from these lights. We have them lighting our stairs in an 11 story building.

LED lights should't strobe, they give a steady light. Returned mine for lack of enough light, but it did not strobe at all when I tested it

Mine is perfectly round and crisp at all brightnesses. Perhaps you do have a dud.

I have some self-contained motion sensing lights and one of them started strobing. I had to fiddle with the adjustments on the unit. It has sensitivity, shade/sun and a couple of other adjustments. If your motion activated light has adjustments like this try changing the settings. I think the light goes on then the sensor thinks it is daylight and turns the light off then it repeats. You may also have to put a shield between the light and the sensor.

3 that I noticed so far. I have not changed the patten since I picked the mode I liked. I have 2 lights that are wired together. A have set both lights to the same pattern. They are great lights for the price.

First, this light is not designed to strobe. It is only on or off mode. If it is in a strobe mode then you might have internal contacts that are not seating correctly or some other physical issue with this light. I do know that some of these have tail cap click issues where they have to be screwed in really tight or the clicker will not turn on the light. Of course you can always remove the battery too. I have three of these and so far all three have functioned fine. I have bought 2 others as gifts and one had an issue of the clicker not turning on the light. Making sure it was as tight as possible stopped that issue. And, you could return it to have it replaced to. Good luck!

I've had multiiple problems with this model. First I had the "white dot" problem. At first a few white dots show on the screen. Then every day there are more and more until the screen is a star field. The DLP chip had to be replaced to fix this. Then I had the problem you're describing. It wasn't the LED which lasts about 10 years (unlike the non-LED models which have a bulb that needs to be replaced every 3 years). It was either the motherboard or DMD board. I forget which, but I ended up paying $600 to have it fixed. It was out of warranty.

im not sure why you are having that problem. I didnt have any problem with this product. Contact the Hitlight customer service directly, they are excellent about answering questions and getting back to your email!

Most of these answers are blatantly wrong. There are three main "modes."1. Regular "on"2. dimmed "on"3. Strobe/Flashing.Turning it on/off quickly should get these effects.

I haven't had any problem's. It's not as bright but perfect for my living room.It gives a romantic feeling in my living room. I have very high ceiling but small living room.

I'm having a similar problem. I've noticed it most in low light, when the subject moves. I don't think I've experienced it much outdoors in bright light. I've not taken the time to research it yet. I'd say I've been somewhat disappointed in the camera.

I think I found an answer to the issue. The problem I had is that I changed the settings immediately to "Dynamic," which raises the brightness significantly, and is only supposed to be used in a very bright room. When I put the settings back to normal everything looks great and the side light issues disappear. I guess I just need to listen to the suggestions of what the different picture modes are for.

I had no problem with mine. It has been up for a long time, and it's been shining brightly ever since. Looks like you might have gotten a bad one.
