Synchronization
You can synchronize up to six total approved lights.
If you will be synchronizing your light with any of our products, please note the
following:
• All units that are to be synchronized MUST have the same Pattern Type.
• To check pattern compatibility with other products, review the Pattern List for
each product, noting the Pattern Type. Certain patterns are compatible with some lights,
but not compatible with others.
• Programmable Flash Patterns can vary between our different lights, but Pattern Types F,
G, H, I, & J are fully compatible patterns with ALL of our other products.
• Program the Pattern(s) for each light PRIOR TO connecting the synchronization
wires together.
• All Synchronized Units must be switched ON/OFF by the same power switch.
