Hey everyone! I have a set of 3 Einstein 640 units and I have noticed an unusual problem with one of them. I wanted to get some other users' thoughts on this before I call up PCB, just in case I am forgetting to change some setting.

So I have my 3 lights set to operate the modeling lamps at 100% power. I have a CyberCommander and 3 CSXCV units to control the lights. Whenever I make an adjustment to any of the 3 lights the modeling lamp on 1 of my units immediately turns off. I have to go over and turn it back on, and it has the modeling lamp featured disabled when I boot it back up. If I shoot with the modeling lamp kept turned off it works fine, but the moment I have it turned on and make a change to one of the lights via CyberCommand off it goes again.

Does anyone have any ideas on what could be causing this? Could it be a misconfigured setting, or just a flaw in my single unit?

Check your group/individual light settings in the cyber commander. It sounds like your studio profile is saved with the modeling light off on that unit.

I didn't even know that you could control the modeling lamp on its own from the CyberCommander. I think its time I better acquaint myself with the CyberCommander user manual.
