radions ramping down differently at night

I have three Radion Pros, first generation, running on one schedule. The third, middle light was purchased about one year after the first two (if that matters). They are all on the same schedule and ramp down at night. However, the middle light ramps down differently than the other two. While the older outside lights are still on with all colors, the middle light is dimmer with just blues for a period before it turns off. The middle then turns off completely while the outside lights stay on. Finally, the outside lights turn off (but don't appear to go to all blue before doing so).

If they ramped down in the same fashion but at different times, I would suspect that whatever internal clock the lights might have in not synchronized. However, the also ramp down differently.

Thoughts? Any help would be appreciated. It's not a huge deal but mildly annoying. It also makes me wonder whether they are really running the same during the day when they appear to be the same. Thanks.

Matt

Have you calibrated each of the lights?

Just checked. The outside lights come up to all colors first in the morning. I don't specifically remember if I calibrated the new light (which may be my problem). I'll try that. Thanks.

All right. I calibrated all of the lights. We'll see if that fixes the problems. For some reason, it did not seem as if the whites went all of the way off on a couple of the lights while calibrating.

Matt,

When calibrating, you will want to continue clicking "Yes" until the color channel goes completely out. That said, we recommend doing a calibration in a dark room for best results.
