Ok, setup my 3 new Einsteins with my new CB this past weekend. All 3 lights are identified and most everything seems to be working as planned. All lights are set to Frequency 01 and each of the 3 lights has a unique channel, 01, 02 and 03. I have 3 distinct groups setup with group-01 using Channel 01 only, Group-02 using Channel 01 and 02 and Group-03 using Channel 01, 02 and 03. I decied to go through the metering tests for Group-03 using all 3 lights. I stood in front of the backdrop where the subject would be and pointed the dome on the CB at the camers. I switched to Channel 01 and flashed the meter and the Channel 01 light flashed with a reading. I then switched to channel 02 and flashed the meter and Channel 02 flashed with a meter reading, I then switched to Channel 03 and flashed the meter but for some reason, both Channel 02 and Channel 03 lights flashed? I then switched to Group-03 and flashed a meter reading and of course all 3 lights flashed and gave me a meter readong. BUT, each time I tried this test, whenever I switch to Channel 03 only, both Channel 02 AND Channel 03 lights flashed. Any ideas? Thanks...Keith

I would first check the slave eye settings of each light. If one is on, set it to off via the Commander (if set via the light, it will revert back).

thanks. I will try that this evening when I get back home.
