• Test all the bulbs and LEDs precisely. Notice any flickers, fades and scratches on the glasses.
• Make sure the connections are secure and reliable. Check for the connection compatibility of devices and wires.
• Check all of the moving parts of the lighting. Notice the adaptability and motion of the lights carefully.

Solutions to Troubleshoot Problems

After running a rigorous test along with the other preparations, here’s a quick solution to the possible errors and troubles. 

Flickering Lights

If the disco lights are lighting with a strange pattern, then you need to check out the plugs, loose connections, and broken wirings. If you have used LED strips, the flicker may have occurred due to inadequate power supply or insecure connections. Connect the compatible power stream and repair the faulty connections.

Unresponsive Devices

If the testing indicated mildly or completely unresponsive devices, then check if the plugs are inserted correctly(tighten, loosen, activate inactive supplies). See if the circuit breaker and fuse box are functioning properly to repair any fused/torn parts of the circuit. If you have used the DMX controller, make sure that you have assigned the right lighting channel.

Colour Issues

Hence, to check if the lights are displaying the maximum brightness they are designed to glow. Otherwise, replace them with new ones or adjust the LED’s voltage supply.

Backup Plans

Even after checking and testing all the essential elements, still there can be unpredictable problems that can ruin the party atmosphere. It is always advised to have backup plans when planning a party or special event. Keep spare bulbs, cables, and even a spare fixture or two on hand, just in case anything happens.

Conclusion
