I had a problem with energy saver bulbs messing up my AW sensors. Try a normal light bulb in a lamp close to your starting track

Try putting some sort of light closer to the eyes, and shining directly on them. A lot of guys in the past used the 'cheap' clamp lights that used household bulbs and had the big metal 'awning' (big round circle..lol) around the bulb. Personally I would think this might cause a fire hazard, since those things get HOT! Used to use those to dry paint on my diecasts when I customized them, so I know how hot they can get!  I've been thinking alot about those 'multiple led light' type setups. Those can be found at Walmart, or any hardware store (as well as the other clamp lights). Actually, my track worked right away when I tried it after I bought it, but a lot of guys have had the probs you are having. Altho I still don't have my track up and working yet..lol...so I don't know the 'best' lights to use as of right now. Definitely tho, try some type of more pinpointed light source that shines directly on the eyes on the track. Hopefully, that should help with your problem.  Ron (Bondo)  |

I tried the LED lights and also compact Fluorescent and neither of them would activate the light sensors on my AW track so I went to just regular light bulbs in a floor lamp. I bought 2 floor lamps for $40.00.

Should have mentioned the energy saver bulbs we have here are more like a Fluorescent bulb.
