Just received my Einsteins and cyber commander yesterday and mostly have it figured out. I did a search on this but did not find an answer...

I read in the manual that when you turn the lights off at the strobe, they are on standby, and if you touch anything on the CC, they all wake up again and turn back on. So my simple question is, can you turn them all back off using the CC, or do you have to go back to each strobe and manually turn them off individually?

Also, I like the feature, but it seems like a potential safety issue if the lights can come back on by inadvertently hitting a button on the cc. After setting up all my lights, I shut them down. I went to the basement family room with the cc and manual and was checking through some of the menus. Forgot about the wake up feature, came upstairs a couple hours later and of course, all the lights had been running with modeling lights on the whole time. Probably not a big deal, as I assume if the heat level gets too high, they will shut themselves down. And I suppose you just unplug them if worried about it.

In the Cyber Commander SETUP>LIGHT SETTINGS> POWER option, you can set them between ON and STANDBY. If you wish, you can save a set up that has them all in STANDBY, and open that saved setting to turn them off. Reopening a different saved set up will turn them off. If if set to STANDBY in the CC, we still recommend removing the CSXCV or removing AC power (via the power cord, powerstrip, or breaker) if the lights will be unattended.

Great info, I'll try the second saved setting with them off. Thank you!
