donkpow Posted March 30, 2022 Share #1 Posted March 30, 2022 Standard LED bulbs can interfere with garage door opener remote control. This was not known to me until this very day. I took advantage of this new found knowledge and made a title in all caps. Not bold, though. That would be over the top. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it the remote operation impacted or interference with the 'anti-crush them with the closing door' sensor? I have issues if the sun is shining on my ACTWtCD receiving sensor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to build blinders for mine out of L brackets and some downspout adapters. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will get pics when I get home. Might try going with a smaller diameter pvc instead of the downspout adapter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donkpow Posted March 30, 2022 Author Share #7 Posted March 30, 2022 No, uh, pretty sure. I'll be testing over the next few days to confirm. Let's say you let the door down but you want to stop it short so that the cats can run in and out while you are working in the yard. This hasn't been working right with the new opener. This is what I think is happening. When you command the door to close, the built in light illuminates. Then you place an additional command while the door is moving with the light illuminated. No bueno, the door keeps going. Take the bulb out and repeat the operation, viola, Bob's your uncle. And I wish that jsharr fellow would stop trying to jack my thread. It's a PSA, not a sandbox.
