Why in storm mode does it get brighter? can that be reprogrammed I would like a more realistic storm without the yellow color. It should go dark and light bright white as it does not get brighter and flash....

In the software it looks like you can custom program the storm anyway you would like, In the posted YouTube video I simply (read: lazy) used the factory imbedded storm program ...when I have more time I'll program my own storm that is less bright, maybe at 5% of 18k ish.

Try turning on just your deep blues and slowly increase your reds till you get a "purplelish" color.

One other thing that I have noticed and was wondering if its happening to anyone else, is the feed mode. If you have not done so already and you have some vortechs, try utilizing the feed mode option on the lights. My two MP40s go into feed mode when I press the keys on the radion's, but when I come out of feed mode(via radion), the MP40w light stays a constant white and increases in flow, but I have to manually exit the feed mode on the vortech unit to go back into the green constant flow setting
