Light

Jeff has it correct.

If you are having light problems here are some answers:

Light rotating - no light... Get a new bulb from me at the competition.

Light on 100% ....... you have it wired wrong.

Light on, no rotation.... bad motor or something is (screw) is jamming the mechanism.

Check:

PWM wire for correct color match-up, it is marked on the controller, look close.

Check for bent pins on controller.

Last 2 possibilitys if light is always on and the wiring is correct:

.... You messed with the program and screwed it up.

.... You have a bad controller.
