Banner Sensors & Leds Lights - 2 Diff Q's

First of all what size breaker do we put on the banner sensor when hooking it up directly. Second, one of the four led lights while blinking red has the blue light on steady, but not bright. Also when we change team number to tell it blue it just has the steady blue light. Any Suggestions?

1. All power comes from circuit breakers.
2. I would contact Innovation FIRST.

I believe the banner sensors use 20amp breakers.

It's not like you're going to trip a 20 A breaker with the sensor anyway unless you short the wires.

But yeah go with 20A.

One of our lights exhibits similar behavior when it's connected to the RC. We're assuming that the light has a manufacturing defect, and plan to order a replacement from Innovation First (I believe they cost $12.50 apiece).
