percy Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 I replaced two lamps bulbs with the 75W equivalent Cree bulbs. After about 10 minutes both lights came on. I checked ISY994 and is showed the lights as off. I turned the lights off and about 10 minutes later they both came back on. I replaced one light with a regular bulbs and a few minutes later the Cree LED turned back on. I have not had time to do more research by I plan to this week. I wanted to know if anyone else has had this experience.
Xathros Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 What is the load controlling device for these bulbs? -Xathros
Brian H Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 Some Insteon Modules have Local Control Sensing in them. It is possible the electronics in the Cree bulb is triggering it. Though most times a incandescent bulb in the mix. Calms things down. What model Insteon module is controlling the Cree bulbs? If known what revision hardware is on the modules white sticker?
apostolakisl Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 Again, what switch exactly is controlling the Cree load? And is that switch locally indicating that the light is on after it turns on by itself? What if you use ISY to query the switch after a spontaneous on event, does ISY then show it is on? FYI, I have at least a dozen of the Cree 60 watt bulbs and maybe 50 of the Cree CR6 can lights and have not experienced anything like this.
percy Posted April 8, 2014 Author Posted April 8, 2014 Both lights where on LampLinc 2456D2 modules. I just switched one out with a new dual band LampLinc to see if the light turns on. I will post my results.

Brian H Posted April 8, 2014 Posted April 8, 2014 The older v1.? 2456D3 LampLincs defaulted to Local Control On and the only way to disable it was add an X10 address with the Off command. The 4.? ones defaulted to Local Control Off and set button sequences could enable it.
