Pentair Pentair IntelliBrite 5G LED Pool/Spa Light NO SYNC Error Fix: Color Sync Lost

Error code NO SYNC on the Pentair Pentair IntelliBrite 5G LED Pool/Spa Light means: Color Sync Lost. Multiple IntelliBrite lights in the pool are not synchronized — they are displaying different colors or changing at different times. IntelliBrite lights synchronize their color shows by momentarily cutting and restoring power (each power interruption advances to the next show). If lights are on different circuits or have different power-on timing, they will lose sync. To resynchronize, turn all lights off for 15 seconds, then turn all on simultaneously. On pools with multiple light circuits, connect lights to the same automation relay or circuit.
