Issues with Updating

Light fails when trying to update

Your computer may need up-to-date drivers for the update cable. Download here: UpgradeCableDriver.zip

Rainbow update to Version 0.96 and beyond are only available for Hardware Version 2 of the Rainbows that say the word "Rainbow" above the display. If your light does not say the word "Rainbow," Version 0.95 is the final update.

I updated my Light to 0.96 and it shows 0.95 on the lamp

An early version of the hardware is only able to update to version 0.95 due to hardware limiations.
