Make sure that all LED light engines have the same Suffix Code (Suffix  
Code is located on each packaging label). 

Incorrect wire attachment. 

Check the wire connections at the Tetra Contour LED light engine for  
improper connections. Make sure you have positive to positive and  
negative to negative wire connections. Check for improper cutting  
resolution locations (see Method B step 2).
