Whats wrong with my DMX lights?
I set up my new new LED Cans into my 512 DMX controller, I set the DMX address on the two lights using the dip switches and the DMX binary code, on first go when I select scanner 1 and select the fader the first light seems ok and I move to the next one and it seems to have dropped the signal or fader 1 has no function fo this light so I have to start with fader 2 which means I have lost a function and then when I go back to the first light again it seems not to respond at all again the signal seems to have dropped, I don't have a 120ohm resister on the last light on the chain but would this matter that much or are the lights just crap...or is it my controller
No, you need an end of line resistor in the last DMX out port.
If you have a spare XLR or DMX lead, then take that from the last light back to the controller DMX input. This will check the lights function ok.
Then if all is ok, get an end of line resistor plug.
