Things do go whacky if the light is mounted on the same side, and in between the transmitter and receiver, especially if using a blinking light setting.

Thanks for that piece of info. I was not aware of that issue. At least now if I ever have that issue I will check location of the light first, before assuming the computer died. I wonder what else the lights may effect.
