How to update Euroquatics A1/A1P

Wonder if it was starting to overheat?
That’s what I’m thinking. Per the manual, it has a shutdown feature to keep it from overheating where it will run at less intensity. Thinking back, it was doing that but, also, flickering. Almost 2.5 hours since I cleaned the dust and haven’t noticed anymore flickering.
 
An interesting observation since I got the A1Ps from JCole, the fans on the A1’s (95w) run much more frequently than the A1Ps (150w).
 
Last night, I went downstairs to feed the fish. I am currently down to 2 A1s on the 40B and will be listing that system for sale this week. Anyway, one of the A1s on the 40 seemed to only be powering at about 50% compared to the other light. Since I have a bunch of spares, I pulled out another light, plugging it into the already in place ballast and synched it to the master light. Still dim. Hmmm, swapped out the ballast for a new one, synched again and all my lights (including those on the 150 where the master is located - total of 3 A1Ps and 4 A1s) came on at 100%.

What the fudge? Got the laptop, logged into Euronet and my custom program was gone. Got it all programmed (or so I thought), fed the fish and headed up for the night.

This morning, all my lights were on at about 40-50%. Again, what the fudge? Grabbed the laptop, logged into Euronet and ugh, apparently I forgot to hit save after programming last night. Had to start from scratch and reprogram again.

This is the second time my custom program has disappeared from Euronet when I've added/changed out a light. I'm sure it's user error but, I'd sure like to figure out what I'm doing wrong for future reference.
