This should NOT be the case with an LED! The stage light going out and red light coming on should appear simulatenous at best. If there was a visibly discernible difference, then the stage light should appear to go out before the red light, not the other way around.

Seeing multiple instances of the red light coming on before the stage light going out makes me MORE concerned, not less.

Well, both the Brand and Mason red lights happened with the incandescent stage bulbs. And in the DeFrank video, you can see the stage lights are on only in the frame where the red light is starting to come on. So it does happen faster with the LED bulbs. If you had a camera that took more frames per second, I'm sure you could see it on every red light. Most video cameras only take 30 FPS.

They could change the programing to make sure the stage light is completely off before they turn the red light on. The program probably turns the red light on first and then turns the stage light off. Depending on how fast the computer is, there is going to be a little delay.

As somebody said before, they need to overhaul the timing equipment. Starting with a complete rewrite of the software.
