The BENOIT SYSTEMS Light Drive 2.1 may suddenly stop and display three lights before turning off due to a fault in a component of the power add-on. The flashing lights indicate an error code, and the number of LEDs flashing helps identify the issue. In this case, you should count the flashing LEDs and contact your dealer for assistance.
