Glo light stuck on
We had a power cut recently and I was using the light on my Glo (something I don't often do). The Glo is in a sleep cover and goes to sleep when I close the "lid".

I have though noticed that the light does not go off and has to be shut off with the switch prior to closing the case.

I'm not sure how long this has been going on but I'm now on the V3.19.5613 firmware and it's still happening.

Is this normal and I just haven't noticed it or is it a problem just for me ? It does seem rather odd "design behaviour".

What happens if you put the Glo to sleep using the power button?

I've just tried that and the light stays on. Then the only way to shut it off is to take it out of sleep mode, switch off the light, then put it back in a sleep mode.

Very odd behaviour.

My Glo is on FW 3.18.0, and it switches the light off when I put it to sleep.

So update it to the new firmware and then try it.

Problem solved - I powered down the Glo and re-booted it and now the light behaves as expected, switching off when the Glo goes to sleep.

Must have been something about how it restarted after the firmware update.
