Worked at Suffolk the last year they were running and had a similar instance. The guy in the right lane staged so shallow that the relay in the old Chrondex box was buzzing......off on off on. The stage light was on but was flickering so fast it appeared to stay evenly lit. I waiting a little longer than usual and as soon as I activated the tree it was an instant red. That's an old system and I'm not sure how large a diameter the beam is but when we setup every weekend the receiving end had a very small hole in it and it would be a fluke for a flash to trigger it. How about going to a different light source.....infrared beam or something that sunlight or a common camera flash won't trigger.
