I plugged my flood lights in and 2 of the 10 come on blue as soon as I plug them in. I cycled power and still blue. Brand new out of the box. What does the blue mean?

You'll need to provide a lot more detail for anyone to have a chance of helping you.

120V or low voltage?

PWM or 2811 or DMX or IR/RF remote controlled?

Do they work correctly when the controller is sending data to them?

Are the "bad" units at the start, end or part way through the chain?

No, they don't. Blue all the time. They are each designated to their on spi port on receiver. Both on 4th port of the receiver. 1 is on the 1st receiver in the line of 3 from 1st line outvof controller and the other is on the 3rd receiver in in a line of 3 on line 2 from receiver

If swapping the working and non-working ones around doesn't solve the issue, it would seem you do have some faulty ones.

If you got them the same place as the HinksPix Pro, then blue means no data. They come up blue until they get a data signal, supposed to be a diagnostic aid but can be annoying.

Does that mean it's not configured on hinks page?

It can mean that it is not configured, or off the end of the configured string, or data not reaching it, but honestly the build quality on all the 10W floods I've seen (including those) is lousy, so sometimes they fail. I had a couple die last year, stop passing data... one or two started flicking, one or two got dampness inside, generally didn't like them, and so I didn't put them out this year. If you did need spares, I have some lightly used ones I'd mail you just to reduce the clutter in the attic...
