Just remembered...
I mentioned earlier that I had a weird fault with my star!
I found what it was...
When I attached all of the strips to the star, some of the paint was scratched off the frame and shorted out the pads at the rear of the strips. This then powered other strips inadvertently or power 2 colours at once.
So... take all of the strips off, wrap the frame in insulation tape, and re-attach them.
Job done, catastrophe averted
