Well, looks disconnecting one did the trick :)
If I now walk into the garage through the door with the panel right next to it, the one corresponding light comes on almost instantly, similar to how the Chamberlain panel operates.
The range is still not what I was hoping, i.e. if I enter through...
Well, here's the full story of my frustration:
I have 2 garages, one 2 car and one 1 car garage.
The 2 jackshafts with 2 remote lights are in the 2 car, the 1 car has a newish chain driven Chamberlain (integrated light) that came with a Chamberlain wall control that is exactly the same as the...
Thanks! Not sure I follow. The 2 panels are individually wired to the 2 corresponding openers, 1-to-1.
I assume the signal from the panel to turn on the light goes through the wire to the opener which then triggers the light remotely.

Both ears for the bolts are flush with the workbench edge (take my word for it) but the jaws are not parallel to it.
I.e. the swivel base does not allow to lock the vise itself in a straight way. It is off by...
Yes, it is very hard to hold my iPhone straight above without getting some kind of distortion.
As far as I can tell, there is really nothing wrong with base, no repair, holes are symmetrical and bolt is centered.
Exactly my thought as well, just wanted to make sure...
Like I said, they are considered to be really well designed vises (it is my first Reed), so I am a little surprised that Reed would not have cared about this.
