I am trying to have the light change to specific colors using an array. I would dearly appreciate some assistance asap.

So is this working as intended now? ForEachNode with delay sounds like an overkill for that. Why not use a timer with an event?

Anyway, if it works the way you want, that’s fine, for course. Consider converting your comment into an answer, accept it and flag it as resolved. 🙂
