I'm trying to get a fixture working but can't seem to get it. I tried to same channel assignment in FreeStyler to make sure they are correct. I would only need the color, strobe and intensity

The DMX channel assignments on these lights are as follows: 

Generic Par Can - XeeStore  LED PAR Stage Light 18 X 3W  

Ch1-master intensity (must be 100% or nothing else works) 
Ch2-Strobe Speed
Ch3-Color change modes/sound modes 
Ch4-nothing I can detect
Ch5-Red
Ch6-Green
Ch7-Blue

Hi,

Can you send a link to the user manual? I need to know the info about channel 3 and 4.

No, I've been searching the web for weeks now.

In this case, you can patch it as 7 generic dimmers. Then try different values for the unknown channels until you discover the values needed for the RGB channels to work properly. After that you'll be able to create a fixture template.

Okay thanks, I've tested in Freestyler, and found that with chanel 1 at 100% (255) channels 5,6,7, control the RGB color values. 
I was able to get a brief flash of color out of a fixture in LJ but i can't figure out how to hold the dimmer at 100%

Here's a template. I've used the fixed capability in the editor for the 1st channel and to keep it at 100%. Edit the template to see how it's done and to adjust it if needed.

But I'm worried that you've had problem keeping a channel at 100%. To do so, you configure a source with a power of 100% and put the attribute you want to control over the source.
XeeStore - generic par.ljp

I should have tried these instead of the dimmer values I was using, this works perfectly! thanks a ton for the amazing support.
