Hi everyone i installed wled on esp32. I wanted to have this effect but only when turned on. This is what I would like to accomplish. I tried to apply the effects but the effect keeps repeating. I use ws2812b [![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/wled/original/2X/3/30b57ece6630c5e44828419998d8ca8d8d3d8bde.jpeg "LED aluminum profie with running led strip light.") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wIdDfRKpq3k) Can you help me please? ---

You could create a playlist and have that effect as the first preset. Then you would put a solid effect as the second preset. Next you would have to play with the duration of the first effect in the playlist so that it was timed correctly that all the LEDs were on before transitioning to the second effect. Uncheck the repeat box. ---

For an example done already for this case look here > [@Wipe & sweep ceiling LEDs strip light](https://wled.discourse.group/t/wipe-sweep-ceiling-leds-strip-light/5627/5): > > As I showed you the video in discord for the first part of the question [Discord](https://discord.com/channels/473448917040758787/473450515385024533/996430129393827880) , to do that i did this : A) create a wipe preset and make sure to add (“tb”:0) so the effect will start correctly B) Create a preset with solid color to match the end of your wipe C) Create a playlist and add the wipe preset , set the repeat to 1 and End preset to solid preset You may need to adjust the timing a bit to match the number of leds [wipe.txt](https://wled.discourse.group/uploads/short-url/nkRq7bWB3kHwzwI02DLMfYylgvl.txt) (598 Bytes) The second part of you question d… For the repeat defaulting to 2 yes I seen that before and it is fixed so make sure you are on latest **build** from here [WLED installation (wled-install.github.io)](https://wled-install.github.io/) ---
