mains powered LED rope light wiring



My daughter has 5 sets of mains powered (230Volts UK) LED rope lights used to light advertising signs around 5 meters above ground level. Each set has a 8 way electronic controller that allow different light sequences to be selected. She wants/needs the lights to be continious glow all the time. The problem is that when the lights are switched on they default to a flashing mode that is unsuitable. To correct this the controller has to be reprogrammed using a button on the unit. In practice this is pretty impractical because of they are fairly innaccessable. The controllers are marked input 230 volts x 8 ohms output 230 volts 2X 4 ohms. There is a live and neutral feed wire to the controller. There are three ouput wires to the lights coloured 1 brown (live?) 1 blue (neutral?) and 1 green yellow ( normally ground/earth but clearly not in this case). Does anyone know how the lights can be made to made to be in permanently in constant glow mode?

Thanks for any advice you can give
