chris512 Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 Hi all, Just entering the second week of our summer inhouse production and was hoping that someone may be able to shed some light onto a dodgy selecon performer spot. Currently both spots need to be set to half power before giving power to the ballast otherwise it just cuts out (not a good sign!) also one of the spots starts to "strobe" after about 45 mins or so and will "strobe" for about a minute and then restore itself. Has anyone else found this before with this spot? I'm pretty sure its not a bubble issue because surely it would have gone by now, I'm thinking either its not getting enough power for the ballast or a lamp base issue. BTW I haven't had a chance to open in up yet (that'll be in a couple of hours)!! So any thoughts or ideas will be greatly appreciated! Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Some Bloke Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 It sounds to me like it doesn't like being run at half power for a long time. I think it's time to find out why it "just cuts out" when run at full. As you say, that's not a good sign! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris512 Posted August 2, 2004 Author Share Posted August 2, 2004 Sorry didn't make that point very cleary, we're starting them at half power so they dont trip out and then turning them up to full power which they're fine with until they start to strobe. Sorry for the confusion!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andystone Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 I would suggest you contact Nick Gale at Selecon UK on ngale@seleconlight.com, I'm sure he would be only too happy to help. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
