Platinum 5r Lamp strike problem

jonhoffmannMember

Hi all,

I have two Platinum Spot 5r fixtures that stopped working. The lamp strikes for a second, goes dim for a second and then back out. Rinse repeat. Any ideas? Could it be the ballast? Ignitor? Fan? This weekend I will have them down on the bench and can take a look at them. What should I look for? Could the lamp timer do this? Strange that they *were* working but now are not...

Thanks!

One lamp had 600 hours on it, the other 1700 - guess I just had a bad run of lamps...thanks!

OK - Spoke too soon. Last Sunday the lamps were fine. Came in today to get the rig up for tonight's concert and I have one out of 4 working. All got brand new lamps, now 1, 3, and 4 won't lamp up. Full control otherwise, just no lamp. Ideas?

thanks!

It could be a fan or thermostat You can jump out the thermostat to see if that is bad.Both of these
can cause the lamp to not strike or turn off.I
have had lamps die at 150 HR lamps.hope this helps

I will have to pull them down and open them up - give them a thorough cleaning and check that out. One now pops the fuse constantly.

Definitely going to be a fan issue. the unit is getting too hot and triggering the Thermo shut off. Please make sure to clean out your units once in a while.
