Studio Spot 250 Lamp Strike Issue

So we have several Studio Spot 250s and one of them has developed an irritating quirk. Upon powerup, the instrument will strike and behave normally, but after a few minutes the lamp will go out.

If we allow it to cool down, we can restrike the lamp, but again, after a few minutes the lamp will once again go out.

We have tried several differnt lamps and that is not the issue.

On a whim, I swapped out the thermal sensor with another instrument to see if I just had a hyper-sensitive sensor for some reason. But that was not the problem.

Any suggestions?

    A LITE OUT error means that the lamp has gone out unexpectedly for some reason. In other words, the software didn't tell it to turn the lamp off and it is as confused as we are that it went out.

    It could be any number of things honestly. SCR's getting old, lamp itself, ignitor, ballast, lamp socket.

    Give our Support Dept a call here and they can probably point you to the most likely things to check next or give odds on what they think may have failed based on past experience.
