cyber cx

Hi. have just put 6 Cyber Cx's in an ice rink and am having a couple of problems.
When all fixtures were installed they were re-lamped and happy. within a week they were playing up. we only ever have between 1 and 5 striking, 1 will strike and die straight away and a couple will die after a few min's. all DMX functions seem fine, the mirrors and steppers will happily carry on. there are 4 led battons on the rig as well which work perfectly on the same DMX run, i am suspicious that the power could occasionaly fluctuate as the desk will momentaraly dim once in a while, max temperature is around 7 degrees at the rig but these fixtures have worked there before on the same system.
Any ideas.:15:

    If your voltage is unstable, that can certainly cause lamps to douse out.

    How old are these fixtures? (manufacturing date is on the back near lamp socket)

    2 other things to check:

    1- the 14pin harness that links the PSB to the Logic card sometimes goes bad....look for brown burn marks on the connector ends. This usually causes erratic behavior though, not simply lamp issues.

    2- A lamp that strikes initially, then douses might also indicate a bad ballast.

    Hope this helps:)
