Technobeams lamp problem help

Hi,
i have a pair of Technobeams, and Martin lightjockey controller.
Im having an issue where, sometimes the lamps in the lights, turn off, and i have to unplug them and wait a few minutes, for the lamps to turn back on. sometimes they just come on and work, sometimes not.
Anybody have any ideas on what i may need to replace?
(im new to dmx lighting), and havent a clue....

They are in excellent condition, and everything works, just have an issue with the lamps sometimes not functioning right,
are the lamps supposed to come on, soon as they are plugged in??

thanks,
carlos

    Lamps do need time to cool off to restrike,
    So that is why they don't restart right away.

    High end lights usually strike when they have dmx.

    As for why your fixtures are losing lamps while running,
    Could be a number of things, from lamp base to lamp ballast to anything in between.

    Do all your technobeams randomly lose their lamp strike?

    Also, You should be able to restrike the lamp from the desk, (once they cool off) I am not familiar with lightjockey, but I assume it isn't complicated.

    Good Luck,
