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

    [QUOTE=carlos3621;47176]Makes sense, im just not too familiar with DMX lighting, but the power issue was probably the reason they were turning off.
    I havent yet tried them out since that event, but will post results, soon as i try them out here at home.

    Thanks for the tips!!

    It's not DMX lighting as much as it is arc lamps and magnetic ballasts - they are just plain pretty picky as to what voltage ranges they will run stable in. Too much, and lamp off due to overheating, too little, and lamp off due to not being able to sustain the arc . . .
