Hi all! First time poster, any help is much appreciated.
I recently started a new job as the lighting designer/technician in a small venue space. They run their whole grid on two big daisy-chains, and when recently hanging a different plot I accidentally plugged into the multiplex option on the bottom of a dimmer pack instead of the DMX option. I'm sure you see where this is going.
It was pretty early on into the start of the daisy-chain, thank god, but I think I fried 4 lights. I didn't even know killing a dmx chip because of multiplex was a thing that could happen, but after some research I think that's my situation.
My question is: can I replace that part inside the light? And how difficult would that be?
I can't figure out exactly what chip it is or where in the light it lives.
The units are two Chauvet SlimPAR QUAD 12s, and two Chauvet Intimidator Spot LED 150s.
It's a very small venue and these units were donated in the first place, so buying replacements isn't really an option. Any experience anyone has with this would be helpful! Thank you!
