I am teching a show right now and I am running into a problem I have never had before.
Equipment:
Lee Colortran 2.4kw dimmers
4 x R40 strips, 600w each
The problem is that when we go from a cue to blackout the strips stay on at a low level. Now, it is an old dimmer and it is loaded to the full 2.4kw, which I don't like to do, but that is what the designer wants so I have to. Initially I thought the dimmer had blown, but it did finally go out and we still seem to have full control over it. I haven't had a chance to troubleshoot it yet, but I would like to try and see if it just this cue and therefore maybe bad data. Has anybody had this issue or know what it might be?
Thanks,
-Tim
EDIT: It has been working really hard, it being tech and all, do you think that it could just be overheated??
