OK VariLite folks, here is the issue. I have a VL2K wash that will strike when sitting upright on it's base with no struggle at all, but when it is inverted (hung) it will not even attempt to strike (i.e. no noise from the igniter at all.) Here is what i have tried, check all connections to...

Yes that was exactly what I was looking for. I searched google for about an hour before posting here, everything I found had dead links, or said "Service Manuals are no longer available to the general public." I guess some are just better at google than others, thanks again.

Does anyone happen to have a VL2000 Service Manual, I'm kind of in a pinch. I would really appreciate it.

Thanks for the help, unfortunately light parts doesn't have a photo of the part I am looking for, leaving me guessing at which part it actually is, I looked there first. The second post is closer but they all kind of look the same, I'll have to give light parts a call tomorrow and find out...

Make sure the lamp door is seated all the way, or maybe the door switch is bad. That would cause it to do nothing.

I was wondering if anyone might have part numbers for the thermal switches in a MAC 700. I am looking in particular for the number for the rear thermal closest to the lamp. Any info would be appreciated thank you in advance!

Do you have a website or any cut sheets for these units? I would like to learn more.

1024 is the number of dimmer outputs, the 500 is the number of channels the console allows. For example, you can take your 99 conventional dimmer and patch them all into channel 1 (you probably wouldn't want to do this) however for explanation purposes let's say you did. That would mean all 99...

Have you tried going to the control card and making sure nothing has come loose there? Even tried just unplugging and re-seating the harnesses on it.Also make sure the magnet is passing in line with the sensor (within a fingernail thickness) is the way i usually judge it, and also make sure...

I have never worked on this particular fixture however, a few simple steps I always try first on other lights: Do this with the power to the light completely disconnected, that way the is very little chance of shorting something out if there is a bad wire or if something accidentally gets...

Clay Paky Sharpy at LDI 2010 - YouTube 190W thats all I have to say, forget the heavy fixtures!

I would say the HPL's were a coincidence, if a third goes in that manner I would be concerned. As far as the lamp in mover it could be possible that one of the thermal switches is nearing the end of it's life. The mover may only exhibit the problem in a certain position that the thermal switch...

I do have a teaser in front of the cyc which actually causes me to lose about 2.5 to 3' at the top of the cyc. Being that we do the T3 units at the top and R40s at the bottom we are looking into replacing all the units with LEDs. Quite frankly, the T3s (currently lamped at 1k) cover from top to...
