Thanks everyone for your suggestions and ideas. After working with our facility’s electrician, we cut power to the rack and swapped cards. The problem did not follow the card, it went away completely! Now I have full dimming back to all of my circuits again. We also did some cleanup of the dust...

Thank you, that's is very helpful. I am going to engage our school's electrical contractor to assist with this. I work strictly in an advisor role as the technical director for the space (my main job is System/Network Administration) so anything above 24 volts I don't like to touch.

Thanks for the information. It is an ENR rack. So I can try swapping both control modules from the one rack to the other and see if the problem follows?

I went back to an old show file and even created a new one with a 1to1 patch and I’m still experiencing the issue.We also have a Lee lighting controller for our house lights that I can also use to control the stage lights. That is also showing the same behavior on the same circuits.I am...

Hey thanks for the reply. I'll check that tonight... not sure who would have changed it but that does make sense.

Wow... we have an identical 902. I knew it was old - didn't know it was that old!

So I'm definitely embarrassed, but i really appreciate the thoughtful replies. The fuse on the side was popped. I never saw it! We're back up and running :)

Well that is interesting. There is no damage or frost - the op said it just went out. Having never dealt with MH lamps I didn't know what to look for.Come to think of it, on the spot the power light comes on but the fan does not. Maybe it's something else electrical. Or perhaps there's a...

Hey everyone, I am looking for some advice regarding older follow spots. A lamp blew (I believe) on tech day and of course we have no spares in stock. It takes an OSRAM HTI 400W metal-halide bulb that costs an eye watering $260.00. The kicker is they're only rated for 250 hours. We're a public...
