Hey I was wondering if we had any Chauvet repair gurus on here that could walk me through fixing some lights.
The furthest I have ever been in the lights is changing the LED module. I'm very eager to learn more about them though and dive deeper. I just need someone to take me under their wing.
We have four lights that are acting up and not sure how to fix them.
Light 1 - When you rotate the gobo too slow it stops completely. I tried manually turning the prism gear and it seems to get hung up at a certain point in doing so. Is there a fix for this or do I need to buy a completely new prism system?
Light 2 - You set a gobo and it seems to start stuttering and then makes it way to the next gobo in line. It will continue doing this making it's way through the different gobos and at times it has 1/2 of one gobo and 1/2 of another.
Light 3 - Lamp turns off intermittently. Replaced the LED chip and this is still happening.
Light 4 - When you turn it on and it goes into self test mode, it will pan one way and then when it pans all the way in the opposite direction it keeps trying to pan and instead starts making a stuttering noise and shaking. Eventually after about 30 seconds this behavior stops.
These lights have been used in a night club setting just about every Fri & Sat for about 4 hours for the last 5 years.
If this is too difficult to walk me through, perhaps someone may know of a shop that can fix Chauvet fixtures that is close to me. I'm in Maine.
Usually for any repairs we have to package up the lights and ship them to Chauvet in Florida. Was hoping to learn to fix them myself or find a repair shop closer to Maine.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks
