I couldn't find this anywhere online, so I figured I'd ask here. One of the VL1000s we are running is having an issue I have never encountered before.
When the fixture first lamps on, all shutters work beautifully (as beautiful as a VL1000 can run). After the lamp has been on for roughly five minutes or so, the shutter in the assembly closest to the lamp housing begins to be jumpy then refuses to open up at all.
Steps taken to repair:
-We swapped out entire shutter assembly from a parts fixture (no whole spare fixtures to swap). Problem persisted.
-We swapped out the thin layer between individual shutters that acts as a sort of slick buffer. Problem persisted.
-All motors are confirmed working.
Any insight at all would be more than appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
