    What to do if my SHOWTEC compact par 7 MKII Flood Light has no light?

      Anna LawsonAug 1, 2025
      If your SHOWTEC Flood Light has no light, first, ensure the unit is properly plugged into a suitable power supply. If the power supply is not the issue, the fuse may be blown and require replacement. If these steps don't resolve the issue, the LEDs may be faulty, in which case you should return the fixture to your Showtec dealer for further assistance.

      If one or more SHOWTEC Flood Light fixtures are completely dead, verify that the power is switched on and the cables are securely plugged in. If the issue persists, the primary fuse may have blown and needs to be replaced.

      Kelly GreenAug 11, 2025
      If your SHOWTEC Flood Light is not responding to DMX, verify the DMX settings and ensure the DMX addresses are correct. Also, check the DMX cable by unplugging the unit, changing the DMX cable, and then reconnecting the power. Finally, determine whether the controller or the light effect is at fault.

      If SHOWTEC Flood Light fixtures reset correctly, but all respond erratically, first, ensure the controller is properly connected. If the 3-pin XLR Out of the controller does not match the XLR Out of the first fixture on the link (i.e., the signal is reversed), install a phase-reversing cable between the controller and the first fixture on the link.

    Why does my SHOWTEC compact par 7 MKII cut out intermittently?
    • R
      Rachel BruceAug 27, 2025
      If your SHOWTEC Flood Light experiences intermittent light or lamp cutouts, several factors could be responsible: * The fixture might be overheating, so allow it to cool. * Ensure that the air vents at the control panel and front lens are not blocked. * Increase air conditioning to lower the ambient temperature. * The LEDs may be damaged, requiring you to disconnect the fixture and return it to your dealer. * The power supply settings may not match your local AC voltage and frequency; disconnect the fixture, check the settings, and correct them if necessary.

      If SHOWTEC Flood Light fixtures reset correctly but some respond erratically, consider the following: * Check the data quality. * Inspect connections and cables, correcting poor connections and replacing damaged cables. * Insert a termination plug in the output jack of the last fixture on the link if the data link is not terminated with a 120 Ohm termination plug. * Check the address setting if the fixtures are incorrectly addressed. * Bypass one fixture at a time by unplugging both connectors and connecting them directly together until normal operation is regained. One of the fixtures may be defective and disturbing data transmission on the link. * Install a phase-reversing cable between the fixtures or swap pin 2 and 3 in the fixture that behaves erratically if the 3-pin XLR...
