      If your SHOWTEC Light Fixture has no light and no movement, there are several potential causes. First, ensure the unit is properly plugged into an appropriate power supply. Second, the lamp may be old and need replacement with a new one that has the same specifications. Finally, check the fuse and replace it if necessary.

    What to do if my SHOWTEC Light Fixture is not responding to DMX?
    • S
      Sherry GrayAug 3, 2025
      If your SHOWTEC Light Fixture is not responding to DMX, consider these potential causes. First, check the DMX cable by unplugging the unit, changing the DMX cable, and then reconnecting to electrical power. Second, determine whether the controller or the light effect is at fault. If the controller doesn't operate properly with other DMX products, it may need repair. If the controller works with other products, the light effect DMX card may be malfunctioning, in which case you should take the DMX cable and the light effect to a qualified technician.

      If one or more of your SHOWTEC Light Fixtures are completely dead, the most likely cause is a lack of power to the fixture. Check that the power is switched on and that all cables are securely plugged in.

    Why does the lamp in my SHOWTEC MiniMax 250 Light Fixture cut out intermittently?
    • M
      Michael GarciaAug 20, 2025
      If the lamp in your SHOWTEC Light Fixture cuts out intermittently, it could be due to the fixture overheating. Allow the fixture to cool, clean the fan, and ensure that the air vents at the control panel and front lens are not blocked. Increasing the air conditioning in the room can also help. Another potential cause is that the power supply settings do not match your local AC voltage and frequency. Disconnect the fixture and check the settings, correcting them if necessary.

    Why do all my SHOWTEC Light Fixtures respond erratically after resetting?

      If all of your SHOWTEC Light Fixtures reset correctly but respond erratically or not at all to the controller, it may be due to the controller not being connected. Connect the controller. Another potential cause is a mismatch between the 3-pin XLR Out of the controller and the first fixture on the link. To solve this, install a phase reversing cable between the controller and the first fixture on the link.
