  • I tear down a ripoff of the Martin 300 spotlight model DMX stage light. With a look at the different mechanisms and electronics inside and a run through of its different functions. I also repair the unit and do some maintenance on it.

    If you still have that old spot moving ahead, can you please go over the menu controls on the menu

    It looks similar to a Mac 250 Entour/Krypton. The base is different though and the lamp is a 575 watt as opposed to a 250 watt.

    One of my 575w HTL Moving head lights have a cooling fan problem and the fans don't work so that means the lamp could get killed by its heat

    i have the Mac Krypton 250 and i get the RGER error the magnetic indexing circuit malfunction ( e-g sensor defective or magnet missing) did you know where is that sensor? Located?

      Hi Sonido, firstly I have to state that I am not at all familiar with that unit, but all of these machines have a mechanism to index where the unit is throughout its movement. The unit I had just used a switch but better units will probably have opto or magnetic sensors. See if Martin have a service manual available for your unit. It might have a section for indexing troubleshooting. Then I'd recommend you figure out if the sensor is faulty. Sometimes a good cleaning will fix the problem. Sometimes not. I will read up a bit and respond later

    What types of motors do they typically use on dj lights? And what lubricant can I use on them?

    • @ChristopherdeVilliers
      @ChristopherdeVilliers  4 года назад +2

      The majority of stage lights use stepper motors. I have not seen any that do not. I would recommend a light grease. Would not recommend a spray like WD40 or Q20

      @@ChristopherdeVilliers Hi. I'd still really like some help from my other comment, searching for a good distro, recently got a light that has l620 twist lock, did a few hour sof rsearch and nothing except f or twist lock plugs, I mean an actual distro that I could plug multiple fixtures into. i know you said you use 240v 50hz, but I'm wondering what *exactly* you are using, like what brand and like I said, maybe some inexpensive ones? I'd really appreciate, thanks.

      Christopher de Villiers thank you so much, do you know what type of grease (brands) are typically good for this application? I know there are so many types and mixing them is bad so I want to be able to identify it.

    what distor do you use for above 120v fixtures that aren't overpriced?

      Hi Lyle, we use 240V 50Hz where I live. I think you can try ebay but I honestly have no idea where you can get ones for the north american electrical system.

      If they are Macs than it should explain how to switch the running voltage in the user manual

    How do you know the fan is not spinning properly? (7:43)

      @ChristopherdeVilliers  7 лет назад +1

      Hi, when I turned the fan I could feel that the bearings are worn out. You will know when you feel it.

      Yep, large magnetic ballast for the HMI lamp. This fixture has been around a few years.

    It's possible to replace the 575 light bulb to LED light

    • @paradieshenne
      @paradieshenne 5 лет назад

      No, because the HMI has a different colorspectrum (the intensity of the different wavelength) than an led.

      Well actually yes you can it’s possible cause I did it on a chines knock off and it worked it wasn’t as bright as the standard 575 lamp but it got quieter

    • @ChristopherdeVilliers
      @ChristopherdeVilliers  5 лет назад +1

      Hi I also thought about doing something like that but honestly, I think it is just too much effort. You would also need to get a very bright AND GOOD QUALITY LED and driver. At the end of the day I would just buy something form Chauvet or ADJ that is already LED. I tried using a 50W LED instead of the HMI bulb and it was so dim and the colours were awful.
