So I was doing some upgrades on my GHL equipment yesterday, and noticed that my Mitras LX7206 were brighter after being off for a minute or two...
Turns out they are clearly throttling based on temperature. (Happy about this... it's a good thing!).
So I got a big room fan and pointed it at one of my fixtures....
I saw the current usage (on Powerbar) go from 1.05A to 1.45A in a few minutes - around 35% increase. My PAR meter is on loan, but I will measure the impact of that as soon as I get it back later this week.
So, I need to add some additional airflow around the fixtures and wondered if anyone has come up with a solution for this already. In the first instance I think I'll try a ceiling fan in the room as it might move enough to make a difference, but interested in other options too!
