Odd Issue with Studio Command 700's

I currently have 28 Studio Commands in my rig, and recently have been having an issue with 2 particular fixtures. Both have the same symptom, they keep dousing. Re-Striking the lamp only works if it is followed by doing a "global fixture reset". I have gone through EVERY cue in EVERY cuelist/scene and verified that a control function wasn't mistakenly included in programming.
Any ideas, suggestions, insight?

Could be a number of things.
First try new lamps.
Next examine your power....make sure there is nothing that could cause it to dip out of range.

If that fails it might be a problem with the LPS (Lamp Power Supply).....there were some issues with the very early run of the 700s with LPS-es. When were your fixtures manufactured?

Thanks for the response Marty...

I had already checked the lamps and lamp hours. I will check power when I go in this week.

The fixtures were purchased new less than 3 years ago, but the exact manufacture date, I'll have to look into.

I'll update later this week. Thanks again.

I believe you should be clear of the early issues in this case, but it still could be an LPS issue for your two fixtures.
