Hello again,
Wanted to inform that I made some action by drilling a hole of 13mm drill bit to adjust some internal screws and now the light has been functioning over the last 4 days without any freezing in the middle. Cant really say if was related to the stuff I did (as it could be just because during the exercise I also twisted a bit the internal cables, but here is what I thought.
The steady state light module (bottom one with ventilator underneath) has 2 adjusting screws on the back (inside the light) which allows the module to be moved up and down. When I looked at my old light then that module was on its lowest level basically touching the ventilator casing. All that made me think of the air flow that the ventilator is creating and did some angle measurements. So to my estimation when the module is against the fan the the fins that pass the air through guide the air a bit above the swiveling light module and this module then do not get enough cooling. But by moving the steady module by approx 3 to 4mm upwards the air is guided underneath the swiveling module which should give cooling to both modules.
In any case as I do want to get it operational I just went ahead and drilled a hole to the back side of the light to gain access to one of the bolts. I covered it up with the soundproofing bitumen/aluminium material and melted it a bit to get perfect seal.
As the light was not operating before this action and started to operate immediately after I do not know if this operation was successful or just something else. Obviously its too early to say, but considering the weather - was -8c Saturday and +8c today then at least the outside temp has not played a role in it.
Again try to add some pictures which might go together of my explanation. Maybe a few more posts needed with pics. I will now monitor for few weeks and if it stays operational then at least im happy.
