So I have an MX7000 with D-Tech rotators on my display (3 glass, 2 plastic). I typically only run it for 5 minutes or less. The other day I ran the outer rotators for a good 20 min. The dome above the light was starting to deform from the heat. I shut it off and put a wet washcloth on top of each to cool the dome. No cracking, bubbling or damage but slightly deformed now. It is on my display so I might put in lower wattage bulbs. The only issues I have heard of them is the plastic reflectors flaking. How did the domes not melt and collapse onto the rotator when used in service? I was thinking of putting in a tiny computer fan but I dont think that would really help. Other then a lower wattage bulb, any tips/suggestions?
While thinking about this, I remembered a funny story of a bar I sold years ago. Sold an all amber MX to a kid with a plow truck. He contacted me a week later seeing if ai had any spare parts. He wanted to see it work in his bedroom so he stuck the ends of the wires in an electrical outlet at home. I never saw the bar but he said all the light bulbs literally ecploded, bent some of the rotators and 3 of the motors ignited. Im sure they burned all the oxygen and went out. Some people, lol.
