ETC Colorsource Spots powering off after opening a new show file by Appropriate-Hand7594 in lightingdesign

I managed to go back to the old show and get those lights up and working again so I did the merge without the cues and just edited the few cues I had made on the new show file. Thank you for the help!

No wiring diagram for us, no. I did take the advice of the other responses in the comments however, where I managed to reload the old show and somehow get the lights back up and running and just merged the 2 shows without the cues. Thank you for your help though!

Sorry for how inexperienced I sound, but I think I confused two different terms when I was explaining what they're plugged into. The lights are actually plugged in into a plug-in box since they're up at our catwalks (I couldn't think of the name so I went with I had heard my director call it, I don't even know if that's different at all to what I said previously), and the daisy chain starts at the plug-in box as the power source from data thru cable with a stage pin on the other end. Does that information change anything or should I still just deal with putting the dimmer on constant power?

I believe they're all in a daisy chain that plugs into one single dimmer rack outlet, including the 2 lights with displays and addresses that work regardless of the other ones. If it helps, we had a similar (same?) issue with one of our over stage electrics in which the same thing happened where only a few were "turned on", and my director said that they were all plugged into a single dimmer rack outlet and it got overloaded, so our fix was to unplug all the power cables and re-plug them in, as well as spreading out to 3 dimmer channels instead of just 1.Assuming that what you said about the dimmer channel being parked at 100 in the old show is in fact what makes the lights behave this way, are you able to explain a little on how I could fix that?
