The next time Artist boots up it will issue a lamp strike to all fixtures.

The lamp strike command can also be accessed via a System Command. The system command can be accessed from an external source (e.g. MIDI message) or from a Real time event. This would allow you to strike the fixture lamps at a specific time of day.
