Well sometimes brand new equipment that produces heat, I.E the bulb can produce somke when used for the first time, as this is the oils used on the motors or in the paint finish.
Sounds like it is this, but get it checked again before using it at a gig.

As above post, I noticed from a bunch of soundlab lights we ordered in for a job, They all produced smoke at first, What it turned out to be was the rubber silicon on the front of lens, Was applied very very poorly bad QC, Once it burnt off was fine though
