Conditional formatting not matching third criteria

[Ochimus]

Col A shows the Equipment number, Col B the date rented out and Col C date returned.

Cols I - S are the dates from 1 - 16 Jan.

Conditional Formatting formula works perfectly in identifying the "date ranges", but posts them sequentially in the rows matching the dates in Cols A - C.
=AND($B2<=I$1,$C2>=I$1)

But when the Equipment is added, it doesn't work:
=AND($A2=$H2,$B2<=I$1,$C2>=I$1)
Correct location is shown by thick border around each bloc of cells.

All solutions, suggestions and recommendations received gratefully as ever,
