| Post subject: | B800 suddenly switching off |
Hi, My Alienbee 800 unit is suddenly switching itself off(fuse is tripping?) I can hit the test cycle a few times and it works fine, but it will make a pop sound and I won't be able to cycle off/on until I have unplugged it. I have had my B800s for about 7 years now, they had light duty use for about 4 years and I have used them a few times over the past 3 years since I stopped photographing professionally. I recently had to buy a new flash bulb, as the other had gone out. It had been working fine earlier today too, probably took about 80 photos on 1/4 power, then took a break for a couple hours, came back and now I can't get it to fire without tripping the fuse. Any thoughts/advice? Thanks |

Repetative switching indicates a problem with too much power draw, heat, or a defective power switch. In any case, the light will need to come in for service. |
