Here are the close up photos from two of my Einsteins, both have done around 8,000 flash discharge each. As you can see, where the rubber looks scorched there is a layer of carbon built up.

Hi, I've been using the E640 for the past 8 months and they've all performed perfectly, I was doing a bit of maintenance on the lights and noticed that all 5 of the Einsteins have a bit of carbon build up on one of the flash tube legs. Is this normal? Nelson |

Perhaps you can post a photo, or email us one at info@paulcbuff.com Charring of the legs is not a good thing, as arcing will affect both the tube and the light itself. However, a photo would help determine if that is what is happening. |

Thats on the insulation and nothing to cause concern. The issue described above would be if the carbon was on the actual metal. |
