Thread: mini strobe problem (probably easy to fix)

Tweet

I have a mini strobe light i had since about 2006 or so it ran nicely for that long surprising but now it might need a tune up, does it need like a new light bulb it does work but the flashing is dull and not a Bright "lightning" flash

does this thing need a new light bulb,fuse or just to be tossed out? i had this for 4 seasons so i dont know i should use it anymore along with me fixing my Danson 400 watt fog machine as well.

Did you check e batteries?

no it uses an actual wall power plug supply not battery operated.

Do you have a picture? I have a old Radio shack one back from the early 80's and its still going.

it is one of those strobes you get from spirit or halloween city for 10 dollars or so with a plug into the wall adapter it isn't battery operated.

If it's working at all, it isn't a fuse. For $2.50 a year ($10 spread over 4 years) I'd cut my losses and just buy a new one. I have a similar model, 10W "Heshan Lide Electronics Company" mini strobe I picked up at party city back in '06. I say it's not worth fixing...even if you could identify what was wrong with it, the replacement parts would probably be more expensive than just getting a new one.

that is the same strobe i got too, i got it at marcs for about 6 dollars for those years for so little cash it sure lasted for quite some time
