bie_skwer Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Hi, I am still running two old Courtenay Solaflash 600 units. One of them went dead and I think it could be the lighting bulb. Do you know wether there is a replacement or a similar newer bulb that can be used if the flash unit is modified? I am not scared of doing some soldering or heavy modification... Does anyone have a scheme? Thanks a lot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ray_rosher Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Not sure what you meand by bulb do you mean the bulb that lights up the area your going to photograph or do you mean the Strobe this is the outer ring part that flash's when you take a picture. if it's the strobe then check to make sure it's not a capacitar as these hold the high voltage needed for the strobe and sometimes go faulty.also check your fuse not sure of the 600 but the 2000 i have as an internal low amperage fuse, if it is in fact the bulb (the lighty up bit) then don't buy any of the modern energy saver bulbs that claim to work with flash heads they are designed for the modern flash units and not the older types like this, and will not work...the new bulds I had to get were the older element type buld... if your in the UK the bulbs i got for my Solaflsah 2000 were Thorn 220/230V-150W p3/4 enlarger E27..542-245B hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ray_rosher Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 forgot to add that if you havent used theis flash for a while then leave the unit plugged in and switched on for a few hours as the electronics can sometimes lose their charge and have to build it up again..
