So I left my Strobospark plugged in after use, probably for a week. We’ll, it quit working. So I checked power from the transformer and it was ok. I took it apart and really had no idea what I was looking at. I noticed the panel illumination was out so I checked power to the bulb and found the bulb burned out. Replaced the bulb and everything is happy again. Just thought I’d share.

Re: Strobospark Repair
I think it's fairly common to have the bulb fail, especially if you use a hammer to 'adjust' the current with the coil in the unit. Fortunately replacing the bulb is a simple repair.
