Do y'all have any idea of what an average life span of the flash tubes are on the Bees? Since buying a pair of Alien Bees 1600's in October, I have put approx 30,000 pops on them with no problem. I use them to shoot high school volleyball and currently, lots of basketball. I bought a spare flash tube and have it with me at each game, but so far, I haven't needed it. Since switching to the Cybersync's (CST and CSRB's), I have approx 10,000 pops with no misfires. I like that! |

Assuming no damage to the tube, they should last 250K to 500K shots. It is always a good idea to have a spare. There is always a chance to have one break as a light falls over. TS |
