I read somewhere there are units which go between the flash head and powercord which beep when the unit is recycled. Anyone know of such units or is it in fairy land?
Thanks.

There's no way to have anything inline between the wall outlet and the strobe that would tell you the flash is ready or know when the capacitors are fully charged. Robert

I just had a brainstorm idea for this - not that I'd care to use it, though. Skip Douglas

Build a one-shot beeper with a light bulb screw base. Screw it into the modeling light sockets. When it powers down and back up, it would beep once. That would surely do it Skip. Robert
