I was on location at a shoot and had my AB800 at full power and it would pop, but it wasn't close to being full power, i did it again and sure enough it kept doing it. It was being powered by a vagabond II and was only at about 1/32 power even though the slider said full power. Anyone ever have this issue? I had another AB800 plugged it in and no problem at all. When i got home i tested the other light at home in an outlet and it was fine. I took it to another shoot and plugged it in a wall this time and bam, same problem. Any insight would be great.

To get a quicker and more accurate response I'd contact PCB CS instead. They've probably encountered this before and can tell you a solution within minutes. Good Luck
