Flashpoint 1220M - Dead on Arrival

Purchased 2 rovelight and 2 flashpoint 1220m. Rovelight does its job as per the specs so far.
Both flashpoint 1220M blew fuse(s) and started very light smoke on the front.
Now I feel like what some other members posted about house brands are always not a good investment is true.

At the price point of $199, I still want to try out one last time. Main purpose is back fill light or side light.

Anyone will still buy even after 2 DOA of an electronic brand?

I have 2 flashpoint 620's and a 320 as well as a Rovelight. Bulletproof. You got a couple of bad ones. RMA and ask that they be tested before shipping. There's bad ones no matter what brand you get.

Thanks....I ll try it again

So very sorry to see this; please email me asap, Helen@adorama.com so I can assist.

Yep, I still purchase.. I received a Profoto D1 kit back in the day and one of the flash would not operate. So your problem is not limited to house brands!!
