It would be a shame to send it back if it's just a defect bulb that can easily be replaced. ...Leo

May 04, 2010 16:57 | #3 hmmm I figured the bulb would be OK since it is not out. I'll try that first. I didn't realize the bulb could be defective in that way. Thanks!

It would be a shame to send it back if it's just a defect bulb that can easily be replaced. AB's have a Off/On switch for the modeling lights. If this is not working and the modeling light will not turn off, it must be a internal issue with the switch or something. Replacing the bulb will on fix this issue. I would call Joe @ PCB and talk to him before just sending it back. He may just send out a replacement with a call tag for the defective one.
