I can't say enough good things about Ikelite and their service. I bought a set of DS-125s a couple of years ago and I started experiencing some problems with my batteries keeping a charge. After fully charging them, occasionally they would come up as completely dead after only being attached to the strobe (unused) for a few hours. So I sent both back for warrantee repair. The ended giving me brand new flash tubes and upgraded my older Ni-Cad battery packs to the newer NiMH packs, all covered under warantee.
However, I neglected to tell them not to ship back to me via UPS (Universal Piece of you know what). My fault, I guess. As I expected, I got hit with their "brokerage" fee which ended up being 43% of the stated value of the shipment.
Yay Ikelite. Boo UPS.
