So I am still adding to my breadth of knowledge when it comes to things going wrong and right in almost all things photography, hence why I am coming to the knower-abouters...
I have a Sea Life strobe and put hot batteries in it Saturday morning before we were heading to the boat. As normal after I had them in I turned it on to ensure there was not problem. Initially the blue light came on and I could hear the light "warming up" but after about 4 seconds I heard and audible pop and the entire strobe went dead.
I have contacted Sea Life and I am sure they will get it handled but my question to the group is anyone know what it was? It almost sounded like what a normal bulb sounds like when it blows but I had not even test flashed the unit so I wouldn't think that was it.
