Can you replace the flash tube on this? What is a reasonable life expectancy for this?

Yes, it is a regular round flash tube. That and the modeling light can both be replaced. I've taken hundreds of shots with it in my small studio setup and I expect many hundreds more before needing to replace a bulb. Don't trigger it off a speedlite that strobes before the actual flash or you'll confuse this one and render it useless.

hi You can replace the current bulbs with another stronger as I did. I'm not used to video. I used it for photography. But I expect it served

Sorry. I don't know. I had a question last time and I called the manufacturer. The customer service representative didn't help me and told me to ask the vendor that I bought the flash from. I bought my flash on Amazon from a company in the US. They probably do offer a limited warranty, but I don't have any information on it. The flash works great for me. Plus it is cheap.

Hi there. If you're handy with tools, you MIGHT be able to replace it, assuming you could find the same 5-watt LED part. But it's not designed to be replaced. However, not to worry! Unless there are manufacturing defects, you should get many, many thousands (25,000 - 30,000) of hours of use from this bulb - LEDs for all practical purposes last "forever" and don't need changing due to burning out like regular incandescent and flourescent bulbs. By the time this would wear out, in 15-20 years for most people, LED lamps will be dirt cheap and universal so replacement of the whole fixture would be the way to go. In short - don't worry about it! It may, however, have manufacturing defects - but that's what warranties are for.

I don't know. I would think it should. I had different problems with a different flash. I enocurage you to make sure the flash and cord are pushed all the way in and firmly seated on the connectors. They only have to be off a very little bit to mess up the connections. You can also make sure all the connecting surfaces are completely clean. Otherwise, you may have a bad cord.

The one I had before lasted over 5 years. I did have to replace the tube as it broke where it connects to the housing. I just ordered a replacement and with a bit of effort was able to fix it myself. And I am not mechanically.

The issue I had was the camera didn't recognize the battery anymore and I can't prove it but my flash stopped working also. I wouldn't purches this item.

I bought two. At this point both are strobing and need to be replaced. So I guess the answer is no and also it doesn't matter because product is junk

I'm unfamiliar with where replacement parts are sold. Considering the cost of this airsoft pistol, I doubt you will find any worth the cost. If it's a major mechanism, I suggest you replace the entire thing.

I have Yongnuo flash. I use this as an extra flash. It is ok. Quality is fair. Having said that stick with Pocket Wizard. Little expensive but reliable. I have four of these and never had a problem.

Bulbs never usualy fail on flash make sure there's power at flash first. Bulbs are not replaceable and if they are it's cheaper to buy a new flash.

The light tube last 5 or more years. They do not need to be replaced after each shoot.

Tough question. I'm 60, the flashlight I put this in belonged to my dad so I have no idea how old it is. I would say if the bulb you are replacing screws in this probably will not work. If it is secured by a collar it should be fine. The nice thing about buying from Amazon is it's easy to return stuff if it doesn't work. This replacement kit is great. I recently took the light on a camping trip and easily illuminated areas 200 feet away. A good way to revitalize old gear. HTH

That's the problem with this flashlight. They don't offer a replacement bulb. They should publicize this fact before anyone has to buy this item.

Not sure. I don't think the internals are replaceable, and the kits sold for fixing lamps may not be compatible at the mechanical level. You may have to buy a new one.
