Anybody have a tester for a Whelen power supply?  Both of my strobes 

blew this last month.  Fuse intact.  No obvious wiring loose or frayed.  

I have 12 volts power at switch module.  I replaced the strobes and they 

worked for a while, then it appears they have blown again.  At $160 

bucks for new bulbs, I find it hard to just replace them again without 

testing the power supply. 



Any suggestions? 



Robin: great story.   I had a 205 knot ground speed coming back from the 

Texas Tech game to Forth Worth area Saturday night.   1 hr and  a couple 

minutes.   25 knot direct tailwind.     It helped make up for the 

whipping the boys took from the Aggies.

I don't know if your strobes blew or just quit working, however I had a similar problem with my whelens and the tech said to increase the size of the ground wire. It worked !!!
