Anyone got any experience with the FS 4400 strobe?

I bought one years ago finally had installed, the bulb lasted 5 hours at best estimate. I can't find any data on bulb longevity. It could be that the long storage and jostling around may be a factor in such a short life expectancy, but at 40 bucks including shipping it$ not looking like a good deal long term.

Ron, From what I've learned, the fragile element in a strobe system is usually the capacitor(s) used for the rapid charging and discharging. Are you absolutely sure it's the bulb?

I am (guessing) pretty sure as I see no filament and I run an ohm meter across the prongs and it showed nothing. Those things do have a filament right? its not some fancy gas plasma gizmo. I don't remember what it looked like before I had it mounted kinda expected it to last at least 10 years or so.
I'll try to upload a close up photo of it a bit later as it is sitting by the other computer. I can still cancel my order with aircraft spruce it ain't shipped yet.

Ron,

Yes, it is supposed to have a filament. I have two strobe units (left wing tip and right). Good one has the filament, burned out one
doesn't. Luckily, I have two sets of Nav Lights (an extra set), so I swapped flash strobe bulbs. Now they both work.

Okay that's good, now if I can figure out who else sales these bulbs I guess I can get it for a fraction of the cost. I a, wondering about the probability of this being a custom bulb just for the FS1440.
I am gonna load up a photo and if someone recognizes this as a generic bulb for 5 bucks I'll owe him her a beer. I'd prefer a her but you know how it is.............

Please do not post un-resized pictures. It makes it almost impossible to read the posts without scrolling back and forth, resizing the page, and other hoop-jumpings that would be unnecessary if the pictures were simply resized.

Thank you

Here's the way I resize my photos. Click on Windows "Paint" icon to
open the program. At the top left corner there's a drop down control
tab, click on open. Select the original picture file. Click on
resize. Both dimensions show as 100, highlight one and change it to
about 35 - 40 amd click OK (the other dimension follows the changed
one). If the pic fits my screen I click the drop down tab and click
Save As. A number of files appear and I use jpg and name and save it to
the permanent file location. You can reduce a multiple MB file to a few
hundred KB. Smaller still if the photo comes up less than the computer
screen size.

Resize is at the top left on the home tab. It's a column of crop,
resize, rotate. This program takes any file, like BMP which is a memory
hog, and you can save it in jpg. Do you know if you can do that with
the Windows resizer. Probably pretty similar since they're both
programs of MS Windows. The procedure is similar, open file, resize, save.

Your FireStar is going to be a hot rod like the FireFly w/447 is! When
are you getting it?

Dave,
I just got off the phone with Rotax Rick a few minutes ago. He is going to be building the 670 for me..... It is going to use a Exhaust like what is use on the 618's.......... The FireStar II is just about finished other than beefing up the cage for the 670, and I am installing a mount for my new Aveo PowerBurst Strobes........ These Strobes are Awesome and well worth the price of around $400.00 for the Pair

The 1st Picture is of the FireStar II as it is Now

If you're still running Windows xp, there's an even simpler method than
the Image Resizer program (that I used for a long time).

Find the photo file you want to attach (using Windows Explorer or any
other file manager you like). Point at the file with your mouse, and
right-click. You'll get a popup menu. Find 'send to', and hover over
that with your mouse. You'll get a second popup menu; on that one,
left-click on 'mail recipient.' Windows will ask if you want smaller
images, and give you a choice (even 'large' will only be around 150kb,
max). Windows will then create a new email in your mail software with
the file attached; you just fill in the address, subject, etc.

This sounds complicated, but only takes about 3 seconds to do.

I'd check for you on Vista, too, but my Vista system is down in the
hangar & I'm not. Smile

Dick makes good stuff. I have Whelen Strobe/Nav Lights. Been on the airplane about 19 years and 3,100+ hours. Whelen is like David Clark, expensive, but they stand behind their products and willingly repair and turn them around quickly. Before I flew my MKIII I blew an internal fuse or something inside the power supply for the Whelen setup. Told the Whelen folks what I had done (reverse polarity while seeing if they really worked). Whelen fixed my box and shipped it back to me with no charges. Side note: It is important to operate the Whelen system about once a month or so. If you let it sit idle too long the capacitors go belly up for some reason.

Agree completely… My Kuntzleman 103 unit has been running well over nine years… zero problems… He is known for “overbuilding” his stuff… and
standing 100% behind it if there is a defect. His products are significantly less expensive than comparable units from the big outfits…

Worth what ye paid fer it…

You guy's should be talking to Dick Kuntzleman. I have a pair of his that has been in use for 5 years with no problems.
