Help My Ikelite DS-125

2 posts
  1. I just purchased a new Ikelite DS 125,

    When I see carefully at the flash tube,

    it is not flawless glass, there some glass like

    melted like shown in the photo here.

    I am afraid this melted glass could break the flash tube

    it self.

     

    Does your DS 125 has this mark also ?

    Will it getting bigger ?

    Thanks,

     

    Regards,

  2. The flash tube is made out of blown glass. What you are looking at is a nipple that is left from the process of the glass being blown. It is not anything to worry about. It will not get bigger. The flash tube in all DS-125s has it.
