DS125 Modeling light ?

I thought I'd ask first instead of trying to disassemble it and see how far I get.

Is the modeling light on the Ikelite DS125 user replacable or do I need to send it to Ike for a watertight repair?

thanks

It is user replaceable, but the last time I opened up my Ike housing, I was scared to death to put it back together. Ike? Any tips?

Replacing the modeling light bulb is very simple and described in the instruction book. Simply unscrew the center post which may require a coin or screwdriver, lift out this post, and invert the front so bulb drops out. Put a little lube on the "O" ring and reverse this procedure to install new bulb.

Early strobes had a brighter bulb that consumed more battery power. We have used a less powerful bulb the last year to conserve battery power for more flashes. #0042.56 is the brighter bulb; #0042.34 is presently used and recommended.

Thanks Ike, I'm sure others were wondering about that too.

Yes, thanks for the info and Kudos on a great flash.
