Ikelite customer service kudos

I had read about Ikelite's great customer service, and just had the opportunity to experience it first hand. Over a Christmas dive in Puerto Galera my DS-125 flooded, and I sent it in and they returned a brand new unit within a week.

It's service like this that will keep me a lifetime customer - although I hope not to do this too frequently <G>

I bet Ikelite hopes you dont have to do it too many times must cost them a lot each year to do all these replacements and repairs.

Last Year my Sea and Sea flooded, YS 120 .. i cleaned out the battery compartment .. popped in some new batteries .. and off i went. The flood was because I left some old rechargeable batteries inside that exploded (well one exploded the rest were actually ok) but since then I have not used rechargeables, I just don't use them friendly, they are always getting speed drained and speed charged, they dont like that, and they last maybe 1/2 a year with my consumption rate

what happens to the graveyard 125's .. do they get refitted and sold off for cheap ?

Hey everyone,

Just a short note to confirm what everyone is saying about Ikelite's great customer service. I mailed my (2) slightly beat to hell DS-125 strobes back to Ikelite recently to update the electronics for ETTL2 compatability fro my Canon 20d. Strobes came back today with new battery packs, new external cases, new conectors etc, all at no extra charge from Ikelite. Wow... just like new and ready for my Cayman Brac trip in a week. Thank you Ike, I was already a customer for life, how about I just adopt all you guys.
