|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board strobe malfunction Scott Thornton, Student/Intern towson | md | usa | Posted: 10:43 AM on 02.21.09 ->> WHile i was shooting a basketball game the other evening, my strobes decided to fire continuous without me shooting. this is the second time it has happened the season. I turned them off then restarted them. it happened again. Any ideas what the issue can be? the strobes are Elinchorom style 400bx so I am told by the university. scott  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

If the socket ground is bad it can cause issues.  This post is:  Informative (1) | Funny (0) | Huh?
