Hello All,
In return for free tower space our ham club baby
sits a 360 ft. guyed tower. Looking for anyone with real-world
experience with Flash Technology FH-324 red/white flash tower
obstruction lighting.
In the 18 month period following new installation
all three red 'beacons' have failed. Tower mounted flash heads have a
coupling transformer, trigger transformer, RC network and flash tube.
In red beacon failures how often has trouble been
in components *other* than the flash tube?
Is it true red flash tube shelf-life is six
months or less?
What has the real-world life expectancy (in
operation) of the red flash tubes been?
FYI, trouble was isolated to the flash heads by
swapping cables at the Power Controllers. Trouble stayed with the
flash head. Flash heads failed in succession over a period of 4-5
months.

to kill.
TIA...
