Review on 💡 Neewer VISION5 Studio Flash Strobe Light Monolight: 400W Replacement Flash Bulb Bare Tube for Enhanced Performance by Elizabeth White

The flash bulb lasts a very long time. if you treat it with care. The problem is that the Vision 5 is an outdoor flash. While the Vision 5's base unit is very well built and can take a beating, the flashbulb itself is very fragile. Therefore, you should carry a spare tube with you. If the hose breaks or gets burned from use, you can get back to work in minutes. Otherwise you are done for today. And two things I recommend when getting a replacement flash bulb. - Try the tube in the flash immediately to make sure it is not a defect. (Actually I keep the new bulb in the flash and the still working flashbulb as a spare. Reduces the amount of work on the bulbs.) - When changing your flashbulb, heed the warnings about not touching the new tube with your bare hands. Oil, even from wiped fingertips, will greatly shorten the life of your flashbulb.
