    The newer flash should last for hopes of 1,000,000 flashes i heard and the guy who designed this on the other software and forum was very generous to share with people on TGC and this forum. Great job andygg1986 on bringing it to GSF.

        Wow, that's awesome. I'm curious, will this work with GC2s that have the new superflash installed or only with the older flash versions ?

        How long do people figure a super flash from foresight should last?

          Their original flashes were supposedly rated for 30-40k shots and they claim the superflash lasts 6x longer, so about 200k shots. At 100 shots per day that's 5.5 years.

          I have started a new topic for the new flash design. Please see it for all relevant information and ask any questions there.
          I have a batch of flashes assembled, tested, and ready to go. I have worked with Tretee on the JNPG forum on this design. He is a very skilled engineer with

              Thanks for the info on the PCB place. I assemble them myself because there aren't too many components, but their prices on bare PCBs looks competitive, especially for quick turn.

              Having come late to the party, not sure if this thread is still going. I have replaced the bulbs on two boards, one works, the other doesn't. Going by this thread I will be monitoring how long the working board lasts, as it seems the trigger coils fail at some point. The board that doesn't work I suspect the trigger coil died and now considering replacing it.
