I have CreativAir strobes on my 8 and they just stopped strobing! Have done a few initial checks, power to power pack ok, fuse ok, circuit between trigger and cathode on each head ok. tried to call Creativair at 719-510-0854 but no answer and web site doesn't appear to be active.
Anybody know if they are still in business? how to reach? most important, any thoughts on what could be wrong, how to fix or replace?
Appreciate any input or help

I haven't seen the CreativAir website in years, but I seem to recall that their strobe power supply was a rebadged Nova X-pak unit. If no luck with CreativAir, you might try these guys for parts or a new power supply.

I used an X-pak 904; it's been in use for 6+ years and 1000 hrs, it's still flashing...

I had the same issue. I have mine on the 7A installed on the passenger side on the Vans bracket. After opening up the baggage bulkhead I was moving the wire bundle and it started working. Upon further review it turned out the fuse was loose and was not making a good connection. I messed with the contacts and made it fit tighter and back in action. It is the auto type plug in fuse.

BTW they stopped working within the firs 10 hours of flying. At 46 hours now no problems since.

ALso when John says 6 years he means it and lots of flying!
