for weeks now here in NC. If it were buried in a wing stored in the
rafters of a hanger, the temps could be much higher still. Could that be
the nexus of the problem?
-If the strobe is using cheap caps...well, I'd just be upset about that one.

Which speaks to the value of conducting tests per DO-160.
One cannot attract many customers in the type certificated
aircraft world without jumping these hoops. Further, given
the exceedingly small fraction of the world represented by
aviation circles, it's impossible to keep the astute mechanics
from knowing about poorly crafted products or less than
helpful customer support. Stack these notions with the
idea that really good capacitors are not that much more
expensive than mediocre devices. Given the blood, sweat and
tears sacrificed to the altars of regulation, it's
unlikely that a company like Grimes or Whelen is going
to compound their grief-to-market by cutting corners in
the selection of components.
