Comments/Questions: Bill Vondane of CreatiVair has a new low profile
streamlined Strobe/LED position light, the answer to my prayers. Bill says
my already installed Grimes Powerpack ex '79 Grumman Cougar is too
powerful for his strobe tubes and he wants to sell me a police style
powerpak as "a matched umit". Also he will not give warranty on his
strobes if used with Grimes.
Is he right, or just trying to sell me stuff I do not need? Specs. of his
powerpack ans strobe unit are on the Creativair Website.
I have studied your book on the subject, but am still unsure.

Flash tubes are rather inefficient and will get pretty hot
when operated within ratings. It's entirely possible that
one of super, eye-ball frying strobe systems would deliver too
much energy per flash. Without doing bench testing or analyzing
his choice of parts for flash-tubes, I'd be hard pressed to
offer any better information.
