Okay, so I bought a cord for my 120 volt FireBall beacon I got the other day and shared here. I hooked up the light correctly, but when I plugged it in, I saw one flash and then just heard the capacitors firing. The strobe tube doesn't look like it went out and the fuse didn't go. The tube just won't flash. This is leaving me stumped. I thought it might be the cord because when I got it, it had a tag on there that said:
WARNING
RELIABLE GROUNDING CAN ONLY BE ACHIEVED WHEN CONNECTED TO AN EQUIVALENT RECEPTACLE MARKED "HOSPITAL GRADE".
I don't know what to do. I hope I just didn't kill my beacon
.
Update 12/6/06: Went to a local safety equipment dealer, found out strobe tube was bad and got replacement.
