The first set was done last month and was the perfect example of why speedlights are good to have on hand for emergencies. I had brought an AB800 and Vagabond II for this location session.

Got to the location, pluged the light in, set it up, turned on the Vagabond, and the light flashed a few times really fast, then went dead. The Vagabond indicator lights were working, but something inside was making funky noises, then no noises at all. I had one speedlight in my bag, and that ended up being the light that was used:

It was.
