I have not seen how the Einstein is put together but his bees are actually designed poorly and I really dont know how there aren\'t more problems with them then it seems.
From the pictures I have seen of a bee taken apart it is missing simple basic components that you would find in other lights. The big example is an isolation transformer.
I found this article from 2002 far more informative and credible than your paragraph above. The second half discusses the AlienBees units and why they are a great design:
DId you come to the conclusion that the AlienBees were \"designed poorly\" by yourself based on the omission of the fundamentally essential isolation transformer? If not, then please share with us your source of kool-aid provider so that we can steer clear.
Now I love how Paul will sit there and tell you that he has 1% of 1% failure rates blah blah blah but if you actually look around and read how many people have problems with the bees, VML, and everything else, you will see that we are being poured the kool-aid and everyone is drinking it.
Yes, please look around and read and tell us. Can you give us an accurate failure rate for each product? Can you also give us an accurate failure rate of all other manufacturers\' products so that we can compare? Otherwise, your vagueness doesn\'t help anyone, does it?
Their biggest flaw is not working the bugs out before it is released. Einsteins, PLM\'s, and just about anything else has had its flaws that could of been worked out with a little more testing.
The company improved their products. I think that\'s great. In hindsight, you can say that about every product that had an imperfection.
If you read his \"FORUMS\" board and listen to the help he gives people, it is just crazy! A guy had the outlets fall out of his VML and paul told him to super glue it in.... WHHHHAAAAAATTTTT? Are you kidding me? Super Glue? How about replace it. He should let his people, that he hires, to do his work, NOT HIM. He is a very passionate person about his wares and he SHOULD be but he looks like a giant ass when someone posts something about his stuff and he just jumps all over them.
Now you just sound like you have a vendetta against the man. If you really want to be credible, I think you should stick to the discussion about studio lights rather than trying to start an anti-PCB campaign.
