Comments about Quantum Instruments QF30 Flashtube:
I purchased the Quantum Trio for my Canon camera and I have never been happier. I just fear that with all the use I get, the bulb will burn out in the middle of a wedding or important event... so I purchased this spare bulb. I had no need to use it yet so I have not tested it but knowing the QFlash quality, I know I am in for a quality product.

Comments about Quantum Instruments QF30 Flashtube:
I bought the flashtube to replace the one in my Quantum T5DR. They last forever and are extremely durable. I'm rough with my equipment and have never had a problem with the flashtubes.

Comments about Quantum Instruments QF30 Flashtube:
I've been a photographer since 1981 and I shoot everything from magazine stories, weddings, grand openings, wildlife, scenic and I always use a Quantum over my SB800. I would give the QF30 bulb 5 stars if it were $35, but if you are a photographer for hire you have to have a spare. The bulbs last a very long time, but are breakable. If shooting film consider the QF30UV but with digital it is simple to color correct in post.

Comments about Quantum Instruments QF30 Flashtube:
I have a Q Flash Model T5D-R and these lights are easy to install, do not heat up, and produce this wonderful light that evenly falls on my subjects.
I do not have an accurate knowledge of how long they last, I have only had 10 photo-sessions with this "bad boy", I'll eventually let you know when it burns out or breaks.

Comments about Quantum Instruments QF30 Flashtube:
After almost 7 years of abuse my QFlash came crashing to the ground and the bulb broke. I wonder how many more pops I could have gotten out of it? The least expensive replacement bulb was found at B&H and it merely required a quick twist and pull to remove the old and push and twist to install the new.
