Video: Ikelite Strobe Lock Maintenance

Ikelite has republished a video that runs through how to clean and recondition the closure mechanism of their DS160/161 strobes equipped with NiCd, NiMH or Li-Ion battery packs. If you find the locks start feeling a bit crunchy, it shows how to clean it out. Tools required include a thin flat screwdriver, q-tips, and a lint-free microfiber cleaning cloth.
