How to remplace push button with a on/off switch on 600 watts flash strobe ?

Hi guys,

 

I' got new flashs strobes that use 'push buttons' to switch from on to off, which is very anoying to says the least...everyday.

I need to remplace the Push Button switch so it can always be 'ON' or always 'OFF", to avoid to push that button everyday.

 

You'll say ''wow'' this guy is so lazy not to push a switch.... the problem is not push the switch is how I got to do it.

I'm doing cars photography so I got 4 flash from 15 to 25 feets up in the air all the time, so each morning I got to use a large latters to carrefully push the button ON.

It take 10 minutes to do but my biggest problem is security side of it....

 

Most flash head on the market use 'switch' that kinda toggle from 'On/OFF' This is a safe and a simple solution.

So when you leave the switch to 'ON' you can unplug it at the end of the day, and replug it the next morning to start again it will still be 'ON.

 

Here picture of the board.

Would be lovely to have an expert to check out this board on how it can be modified.

 

Best regards,

    If you start with it unplugged, hold the button, and plug it in, does it do what you want it to do? If so, simply put a thin wire across the pins. You probably won't even need to solder if you can give…
