> ALWAYS carry voltage regulating power strips!!

Sorry to hear about your 'bad strobe day'.

There are power strips with MOVs (metal oxide varistors...basically, surge 
protectors) in them, but it is quite a chore to regulate 120V A/C in a 
little power strip....perhaps you really don't mean 'voltage regulated', 
perhaps 'surge protected'?

I don't believe it would be a power surge that killed your strobe...perhaps 
the outlet was wired incorrectly?
