Common GOSSEN Equipment Faults We Fix
Based on 30+ years of repair data, these are the most frequent failure modes we see in GOSSEN equipment arriving at our workshop.
- ✓Sensor photocell degradation and reading drift — GOSSEN CdS and silicon sensors degrade with age and extended UV exposure, particularly in meters stored in bright environments or used in high-altitude locations. Calibration drifts 5-15% annually, rendering exposure readings unreliable for critical production work.
- ✓LCD display pixel failure and segment dropout — GOSSEN DIGISIX and digital meters experience LCD segment loss due to internal LCD panel degradation, cold solder joints on display connectors, or moisture ingress into the display chamber. Pixels fail randomly or entire digit segments disappear.
- ✓Battery contact corrosion and intermittent power — GOSSEN meters exposed to humidity, salt air, or stored with old batteries develop oxide and verdigris on battery contacts. This causes intermittent power loss, erratic readings, or failure to power on despite fresh batteries installed.
- ✓Optical lens coating deterioration and internal haze — GOSSEN spot meters and optical assemblies develop internal haze, fungal growth, or coating separation on lens surfaces due to humidity exposure or age. This reduces light transmission, causes flare, and degrades measurement accuracy by 10-20%.
- ✓Shutter-speed dial calibration loss and mechanical binding — GOSSEN LUNASIX mechanical dials become stiff, sticky, or misaligned due to lubricant degradation, dirt ingress, or internal gear wear. Users experience difficulty adjusting settings, inaccurate dial readings, or dial jamming at certain speeds.
- ✓Flash sync circuit failure and no flash metering output — GOSSEN STARLITE flash meters experience failure of the flash sync circuit—the detection circuit that senses incoming flash pulses. Causes include blown transistors, failed capacitors in the sync amplifier, or damaged flash sensor components from electrical surge or age.

Frequently Asked Questions — GOSSEN Repairs
Do you repair GOSSEN equipment anywhere in India?+
Yes. Synchronics repairs the full GOSSEN product range—light meters, exposure meters, spot meters, flash meters, and precision electrical test instruments. We offer PAN India door pickup from Mumbai, Delhi, Pune, Chennai, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Bangalore, and all other major cities. All repairs are performed at our primary facility in Vadodara, Gujarat, with turnaround typically 7-10 business days.
How do you recalibrate GOSSEN light meters to factory accuracy?+
Synchronics uses ISO-traceable calibration standards and professional-grade light sources (including standard lamps traceable to national standards) to re-calibrate all GOSSEN meters. We measure photocell response across the meter's full EV range, adjust electronic compensation circuits if necessary, and provide a calibration certificate with measurement data. This ensures your meter meets factory specifications for critical production work.
My GOSSEN LUNASIX meter reads inconsistently. What could be wrong?+
Inconsistent readings in LUNASIX meters typically indicate photocell degradation, battery contact corrosion, or internal electronic drift. Synchronics diagnoses the issue by testing the CdS sensor response, checking power stability, and measuring meter calibration against reference standards. Most intermittent-reading failures are resolved by photocell replacement and full re-calibration—a repair we complete in 5-7 days.
Can you repair GOSSEN meters used in Indian film studios and outdoor cinematography?+
Absolutely. Indian film production relies heavily on GOSSEN light meters for exposure control. We repair GOSSEN meters damaged by dust (common on location shoots), humidity, temperature shock, and impact—all frequent in Indian studio and outdoor conditions. We also calibrate meters for high-altitude locations and bright sunlight conditions common in India, ensuring reliable metering across diverse environments.
What is your warranty on GOSSEN meter repairs?+
Synchronics provides 12 months' parts and labor warranty on all GOSSEN repairs. This covers failed components we replace and ensures the repaired meter meets specified accuracy standards. If calibration or function fails within the warranty period due to our repair, we re-service the meter at no charge. Extended warranty options are available for mission-critical meters.
How do I send my GOSSEN unit for repair?+
Pack the unit securely and courier it to our Vadodara workshop. Include a note with the fault description and your contact details. We will log it into our system and WhatsApp you a job number within 24 hours of receipt. Doorstep pickup is available in Vadodara, Ahmedabad, Surat, Mumbai, and Pune.
What is the cost of repairing a GOSSEN drive or PLC?+
Repair cost depends on the model and the fault. We offer a free diagnosis — once we identify the fault, we provide a fixed quotation before proceeding. Typical repairs cost 20–40% of the new unit price. We will never repair without your approval.
What warranty do you provide on GOSSEN repairs?+
All repaired units carry a 6-month comprehensive warranty covering the same fault and related issues. If the fault recurs within the warranty period, we repair it free of cost.
Do you provide a no-fix, no-fee guarantee?+
Yes. If we cannot repair your GOSSEN unit after diagnosis, you pay only the diagnosis fee (₹500–₹1,500 depending on the product). The unit is returned to you at no additional charge.
