For decades, I've heard the exact opposite, always turn the flash off with a fully charged capacitor. It makes the capacitor (the guts of the flash) last longer.

I use a 550 EX, and from somewhere in the distant past, I recall reading or
hearing that it is best to fire a flash unit, then IMMEDIATELY turn it off,
rather than turning it off while fully powered up. Something about it is
better for the internal electrics of the flash, or something along those
lines.  I have turned my flash off like this for many years.... just
wondering if *I* am the only one doing this, or if it is even necessary?
