pdowns Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 A single bulb is $479!Here's a 250 joule strobe for only $4,800. This would be more cost effective since you'd get almost 17 times the intensity for a mere 10 times the price.http://www.unilux.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=49&products_id=421&osCsid=dc312173b6ae52d02b5049f9f32ae75aFAA Flashing Runway End Identification lights might be another consideration but it would be a bummer if a plane landed in my yard.

Steve Constantino Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 NO! That price is for a 4 pack. It's about $119.00 each.Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul sessel Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 I just put up a video on You Tube for comparison of our LED and Xenon strobes at:http://www.youtube.com/user/creativedisplays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al in Raleigh Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 It seems CDI is now offering a c9 xenon strobe that is similar to Darryl's that is sealed. I'm ordering some and hope they work out better than Darryl's. I believe the pre-order price on the strobes are $3.95 each. Since these are xenon strobes the flash randomness should be better than the LEDs. Again, I hope so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Xenon strobes give much more of a power full intense flash. The LED just looks like a blinking light to me.Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dad02 Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Bought 24 strobes from Action over the summer with the weep holes. Lost 6 of them due to moisture, some where my fault mounting them at an angle that allowed rain into the weep holes. They've been sitting inside for two weeks and they still haven't worked.

eldoradoboy Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 I got 25 of the christmaslightshow strobed in july.. which are the new ones.. I put them up in mid november and took them down today... all 25 still work good.. 5 of them inb fact were on the ground and buried under snow the last couple weeks.. those 5 had a tiny bit of condensation on the inside, however they still work fine.. I did not melt or drill any holes anywhere in them......-Christopher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgardner518 Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 I know this question depends on the "HOW MANY" factor. It all depends on how many strobes people have but on "AVERAGE", or "GENERAL RULE". How many strobes do yous put in, per channel and how many channels do must people do of strobes?

eldoradoboy Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 I had 8 strobes in my mini mega-tree, 8 in a regular yard tree by the street and I had 9 laying across my yard grid.... for 2010 im going to increase that number.. they looked good but i think for real WOW factor I want to have at least twice that many.. I had each element on a separate channel although I dont see any reason i couldnt have had all 25 on one channel...-Christopher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgardner518 Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Has anyone ever used the Strobes from Wowlights before? they seam to look more waterproof!https://www.wowlights.com/ProductDetail.asp?Category=14&Product=264 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhays Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Good find! About 50 cents cheaper than Darryl's sale price. I am interested to hear if anyone has experience with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgardner518 Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Here's what I found. This appears to be the NON-sale prices.Action Lighting- $5.06 EachChristmas Light show- $6.99 EachCDI- $5.25 EachWow Lights- $6.49 EachIs there any other place I'm forgetting?From what I heard Action lighting's, and Christmas Light Show's are not the way to go. And CDI's seam to be winning the verdict. But what about Wow Lights? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhays Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 I have 150 from Christmas Light Show and have had good luck with them. This is the first year CDI is offering incandescent strobes, so they are an unknown. The action lighting strobes are only 1 flash per second, so a little slow for most of our tastes.Darryl has a sale every year where you can get them for $6.00 each.

This year I had ~60 of their strobes and lost none. (also had 30 CDI LED strobes and lost zero this year and had 10 CLS strobes where we lost 5 over the last two years)IMHO strobes making it through the year require a little thought & planning... and a little luck.-Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two years ago they were the 1 flash per second type.-Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanward Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Anyone knows how the viewing angle of WOW light's strobes are?I like Darryl's strobes because the viewing angle is very wide, so you don't have to point the strobe to the viewers. They can just hang down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 I purchased 12 strobes (c7 socket size) from AL last year (2009) and they flashed ~3 times per second. I just received my order of 36 strobes (c7 socket size) from AL this year and these only flash 1 per second. I know they ran out during the holidays and it looks like their new batch is the slower flashing type. :{ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
