Guest wbottomley Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 I got this idea from a Halloween store locally.Read more here: http://www.highcountrylights.com/blog/making-your-strobe-lights-reflective.htmlCosts: $7. I already had the strobe light, C9 socket, and vampire plug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surfing4Dough Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Interesting. So where do you anticipate the use of these? Would it look right still within a mega-tree like a lot of strobes are used, or more where you would want a strobe wall wash affect like I picture more in a Halloween setup?I wonder if another option that would be cheaper (<$1 each) and allow for easier mounting (maybe no mounted needed) would be to use foil pie pans. Would be a variety of sizes available. You can get these in differing quality, but the "nicer" ones would hold up through the winter just fine.

Guest wbottomley Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Good morning wonderful folks.The pie pans above is another idea too.Yes... this is something strictly for Halloween. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surfing4Dough Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 For a mega-tree set pretty far off the road (far from viewers), smaller pans (6" maybe) might magnify the effect of the strobes in your tree. Might help them stand out more. Might be a neat look. My tree isn't too far from the road so wouldn't apply here.All interesting though. Good suggestion William.
