Guest wbottomley Posted September 30, 2011 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.
evan.a Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 Wow, never thought about that. Thanks William.
jimswinder Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 Got any video of it in action?Would be nice to see a side by side comparison of one regular and one reflective...

Surfing4Dough Posted October 1, 2011 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 Posted October 1, 2011 Good morning wonderful folks.The pie pans above is another idea too.Yes... this is something strictly for Halloween.
Surfing4Dough Posted October 1, 2011 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.
Guest wbottomley Posted October 1, 2011 Posted October 1, 2011 When the wind settles down here within the next night or two, I'll shoot another video of it using a fog machine.
