columbus27 Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Does anyone have any strobes for sale or know where I can get some good ones? I want to try them out to see if I like them before I make a large investment in strobes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

columbus27 Posted October 26, 2012 Author Share Posted October 26, 2012 Does anyone know of video that shows the difference in speed between the fast and slow Xenon strobes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradW22 Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Not sure on the video.. but I can tell you that you DO NOT want LED Strobes.. Stick with Xenon.. I also got my strobes from Christmaslightshow.com and they are great and have excellent customer service. I had a couple strobes that didnt work when i tested them and they sent me 3 more no questions asked. GREAT COMPANY!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
columbus27 Posted October 26, 2012 Author Share Posted October 26, 2012 Did you get the 1 per second or 3 x per second? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wbottomley Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Does anyone know of video that shows the difference in speed between the fast and slow Xenon strobes?The description of the strobes should tell you the speed. One flash per second versus 3-4 flashes per second.Here's my original review. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazydave Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 What are the really bright White lights that some people have on their displays? For example the ones that cld_Kevin has on the corners of the eves.... they appear to be a bright as stobes but they don't stobe....(of if they so they only flash once) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rainyoregonchristmas Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 I'm using standard cheap dumb LED floods to emulate Kevin's effect.As far as strobes, I picked some up from a Fred Meyer, (Kroger everywhere else) today. They are by Seasonal Visions International 5W 55mA 120v AC 60 Hz. Meh... not really impressed, they have a standard light socket base which is ok, but means I have to build a string with both C9 and standard bulb sockets. They are not really bright and just don't have a whole lot of POP when they go off, which is a downside. Yet, I think they will kinda work for my display this year. I have some others I am going to mix them in with. I believe they are 2-3 per sec. I definitely would not choose them again. Also they are NOT sealed by any means. I'm gonna keep them under the eves and out of the rain. They only reason I got them is they were clearancing out the Halloween supplies so they were cheap and I didn't have to worry about shipping or them arriving on time.

The video wasn't working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rainyoregonchristmas Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 CrazyDave, sadly no, not like that. I tend to haunt the clearance and discount bins and use whatever I can find that fits my scant budget. The ones I am using are actually some off brand landscape LED spot light. They are corded and have a detatchable lawnstake which I modified to mount to my eves. It's not perfect, nor exactly what I wanted, but for this year they will work.
