rcktpwrd Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Has anyone seen or used strobes in a string like these: 5mm strobes I'm looking to add strobes to our mega tree next year and maybe a few other places in the display... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ItsMeBobO Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Expected them to be non-dimmable. But it also says three second warm up. I would like to test these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BMurray Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Ordered 3 sets. Hopefully, it looks as cool in person as it does in the video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Simmons Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 A lady from Texas, whose judgement I trust, has these and says they look like mini xenon strobes when they fire and the effect is striking - even from a distance. Her advice is essentially: Buy! Buy! Buy! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k6ccc Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 The two links appears to be the same product. Christmas Light Emporium had the string for $16.99 as their Pre-sale (delivery in six months), and All things Christmas has them in stock for $11.17, so I ordered for strings from them. Free shipping even. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am planning on three sets, so 150 lights wrapped on my mega tree 150' long. This will leave me one spare for a backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. P Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 My mega tree is 48 strands of red, blue and green so this will add some white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dibblejr Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 (edited) I had been looking at them but couldn't figure out the difference and then after seeing this thread and the lights in the video above they all flash so I could only assume the other set of 100 were all strobes. Guess I will know when they get here. Mine is 64 of green and blue and then I added the red C9's after my hook head broke and they all came crashing down. The new frying pan hook head can take the AL storage heat and the weight. Thought about adding white and use shimmer until I seen the video above. Thanks for the info JR Edited January 1, 2018 by dibblejr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
