ken collins Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Is it possible to fire a strobe light, just one flash with an lor controller. Guess I just want to know where to trigger it from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Jones Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 yesit all depends on the strobe - in 2007 i used strobes that were constantly powered 12v and used a 120v relay to trigger the firing wireI am not sure where to get the strobes, as I had purchased and built them several years ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
