ken collins Posted January 23, 2009 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?
Dr. Jones Posted January 23, 2009 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
