Default 750watt Strobe...wow

I just got a 750watt strobe WITH a Chauvet strobe controller...WOW...
The lightning is incredible. The strobe has a mono cable attachment to daisychain more strobes in a row. I paid $52 for the strobe and $22.95 for the controller. I am creating a thundertrack to play to illuminate our graveyard.

Those strobes range in price from $89 to $150 so $52 bucks is a great deal.
I am going to order another one for the other side of the house (although I probably dont need it). He has them as a "buy it now" and shipping is reasonable at $12.95

I got them on Ebay, the company name is sixstardj and you can find them by searching for their name on ebay. It came in about 5 days and they had great communication with me. The standard strobe you buy at party city or Spirit are 35 watts, so you can imagine the difference. Once I get the thunder track done I will make it available to all of you.

Default Yea...and the price is good too!

I am working on a video but wont have my graveyard set up, its pretty blinding. It is able to link to other strobes via a mono cable so ill have two, one on each side of the house to provide lightning to the graveyard, it will flash 14 times a second when the booms hit. It also does random flashes to make it even more "real". The Chauvet strobe controller is cool to as it really only picks up the larger "booms" from the audio. It has an adjustment knob for sensitivity and flashes.

The deminsions (strobe) are 14 X 10.5 x 8 its fairly big and heavy and is 120v (plug it in)

If you need more info, let me know as I will work on a video to show the brightness.

Melty
