The ACL MK2 strobes are now available fully built and sealed up ready to put a cover on, connect up and set epileptics off. BenBrown is organising these to be built in China and exclusively available through this bulk buy.
I have tentatively called these ACL Mk3 strobes as they are based on the Mk2 but are fully built units.
They are sealed as per standard pixels and all that is required to run them is applying 5V either direct from power supply, via a relay or off a dc channel of a dimmer. If using a dimmer then it is recommended that a capacitor is added to the channel as not all dc dimmers turn on 100% and it can cause the circuitry to reset. (details will go in the wiki on how to connect things up)
Pricing is expected to be
$US37.50 for a string of 50 strobes at 20cm spacing. This is dependent on getting sufficient interest.
$US45.00 for a string of 50 strobes at 50cm spacing. This is dependent on getting sufficient interest.
$US10.00 for 50 C9 covers to suit strobes.
The C9 covers do not need to be ordered if not desired.
Delivery is not included in the price. Shipping will probably be to 1 location in Australia and 1 location is USA and distributed from there. Shipping costs will be worked out after numbers are organised.
The bulk will will run between now and Monday 3rd August 2015 9am Australian EST. Any payments not made by then will not be included. Delivery from China is likely to be around the last week of August.
The strobes will ONLY be available through the bulk buy and won't be available after this date unless a further bulk buy is organised.
More info will get posted here as I get to it.
The video shows about 30 of the string of 50 sitting on concrete with no C9 covers on them.

The photos don't do the sealing justice.

- String of 50 draws between 1.2A and about 2.5A depending on how the timing of the "random" flashes works out.
- The supplied cable is heavy enough to run a string of 50 without any power injection or anything
- A long length of lead wire isn't supplied as the requirement will vary depending on the installation. The choice of wire will depend on the length that it needs to be.
- The prototype string has grey and grey/stripe wire. Hopefully I can get this changed to red and black or another set of non-similar colours.
- Spacing between strobe nodes is nominally 200mm and all strings will be made at the same spacing
