Have you ever used this as a strobe? Does it even have the ability to strobe?

This unit does have the ability to strobe via a DMX controller. I however wouldn't recommend using it as a "strobe light". A strobe light is more of a an instantaneous on/off wash effect that would fill a room or area with intense light. The 4Play creates a moonflower pattern and is not a anywhere close to a wash or in your case a strobe light. I would suggest the Chauvet Impulse 648 LED Strobe Panel or the Chauvet Techno Strobe 168 LED Strobelight depending on the application.

I have never used it as a strobe. I usually use it on sound mode and let the music dictate what it does. If you have a DMX controller, you might get some type of strobe effect but I doubt it.One of the best lights for the money that I have come across. All you need is a little fog and this thing will fill a room with incredible streams of light!

Unless setting up scenes, the 4-play works best in sound activated mode. It will not work as a stand alone color strobe unless it's on dmx.

No I haven't - We have had a band or two come in and hook it up to a lighting board where they have more control over the lights and they look great when they do it.

The 4play is what I would call a variable fixed pattern display. This means that with each burst of light, there will be a circular pattern with more or less red, white blue or green dots not a "wash" of light. So yes, you can strobe the 4play pattern but the image reflected will be that of strobing dots not just flashes of light. The 4bar gives more of a strobed "Wash effect." The 4bar and 4play are often sold as a complete DJ lighting package. I own both and agree 100% that with both units, the 4play and 4bar combo, you don't need anything else.

Yes, it has the strobe .but you have to go through the rest of the features to get to it. I just use the flash light not th strobe.

No strobe feature , but extremely bright and great for the money! Just remember it doesn't take normal batties ! But otherwise worth the price

Not to my knowledge. I wanted them to strobe so it works nice for me. It comes with the controller and an on/off switch. They are very bright at night for the size. I'm happy with them. Great for tight spaces.

Yes you can. I have an Ikelite strobe attached to it. You have to buy the base to mount it but works great!

I don't think it will work. It is made for strobe firing not constant running.

Yes, that is the same strobe that I am using mine on - an excellent combination, I am very happy with the setup.

No, it does not have the strobe function. One straight beam strength continuously. Also, you do not have to fully "click" the button for it to turn on. Which I like very much

It would be perfect as a bicycle light since you have multiple light modes, I think strobe mode would be a little too bright for other people though

It does come with a strobe. I keep it adjusted at the upper range of speed, but that was when the line voltage was 106.6. Line voltage varies tremendously. This is an inexpensive turntable and does NOT have a synchronous "locked into 60 cycle" motor. I think it performs well for the money. :)

It's a flash strobe, but it does have a modeling light for constant light. I don't use the modeling lamp, so can't comment on it. I will say, I love this entire set up, I've got three and am about to order a third.Hope this helps

Yes it is.It strobs about 4 or 5 times a second not as bright as a party type strobe light but close. In a dark room it definitely has a disorienting effect.Buy it you will like it.

It is definitely bright enough, but I would not use it as my primary defense. It does have a strobe function but takes six clicks to get to so it takes time to get to it. This light starts in low mode and takes two additional clicks to get to high. High is very bright. You've never seen so much light come out of such a small flashlight

Yes it does have strobe setting, momentary and standard. If you give slight pressure to it, the light will emite until pressure is released. If you click the button once, it will dimly emite the light until you click it again in which it will go to bright mode. If you click the button twice quickly- it will brightly go into strobe mode until you click it once more which will turn it off.

No strobe setting...I like the simplicity, push button on end to turn off and on, also can hold it down without clicking it to flash, brightness is adjusted by turning the head... I have lights where you have to cycle through settings and find it bothersome. Although some lights have a feature where it stays on the last setting... this is just a simple tough bright 2AA light, I use it with Eneloops and it has long battery life.

No, sorry... their on a different frequency. You can use it if you manually fire the strobes... it has a built in delay mode if you want to do that... but it will only control Pocket Wizard triggers.

First, this light is not designed to strobe. It is only on or off mode. If it is in a strobe mode then you might have internal contacts that are not seating correctly or some other physical issue with this light. I do know that some of these have tail cap click issues where they have to be screwed in really tight or the clicker will not turn on the light. Of course you can always remove the battery too. I have three of these and so far all three have functioned fine. I have bought 2 others as gifts and one had an issue of the clicker not turning on the light. Making sure it was as tight as possible stopped that issue. And, you could return it to have it replaced to. Good luck!
