The Best Strobe Light

Buying Guide

A strobe light is a neat machine that emits flashes of light at set intervals. Individuals can use them to add a sensory element to their party or to draw attention to a specific decoration, such as a black cauldron on Halloween. DJs often set strobe lights up to encourage people to get up and dance. If you are in the market for a strobe light, there are a few things you’ll want to know.

Decide whether you require a unit that is heavy and stationary or light and portable. If you plan on having regular events in the same location, a stationary light is fine. Otherwise, you’ll want a strobe light that is easy to carry.

Check to see if the unit comes with mounting brackets. Some models have these brackets and can be placed on both a wall and a roof. They also rests on desks and tables in the event that you prefer not to put them up high.

Determine whether you prefer strobe lights with white lights or a unit with colored lights, such as the Luditek Sound Activated Party Lights With Remote. White lights are great for lighting up a specific area, while colored lights complement a host of party themes.

Look to see how many settings the strobe light has. You want to be able to control the speed of the flash, as well as choose between a few different sound-activated settings and several different light patterns. Strobes with colored lights may offer a choice between single colors or give you the option of selecting a combination of colors.

Check for any extras that put the strobe light above other models. For example, the Litake Party Disco Lights With Remote not only comes with a second strobe light, but it also features a remote for each light that is capable of changing the light speed and sound settings from across the room.

• Individuals with photosensitive epilepsy should avoid being around strobe lights, as they can cause seizures.
• Placement is everything.  Make sure that you set or mount the strobe light in a way that it does not shine in the eyes of the guests who attend your special event.
• If you opt to mount your strobe light outdoors, you’ll want to erect a cover over it to protect it from the elements.
• Many people report that using the strobe light has helped deter certain pests, like squirrels, bats and mice.
• Look for strobe lights that use LED lights, as these conserve energy and reduce your overall electric bill.
• Since there are different types of strobe lights, it is important to compare similar models when looking at price. For example, some models are only equipped with white lights, yet one may be slightly heavier than the other, making it cost a little bit more. If you’re looking at models with colored lights, you’ll find the Litake Party Disco Lights With Remote is higher in price than the Luditek Sound Activated Party Lights With Remote, due to its extra strobe light and coordinating remote.
