I’m look for a microlight that would probably be the middle ground of a dropz 4 in strobe mode and your traditional 3 color strobes. I give light shows, and one of the last raves I went to my gloves were caught in a strobe light for a short period of time. I like the effect, and I’m trying to recreate it and incorporate it in my shows. The problem is I can’t find a light that looks like it would go at the proper speed to create that “slow mo” effect. Do you know of a light that’s the right strobe speed I’m looking for?

I also had a pretty cool idea. I’ve heard of some guy whose conjuring lights could turn on and off when they touched each other using magnets somehow. Would there be a way to make these lights activate only when close to each other using the same concept?

Same kind of switches as alarm systems use.
