NOTE:

I bought one of these a few years back off E-bay and given the price the thing has paid for itself time and time again.

But...

I bought another one much more recently and the quality was terrible compared to the first. Is was a thinner grade aluminum (the original was steel) and the bolts for attaching lighting fixtures were tiny and I'll have to replace (and redrill) them:

The above image is the first one I bought. Note how the cross members between the two horizontal poles are welded in place. The latest truss has plastic collars attaching it to the horizontal poles (presumably as its more difficult to weld aluminum).

Just thought I'd share the knowledge.

[DjDennis]

mine was steal when I bought mine

but its where you buy these days its all plastic to me

I dont need to buy one again (thank god)

I hope your not plugging those strobes into the same circuit as your sound system...

[FabDJ]

Why?

Do you get interference?

[SourceRaver]

More like....

Tik..Tik...Tik...Tik...etc.

Comming through the PA. Doesnt happen everytime but you cant use the strobe (obviously) when it does.

Strobes are the most power hungry lighting effect you can find. I've seen whole rigs die as soon as the strobe goes on due to overloading. Always turn everything on before a gig (ie a stress test) to make sure it doesnt happen during the gig.

[DjDennis]

yes - I would second that

seen it happen many times over the years

[Jaz]

actually source at my house i was running it off the same switch board but occasionally yeh it would cut out the music, so i just got all lighting running off a second powerboard and have amp laptop Midi and powered speaker running off a seperate serge proof powerboard

[DjDennis]

So now can you hear the tic tic tic when using the laptop and the strobe ?

[Jaz]

Nope never heard any tic threw the speakers, the strobe makes it's own ticking sound but my phone speakers could make more noise then that, may only certain strobes cause the speakers to get a tick interfearance....

different lights do different things

different speakers act differently

also with lights and sound on same circut that can happen

just test it in all possible ways and see if you get interference - if you dont then all is good
