The American DJ Flash Shot is a good light and value. It is easy to use, has LED lights, therefore it is reliable, long-lasting, uses little electricity and is never hot. However, for a decent strobe effect , I highly recommend having two lights hooked up together. This is especially true in rooms that are not totally dark. It is far better than the old strobes that constantly burned bulbs, were never reliable and cost a lot to operate. I recommend this product.
