Thought I'd share...

Please note - I will be posting this weekend my remaining on-hand inventory (LED's, bulbs, sockets, plugs, strobes, etc.) for the season along with updated pricing for those of you looking to make some final additions to your 2012 display.

If you have been on the fence about using strobes in your Halloween or Christmas display, I have plenty available at a great price point.

I was planing on using 20 for my display (3 or 4 per second).  Do they look random the moment they come on or does it take a while for them to get into a random pattern?

These:

If you read this threadYou are not allowed to view links. Register or Login RJ says to dim just a few seconds prior to wanting them on. Dim to the point they "charge" but dont turn on. Then give them 100% and they will look random. NOTE: Only dim LEDs...I think. At least RJ said the ones in my link are dimmable

The website that sells what I'm interested in says this "Caution: When using strobes with light controllers, turning them on and off rapidly or using them with fading or lower intensities can damage them."

I'm guessing the one's RJ is referring to are not the same, perhaps his are the LED strobes.
