5 Stars Potential Disappointment
Chauvet ST-2000S Techno Strobe Light 2000S
I know I’m going to disappoint some Chauvet customers, but I did NOT buy this for party use!
My projects include stop motion photography along with High Speed photography. The actual physical size of the unit is much larger than I’d anticipated, The lens diameter is approximately 8″ and the length approximately 10″. This isn’t an issue for my needs, or an indictment of the product, just information for those who might need it.
The flash is VERY bright, well into the range of my stronger (dedicated) photo flashes. Both the trigger, the auto and the music modes work quite well. In the music mode the music volume needs to be relatively loud and the strobe near the source of the sound.
This unit, like most with high output energy (and subsequent heat) has a duty cycle of 20 minutes at maximum power. This is absolutely normal for this kind of device, and it’s a shame so many reviewers don’t understand that concept.
All in all, a VERY impressive unit for a good price. Should we outgrow this unit (in our photo needs) we’ll add more of this model for additional and extended lighting.
Five stars for this one!
5 Stars Great for a Halloween strobe effect in your garage
Last Halloween, I purchased and mounted the Chauvet Techno Strobe above my garage door after having researched many strobe lights on the market.
I wanted one that was bright, relatively inexpensive and had a built-in mic with adjustable speed. This model certainly fit the bill. With the built-in mic, I got what I wanted, which was a random flash, and not a steady tempo flash. This gave more of a lightning effect which is what I wanted to go along with the haunted “slaughter room” we had constructed in the garage.
Being a former mobile DJ, I have send and worked with my share of strobe lights. This strobe is a keeper. Highly recommended!
5 Stars superb
does the job perfect…great for parties…the light a lil sharp…better for bigger areas…was too much for our lil space…but they are great!
3 Stars Works as advertised though overall quality is slightly below average.
This strobe works as advertized. It is a fairly large unit and its sensitivity knob for sensing sound and beat works well. But I would say the quality is slightly below average because it is made of plastic and right out of the box one of the knobs that holds and tightens the mounting bracket was already stripped and I couldn’t tighten the unit to the bracket. I don’t recommend this product for professional or heavy use. Another Chauvet product I own (colored light ball) is made of metal and has lasted through several years of use.
