How Many Of You Use Strobes?

[ahoustondj]

How many of you use Strobes in your Shows?
Since they are more effective in complete/almost Complete Darkness, How do you accomplish this task to get the maximun effect?
I am contemplating gettting a pair or these tomorrow at the Chauvet show. I saw them in a Live Demo yesterday. They are BRIGHT!! http://www.chauvetlighting.com/mega-strobe-fx12.html

I use 4 ADJ Megastrobes at my parties, I black everything out before triggering them. If somebody has a seizure there are many MD's around and if it goes down hill I have extra bags and toe tags

We have 10 strobes. I use them as a special effect as well as a strong strobe effect (blackout other lights)
