dude thank you so much for the idea i was using two car head lights attached to a car battery for my indoor testing it work but it was heavy and hard to set up this is a much better deal im going to try it out once again thank you

MR. Enstien!!!

i was going to buy the chrony light.then, i saw ur video hell ..........yeah work great

do you know why you have both 2 and 4 rod options?

[46FreddieMercury91]

thats excellent. i presume that battery operated LED lights have no flicker. Great i'll do this. only sad thing is i bought my chrony yesterday..today i shot it.still works though. they should improve the design and put metal plating in front of the sensor housings. i will make my own in the meantime

Wow - thanks for saving me $40.

Dude, I'm glad I saw your video on YouTube. I repeated the same setup on my F1 Chrony (although I used velcro to hold the pucks instead of magnets). It's such a brilliant inexpensive solution. Many thanks for this effective money-saving tip.

@bombaytiger Awesome! Glad I could help & thank for the comment.

Great trick ! I tried it and it worked fine!

However it only worked with 2 rods on each diffuser. When i tried with 4 rods i was getting error all the time.

Also you can use rubber bands instead of magnets.

Well done !

Very convenient and inexpensive.

yep, i got light emiting diode lights also when they fist cam out i started useing them, incadescent light only. many years ago i made mistake of useing shop light (florescent) because of its flicker rate it messes up readings, or error 1 displays on chrony quite often or error 2

Ok, I am going to buy a set of lights and try it at the range Saturday. thanks for you kind attention.

[rfuret]

Very good idea, I am wondering, is it not too bright to the photocells? Have you tried it indoors? Thanks

[shield400]

@rfuret Thank you! I've been using this setup to shoot in my basement all winter and it has worked out beautifully. I did get a very small percentage of errors when using the shorter rods with the LED lights close to the photocells. I found that using the extended rods with the diffusers higher up fixed this and worked flawlessly.

Nice!! The lights they sell 4 these are WAY overpriced & probably less effective than this..

[shield400]

@royweeks1 Thanks! I agree the Chrony light are expensive plus they need to be plugged in. I've read that they can get hot and melt the diffuser if left on too long. These LED pucks really do a great job.

Thanks for the tip, I am going to use it =)

[shield400]

@Jordenkl Thanks buddy, this works perfect in any low light situations. I'm shooting in my basement during winter and it works great. Make sure you don't have any florescent lights on around you at all or it screw with the sensor and give error messages.

[Jordenkl]

@shield400 mmmm interesting.... florescent will screw it up..... thanks for the info =D
