  • epilepsy

  • A common misbelief - Strobes can cause epilepsy, but only because of the intensity it creates. With the ever expanding diversity of lights, there are now many others that create an intensity that could similarly trigger a seizure.

    I work with adults with cognitive disabilities which are higher at risk of seizures, but from my experience, seizures are determined more by the environment as a whole than just the lights (volume of music, how much you hype the crowd, decorations, friends etc)

  • I have never bought strobes because they have limited uses and dont create an amazing effects.

  • I have actually gone away from using any strobes at all. From a mobile DJ standpoint, most of my wedding crowds simply do not care for the effect. Its certainly a usable option for high school dances and the like, but primarily not for weddings

  • I own 3 of them man. I know how bright they are :) I'm talking from a mobile DJ's perspective dude. They take way too much power to juice them! LEDs are much better from a Mobile DJ's perspective lol.

  • how can u compare leds to the atomic!!!!

    dude have u ever seen one of those running at full capacity!!!

    i dont think so its reall bloody bright! y do u think they use them for absolutly huge venues? like rock concerts and alike thats what they were designed for!

  • From a theatrical lighting perspective I agree the Atomic is one of the best. From a mobile DJ's perspective I think the LEDs may be a better choice. 90% of venues just don't have enough power available.

  • U cant compare a Atomic 3000 DMX with LEDs

    OK ists more Power but: why is Atomic 3k on ALL Stages of Festivals?!?

    If U use it for lessure time... OK LED is great & cheap, but if U use it for professional purposes U use the Atomic ...

    I got some & I wont miss it!!!

  • For the average mobile DJ an this argument applies, just don't try telling a touring company it needs to replace its atomics with LED fixtures. At the end of the day you are comparing apples to oranges. An atomic is not designed for the same application as a colour strip.

  • boe l.e.d

  • Good to know, I've heard the frequency of seizures is reduced when the corpus callosum is separated or at least perforated
