Description says "Removable Stroboscope Light (Not included)"; a review mentions strobe "way off"... does it come with a strobe? If so, a good one?

It does come with a strobe. I keep it adjusted at the upper range of speed, but that was when the line voltage was 106.6. Line voltage varies tremendously. This is an inexpensive turntable and does NOT have a synchronous "locked into 60 cycle" motor. I think it performs well for the money. :)

My DOES have a strobe light. Seems to work fine. It doesn't look "removable" though ... maybe that's what the description was talking about(?). Turntable works fine.

my particular model of the Pyle turntable has a dedicated built-in strobe which seems to be as accurate as I need - I am using the turntable less than I had expected when it was purchased, but so far I am pleased with the value - when I first deployed mine I tested with a Micro Acoustics LP.which has a couple of tracks to assess turntable wow and flutter; speed was adjusted to no creep on the stroboscopic platter markings and I could hear no deficiencies - but my hearing is not what it once was

It does strobe, however it's got click settings, first click is regular light, second is SOS or something like that and the third is strobe. So if you pass it you have to go thru the clicks to get back to it UNLESS.... you're using the tactical sensor piece, then it's based on where you touch the pad. Hope this helps. It's a really bright light, pretty durable too I've dropped it on concrete and asphalt many times and still works fine.

Hello!.... Technically, none. There's no difference between those two kits. Except for the color of the strobes.Regards.

One mode is just off and on. Some have multiple modes... High... Low... Strobe. I've ordered from the same people twice and got both types. The three mode ones work great so I reordered and got the one mode and they are a piece of junk so beware.

Nope, no strobe function. Tried tapping the button twice but it didn't make any difference.

It's a flash strobe, but it does have a modeling light for constant light. I don't use the modeling lamp, so can't comment on it. I will say, I love this entire set up, I've got three and am about to order a third.Hope this helps

When you hold the strobe button for long enough, it stays in strobe, if you have tried clicking the large button and it's still in strobe and won't stop, you may have to remove the battery and wait thirty seconds and put it back together. If that doesn't work you may have gotten a lemon, talk to the distributor and or manufacturer and try to get it sorted. Sorry for your bad luck, I have abused the mess out of mine and it still works like a Swiss watch.

That is not normal. If it's in the return period, return it as defective. Otherwise, if it's under warranty see if you can get it replaced. If you can't return it or get it replaced, does it show the same behavior when it is set as the master as well as when it is set as a slave (assuming it's in slave mode when it triggers on its own)? You should try all the different settings on the strobe to see if it will work properly from at least one setting or combination of settings that might make it useable.

Thanks for all the replies. I've gotten used to it so it's not a deal breaker for me. I guess I did not pay close attention to the description and I assumed it had a light sensor as well as the motion sensor.

NO, but you can attach a real strobe. Look for a used alien-bees 400 or a photogenic PL1250, you can find these for $125-$150USD. It's time for a strobe bro. The photogenic PL1250 is a monster at 500w/s and you can find them on eBay all day long for a song.

I haven't used these light that I got yet but did tinker with them enough to know that you can turn the modeling light off and the strobe will fire fine. I can't say about removing them but since you can turn them off I don't understand why you would want to remove them. My suggestion to you would be to remove them and see for yourself what happens. I would assume that if you can remove them you can put them back on???

No strobe, and don't by this light it is not an LED bulb. U will not be pleased with the brightness. Get a 200 lumens or higher LED tactical light.

Mine did'nt come with an instruction manual. It's no big deal though cuz it's pretty simple to operate. Connect the sync cord that PBL provides to your camera and plug the other end to the strobe and you're in business.

No strobe setting... I like the simplicity, push button on end to turn off and on, also can hold it down without clicking it to flash, brightness is adjusted by turning the head... I have lights where you have to cycle through settings and find it bothersome. Although some lights have a feature where it stays on the last setting... this is just a simple tough bright 2AA light, I use it with Eneloops and it has long battery life.

It's only momentary, and there's no strobe ability. Good luck what u r finding.

Duracell Durabeam Ultra 300 does not have strobe. They take 4 aaa batteries but claim higher output and longer battery life.
