Will these trigger strobes (like Alien Bees)?

They will with a sync cord, but don't expect to use High Speed Sync or iTTL, that requires specialized "smart" flashes like the Nikon SB-900 or the Youngnuo YN-568 EX II.

So far they work fine with my Nikon SB 600. Can't beat the price compared to pocket wizards.

Yes, because they work as slave strobes on light sensors, you can add unlimited strobes (as long as they have light sensors). The ones that come with the kit work either wired or on light sensor.

Yes. If your light switch is on, they respond to motion both day and night. I had my electrician tweak them to stay on longer because they were set to turn off after 5 minutes of no motion.

Hello Cristian, if you bought the fotodiox beauty dish ( http://www.amazon.com/Fotodiox-White-Beauty-Alien-Strobe/dp/B0048WHCAW/ref=pd_sxp_grid_i_0_2) to go with the Alien Bees, it will have come with a speedring adapter for the strobe.Otherwise, if yuo are buying this adapter separately, it is correct.

Yes, but it depends on proximity. Also if you set the sensitivity too high it can trigger based on ambient factors or vibrations in the floor.

These are made to use with speed lights. I think the alien bee head would be too large.. I use the box often. It's easy to set up.

Pocket Wizard. I actually use this on slave and trigger my main alien bees from the pocket wizard, in the studio, but also use the pocket wizard with this strobe if I am using it on location without the alien bees. If you are on a budget, you can also try this: http://www.amazon.com/Aputure-Trigmaster-Transmitter-Receivers-Trigger/dp/B004FLE5W4/ref=sr_1_14?ie=UTF8&qid=1407153776&sr=8-14&keywords=flash+triggers

I have some on my 2003 Lincoln Navigator and my 2006 Suzuki GSXR 1000. They do not strobe on my vehicles after they are turned off. Hope this helps.

I'm thinking, yes. This is one bright, large, and intense strobe. I'm certain a rat would be freaked by this - but for how long - a few weeks, maybe not. my .02

I don't think these will trigger strobes. If you are using a combination of speedlites and strobes you might consider using an optical trigger on the strobes which would be triggered by the speedlites, assuming line of sight. I like these Pixel units, but switched to PocketWizards for several reasons. The PocketWizards are a much more expensive alternative, but more versatile.

No they can't when running off the control box given. But if they are wired directly to a switch bypassing the strobe box then they will stay on steady. Or you can buy a control box with a strobe and steady settings

since they are triggered by flash as well, should be no issue adding additional strobes. you just need to be sure that you have reflectors or objects that can pick up the light from other flashes from behind the additional strobes to trigger them.

They should only flash when the stobe effect is on. Use the remote and hit any other setting (fade, solid, etc.)

Lol. Yes. They're very sensitive. You can adjust motion sensitivity, though. Mone triggers for insects, so mice shouldn't be an issue.

no. they flash on blue green and red only. no continuous glow unless they are rotating colors

Not to my knowledge. I wanted them to strobe so it works nice for me. It comes with the controller and an on/off switch. They are very bright at night for the size. I'm happy with them. Great for tight spaces.
