J. Søren Viuf Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 What are some ways to achieve flickering Flourescents, short of unscrewing them halfway, which doesn't even work that well? Is it possible to do in anyway with Kinos? I know you can do it in camera with shutter angle changes, but I 't want to do it directly on the unit. I'm guessing there might be a MagicGadget box or a Lightning Strikes thingamajig? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member John Thomas Posted November 22, 2008 Premium Member Share Posted November 22, 2008 I put some standard 120v 60hertz flourescents on a variac and lowered the voltage for one job. They flickered like nuts at a certain threshold voltage but I'm not sure if they ever worked again after that abuse. :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
