Awesome bustin! I figured out how to do my strobe in the powercell… Its a bit different than yours. I will have videos of mine when I am done. My [cyclotron](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/cyclotron) lights for now only blink on and off.. since I can’t seperate the bulbs in the light I bought. Gonna hit up walmart tomorrow and try to find something else to use..

How are you turning the lights on and off? By hand?

Yep By hand. Here is a close up of the back of the pie pan. I turn each one switch on right after the other.

Don’t go to Walmart for your cyclatron needs go to a dollar general or dollar store this is where I got these

I just pulled the light out and cut off the front portion where I put it inside the pan

I also used a red transparent 3 ring binder that I cut up to make it look read.

Thanks again for the compliments.

pretty cool, too bad the lights dont stay blinking in order, looks like they just blink randomly even if you turn on each on in the right order

Yeah it would be cool, but the money was the issue. I couldn’t afford a $150 lighting kit. So for $4 I was pretty proud of it. Thanks for the compliments! 😃

If you’d read the building process of his 100$ pack, you would have seen that he used velcro on the [Cyclotron](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/cyclotron) and the Spacer to keep them together.
