Found at walgreens for 10 bucks a perfect set of cyclotron lights. They are just called “strobing lights” and there is ten in a box and a little controller box, also has sound but that can be cut out. Anyway its one single bright LED with a round reflector perfect fit for the cyclotron and they sequence in the correct style. I bought a set but have to get pics tomorrow
Nice. I’m interested in seeing the pics. What brand are the lights?
Please show.
Ooo! Gotta see!!!
Yes, must see this and the box it came in…electrical is giving me trouble, I almost scrapped lights until I saw this!
let’s see em!
I just noticed that they slightly go out of sequence, they go 1-2-3 and flash 2 at a time on the third. seeing as there are ten lights they oculd probably be played with a bit to get it or leave as is and its pretty close for budget lights, better than just randomly flashing. heres a quick video
Very cool thank you.
Excellent! I’m going to run out on my way home to get some of these.
Great find!
will keep an eye out, thanks!
awesome deal for $10!
If the other lights will reach the extra six could be stuck in the power cell.
Thank you. I’ll be making a trip to Walgreens tonight.
Saw those last week and thought of you guys. I decided to pass and instead picked up one of the LED blinking necklaces. I needed something small with blinkies for my Ecto Goggles…
SOOO, if you’re doing goggles or want flashers for your trap or gun, they have these little necklaces with blinking LEDs too. They come in Ghost, pumpkin, or skull styles.

very MacGyver of you!
Those blinking necklaces are great! I bought a handful of them last year at TRU. I’ll be adapting the blue ghost one as a budget power cell light very soon.
Walgreens just earned my money.
While not properly sequenceing, they are muich better then static lights.
I DO have a sequencing cheap solution I hope to offer within the week. I’ve already done a mod on the base units I bought for teamhair’s pack, and its working perfectly. I just managed it yesterday, and didn’t want to say anything until I was sure they would actually work.
Odds are they will be $15 plus shipping, basical;y covering my costs and time, and will have 4 cycling red leds, and one flashing blue led, which you could put in the powercell, or elsewhere for non canon bling. I’m not sure if by itself if it’s bright enough for the entire power cell, but again, its better then just a static light.
I won’t have a huge number of these.. probably 10 or less total, but at least it’ll helf some halloweeners have halfway decent lighting.
Do these have a continuous on/off or do you have to keep cycling them or install a different switch/button?
I’m interested, very interested.
