LIGHTNINGSTRIKES™

www.luminyscorp.com

 

LightningStrikes™ patented lightning effects technology offers precise control of dramatically bright light for sets, locations and concert stages.

 

See The Light
Unlike a strobe, LightningStrikes™ units don't require camera sync, while a normal strobe flash has only a 50% chance of being seen when the camera shutter is in the open position, the shortest LightningStrikes!  flash is I/24th of a second, guaranteeing that the camera will always see the light.

 

Safety
LightningStrikes™ is ETL approved, featuring fully sealed, weatherproof fixtures for safe use with rain towers. The self-limiting electrical load capability assures optimum generator tolerance.

 

LightningStrikes.' Heads
LightningStrikes™ heads all have similar firing characteristics, provide 5600° Kelvin daylight, and are dimmable to 10% output Additionally, the units are capable of going from OFF to FULL POWER and completely OFF again within I/100th of a second.

 

Lightning Simulation
LightningStrikes!  credits appear on thousands of movies, television
productions and live events, including War of the Worlds, The Skeleton Key, The Interpreter, Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events, Van Helsing, The Matrix, Identity and Perfect Storm. Concert tours include U2, Aerosmith, Pink Floyd and The Rolling Stones.

 

Explosion & Gunfire Reinforcement
LightningStrikes™ makes Big Bangs look even Bigger. Many of the most popular uses of LightningStrikes™ units have been the intensifying of arms warfare in major motion pictures from Saving Private Ryan to Terminator.

 

Award-Winner
The impact of LightningStrikes™ technology has been so profound that in 1996 the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences honored inventors David Pringle &Yan Zhong Fang with a Technical Achievement Award "for the design and development of LightningStrikes™, a flexible, high-performance electronic lightning effects system."

Thundervoltz


Thundervoltz Power Packs provide safe, convenient, independent power for Lightning Strikes units, eliminating the need for a generator or house power. Thundervoltz contains an oversized battery with an inverter and charger to provide special AC power suitable for Lighting Strikes fixtures.

 

Thundervoltz will permit indefinite flashes as long as the onboard trickle charger is connected. It is recommended that Thundervoltz units always be operated with the charger connected to external power. If the charger cannot be plugged in, the internal battery will power the operating circuit for 15 hours and deliver 150 full power flash sequences. All units must be properly grounded

 

Thundervoltz requires no cabling, so it is quick to set up and convenient to operate. The compact units move easily on pneumatic tires.

 

Thundervoltz battery packs come in 70K and 500K sizes
