Q:

Home Made Chrony lighting setups

Guys, I need to come up with something that will allow me to use my Competition Electronics Pro Chrno in my basement.

Any ideas besides the usual; you dumb bastard, you should have got a light kit when you bought the chrony! 😳

I would like to do some tuning this weekend and it looks like it is going to rain all weekend. I never needed an indoor lighting kit; until now!

Today I bought 2 spot lights for my chrony. That worked like a charm, INCLUDIDNG IN TOTAL DARKNESS, just with those 2 lights ON. 😯 No more errors and incomplete data when adjusting the gun. Happy is a understatement.

This is what I got:

I decided to share that with you and I searched something similar for you US guys and this is what I found:

They are cheap and you only need 2 of the lights. You can share/sell the other 2, or keep them as spare lights if you shoot them.

BTW, I test those lights on top of the “White Bridge On Top Of Those Four Rods”, and they worked perfectly, but decided to stick them with the supplied adhesive backing, under the WBOTOTFR 🙂 , where they worked even better I guess. No diffuser was used in total darkness test so there’s no need for one.

For guys in other country, just type ” spot LED AAA ” in your country’s Google and check images. You should find something to buy on the first page.

great idea,

only problem is it takes me 3-4 times longer to read your post. i keep getting distracted by something bouncing over to the side 🙂

I use a 300 watt halogen work light above mine,

I use a Pro-crony all the time in my basement. I found that a 100 watt flood light with one of those aluminum shrouds works well. I just clip the light above the crony (about two ft.) and make sure that the light falls on both the front and rear sensors. (The rest of the room is filled with fluorescents which doesn’t seem to both the crony if the flood light is on.)

I know you need to use incandescent bulbs. I never had any luck trying to use flouresents. I gave up and bought a lighting kit.

The lighting kit for it uses infered LED’s if that helps.

You can try putting a small bulb over each sensor
