lightning machine found

Post by Spookymufu » Sun Sep 27, 2009 2:42 pm

Hey ya'll, I found and bought this little toy to replace my older Terror By Design lightning machine.

heres the link to this 500 watt, $12 machine
http://www.thingsyouneverknew.com/produ ... .svl=83002

My old one was 250 watts, I bought it from Denny before he started making the 500 watt units and now he is out of business. This year I am adding a 500 watt halogen work light to the yard as a lightning source, ($9.00 at Walmart) and wanted a more powerful machine but didnt want to spend a ton of cash!

The lightning machine is the same as the ones you used to see in Target and Walmart for about $20 but this one is in a Christmas case and only cost $12 and change. My 250 watt TBD machine was around $100.

Heres my TBD machine

I have tested the $12 unit and it works great, it's single channel and has a lights always on button as well (my old one didnt have that) and it's very bright!

I, for one, would think a Christmas Tree wired for lightening would be hilarious! :lol:
All you that doth my grave pass by,
As you are now so once was I,
As I am now so you must be,
Prepare for death & follow me.
