Hi all,
I'm aware that what I'm about to ask is probably incredibly simple, but I know enough about electronics to know that I know nothing about electronics, so I thought I'd seek a second opinion. Here goes;
I have six battery powered strobes, each of which takes 4xAA cells. Here's what I need to do with them;
1. have all the batteries remote, approx. 2m away.
2. have all the strobes trigger together via a pushbutton, which I'm planning to do via an arduino & mosfet combination.
3. ideally reduce the quantity of batteries required. This is where my question comes in;
Rather than use 24 AA batteries, could I use three 12V batteries with two strobes wired into each?
I should add that this is for a stage prop that needs to be used only once, so the solution needs not be as robust as something that would be used day in day out.
Thanks,
