Newly Enlightened
I live in a suburb of DC. It's legal here to have certain farm animals. A herd of goats lives here at the house. The goat feed attracts rodents. I have an ongoing battle with rats.
I found that this species of rats is repulsed by a fast strobe. I bought a plug-in 120V strobe light which worked great until it broke. Since then, I've resorted to using my pre-programmable series Zebralight headlamps (meaning, ones that came out before programming was introduced) set on strobe, which work even better. The headlamp design makes it a simple matter to position the headlamp standing on the battery cap and pointed to where the rats hang out.
The only downside is that the strobes are keyed to H1. Meaning, the battery wears out within a few hours. I'd like the strobe to run all night.
I'm ordering an H600fd in a week or so. I hope that I will be able to program H1 to a medium level, and that the strobe will then key to the reprogrammed H1.
I wonder if anyone could do an experiment for me and determine if that is the case or not. That is, is it possible to strobe the light at something less than max illumination?
I could just wait till the light arrives and check it myself, but curiosity is getting the better of me.
Thanks in advance.
