Chrony F1 Lighting

[Bad Beagle]

Needed two small reading lamps for the office and found neat little rechargeable ones on Amazon for £9 delivered. Just tried them on the F1 indoors, perfecto !

Hello, just a small thing. I thought that the glass on the sensors were clean but I was wrong, shining a light down inside the housing then the front one was dusty and worse still the rear one had a match head size lump of fluff on the sensor, I use floor tiles in the pellet back stop and a piece had bounced!
Now have a tub of cotton buds to hand.
Cheers.
Geoff.

Good tip !

Nice lighting solution What I like about that is the lamps are free standing.

I have the 'factory' Chrony lighting kit (because it was a very good deal as a whole package when I bought my Chrony), but I've found the whole thing to be very top-heavy and therefore unstable with trailing cables and the lights mounted on the sky screens.

Another Chrony tip - If you want something to aim through, without using the metal guide pole supplied (which will break the plastic if you hit one with a pellet), then use drinking straws.

Do they work OK?

LED lights supposedly give false readings because they flicker.

Just watch slow mo in Top Gear.

I thought it was most other lights that flickered and LED were the ones ?
Anyway appears very accurate and consistent and hasn't missed a beat in my full 15 minutes of testing

Yeah, if they do flicker, it must be at a rate that's fine for the Chrony.

The older factory lights use incandescent bulbs, but the modern ones are LEDs.

They would make fantastic Subbuteo floodlights too... if I was 40 years younger
