Mighty Light from Speedlight Co.


Recommended Posts

<p>I picked up a box today that contained 5 Mighty Light bases, attachable bulbs with reflectors and power supplies for AC power. It also contained some top attachment that acts as a remote trigger when it sees the other strobes fire. The construction appears to be late 50's or early 60's. I tested everything and it works. Some of the wiring needs to be redone due to cracks in the insulation.<br>

My question is whether these old Mighty Lights are worth using. I tested them on my Wein Flashmeter and got guide numbers between 40 and 60 depending on the bulb.<br>

That really isn't much oomph. Is that why there are 5 of them in a box? Or, has age taken its toll on the capacitors (or maybe the bulbs themselves). <br>

Any thoughts, ideas, or information appreciated.</p>
