Hi. I have a question/ need advice regarding one of our exhibits.
We have been having problems with our "Captured Shadows" exhibit (i.e. 
phosphorescent wall and strobe). It is extremely dim. We have replaced 
the phosphor, and tried new strobes (2 each 800w American DJ 
MegaFlashs). Worked good for a couple weeks but then the strobes look 
like they are much dimmer than they originally were. We are 
experimenting with using a video camera light (800 w) instead of the 
strobes and just having it turn on for a half second. Results look 
great, but I am worried about the intensity of the light as well as bulb 
life. Is there any kind of standard on how bright a light can be for 
something like this? It does leave you seeing spots for a little while.
Has anyone had success using something other than the traditional 
strobes, or have any other suggestions?

Thanks for your help.
Elton
