HID lights wig wag?

I'm wondering if HID lights with their associated ballasts etc can be flashed as in a wig wag set-up?? Haven't been able to find info on line. Thanks.

By all accounts, if your wig wag has a warm up circut (30 seconds or so) then the lights should flash just fine.

If your wigwag does not have a warm up, you can just manually warm them up by leaving them on steady for a minute or so.

If you want to play it safe, 1 minute is plenty in all cases. For our ballasts we use 25-30 seconds. Anything less than 20 seconds is NOT enough in all cases.
We have a Patent on the HID warmup Technology. The patent was awarded 3 months ago after a 4+ year wait.
