Consider supporting me on:

In this video I explored a remote possibility to operate a regular AC strobe light from DC voltage source, without having to add a DC-AC Inverter.

A initially learned photography as a kid shooting black & white then developing the photos in a dark room, that was a magical time and sparked my interest in photography. As I got older I dabbled in digital photography but wasn't until my kids were born that i really started to get an active interest back in it all.

YES THIS AC STROBE CAN RUN ON DC POWER! this strobe similiar to Godox K-150 or Godox K-180, to operate this AC Strobe to DC, make new MIDDLE bypass after Diode "AC VOLTAGE MULTIPLIER, and the DC Capacitor Bank. put new DIODE in there. and then make new DC MULTIPLIER / DC TO DC STEP UP.. (like Pixel TD381 Power Pack, this boost 6volt DC to 330Volt), this bypass similiar to Godox TT685 Speedlight…

Thank you for the Video.
The Component you are asking for at 2:20 is the ignition coil. You can find similar looking ones under the Name "ztr200". I suspect the side your finger is pointing to to be the high voltage output.
