6129 Hello, Yeah I use these in my displays, I put them in HDPE tube that are 15" so they go higher, they are just as good as the PyroLand 5" ones.

They are nice. There are only 3 different effects (2 each in a pack):

- Red Strobe Pistil Brocade Crown
- White Strobe Pistil Blue Dahlia
- Green Strobe Pistil Chysanthemum Willow

Very easy to fire electronically as well.

Looks like there's a video showing 2 of the 3 from Dominator at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtfDWz2q_a4

If you can't find a video of white strobe, I might have one.

I picked up a couple of packs of these for my show this year. I haven't fired any yet. Have been wondering how to wire these. Can I poke the bottom of the shell like any other can? Also wondering if a 15" tube makes that much of difference?

I usually just cut a small slit in the bottom side with a box cutter. Slip the igniter/initiator in and tape it back up.

The length and diameter (DR9 vs DR11) will affect the shape/height a bit. I think it's personal preference if you like them a little taller vs wider.

If you are shooting them in multiples (at the same time), use the same style tubes. They will look odd if you mix and match your tubes.

On the effects, the "Red Strobe Pistil Brocade Crown" is probably the most accurately named. The "White Strobe Pistil Blue Dahlia" is mostly white strobe with a little blue. The "Green Strobe Pistil Chysanthemum Willow" is mostly crackling Chysanthemum Willow with very little (if any) green strobe.
