Im looking to get a 2 outlet strobe supply that is higher than 40W. O would like to find something brighter if at all possible. I have searched around and have yet to find anything. Does anyone know if they make 2 outlet storbe power supplies greater than 40W? Thanks.

2-output supplies are very rare. However many multi channel power suplies can be set to run on just 2 channels

But say a 4 outlet power supply was rated at 40W(to keep it simple) and i only used 2 outlets. The power from the 2 outlets not being used will not be going to the only two i am using.

Would LEDs be brighter than an 18W bulb? And also would 2 watts make much of a difference?

LEDs are directional. If you're using them for Show, I'd go with an actual strobe. If you're a first responder LEDs are the way to go.

LEDs are pretty pricey also so hearing that is kinda good lol so what is the most i can prolly get out of 2 strobes from a 4 outlet supply? 22.5W? I think a 4 outlet 90W is what i found i THINK.

yea. Stobes N More has a great kit that comes with 4 strobe heads, just in case you change your mind later and want front and rear strobes. You can set up a switch to run just front, just rear or both and it has an expansion for a 6 channel setup as well.

TIR's require a flasher module ... I have four sets I removed from a SWAT van they have a module before the lights ...2"x3" board ... unfortunately two of them no longer work I'll have to see about replacements

My tir3's require no extra flasher module. Just hook them up and go.

Yea i guess you have older TIR3's cause mine dont need flashers either and na a TIR3 in the headlight prolly wont work too well.

Prolly not, haha. Didn't know you were looking for something to fit in the headlight.
