Things I liked:

Allows the Chrony to be used in a flourecent lit basement.

Things I would have changed:

This is probably asking for too much, but maybe include bulbs in the kit that don't burn out in the first 5 seconds... really. I turned them on and... pop pop, out they went. Bought some $3 apiece GE bulbs and those work fine.

What others should know:

I never could figure out why they include a new set of rods with this kit... do they think we loose them on a regular basis?

    Things I liked:

    The shooting chrony skyscreen lights work like a charm!

    Things I would have changed:

    They are a little pricey.

    What others should know:

    After installing the lights on my chrony I was able to use the chrony in my basement without fail. I am very pleased with this purchase. I am 100% satisfied with these lights.

    Things I liked:

    These just make your crony work flawless in any condition. Works great indoors. Completely alleviated my frustration with chrony errors. This product saved me from taking a sledgehammer to my chrony!

    Things I would have changed:

    Lower price - slightly expensive for what it is made of.

    What others should know:

    This product should come standard on all chrony models. Not as an option. I no longer have to be frustrated by errors, waiting for certain light conditions or placement. Before I got this, I could only use my chhrony consistently from 10am to 2pm when lighting conditions and direction were absolutely perfect. Now I have completely freedom to use my chrony without error any time of the day or night indoors or out. This was the absolute cure to the most frustrating/aggravating aspect of air Gunning!

    Things I liked:

    Work Great. a lot fewer errors. Must have for indoor shooting.

    Things I would have changed:

    One cord instead of two.Also offer in all the colors the chronies come in,at close to $50 it should look like it's made to go with my chrony(lol,no biggy,but would be nice to match). Seem to be over priced(Shooting Chrony's part).

    What others should know:

    Even after installing these I had a lot of errors(Shooting indoors with airguns.Then I turned off the normal lights in the room near the chrony,and got much better results(about 80% good reads). Originally tried on Beta and they worked 20 out of 20 shots,but traded beta in for the master gamma and have been working at about 80% with other lights off and maybe 40% with lights on(still have lights on near target). All in all a must have for indoor shooting! I have made around a dozen purchases from PA and as always just about as fast delivery as advertised on American Airgunner. SUPER FAST !! When I order by noon it's at my door the very next day, EVERY time ! Thanks for the best service ever Pyramyd Air.

    Things I liked:

    Works very well even in my dark basement. Had no issues at all.

    Things I would have changed:

    The instructions are a little vague. I think higher detail illustrations would be a step in the right direction.

    What others should know:

    Turning some room lights off improves projectile detection when using these lights. If you are still getting error readings make sure your gun is well braced, level, 18" away and centered.

    Things I liked:

    Worked as advertised, have been able to register .25 Caliber 20.06 grain pellet at 1406 fps down to a .117 Caliber light weight pellet at 1276 fps without any misreads. A Big Improvement over using the Chrony without the skyscreen lights.

    Things I would have changed:

    Perhaps a one piece cloud cover would be worth the additional shipping length. Also, Is seems that the price is high considering it represents half the cost of a good chrony and appears less than top quality.

    What others should know:

    For indoor shooting, it is a must. The frustration of trying to get proper lighting sufficient to allow the Chrony to consistently report the speed of a projectile is no easy chore. Thus far, this has been Excellent!

    Things I liked:

    Work as advertised

    Things I would have changed:

    Agree with a previous reviewer who suggested making the diffuser panels one piece as opposed to segments.

    What others should know:

    I picked up a set of these so I could do some indoor chrony testing and they work well. Mine did arrive with one dead light bulb. Tried to get a replacement, but they wanted me to send the entire unit back. So I just grabbed a replacement 40w bulb at my local hardware store and ate the cost - no big deal. It would be nice to have one-piece diffuser panels, but that would obviously hinder portability. All in all, these are a great addition to your chrony setup and work as designed.

    Things I liked:

    Works well, and the quality is acceptable.

    Things I would have changed:

    I think the screens would be more convenient if they were "one" continuous panel rather than three puzzle like pieces.

    What others should know:

    Be careful when attaching the metal brackets to the plastic screen. Careful to keep the screws going straight and don't over tighten.

    Things I liked:

    These lights worked as advertised. With them I can measure .17 caliber indoors. Without them .22 is the smallest caliber the chrony will pick-up.

    Things I would have changed:

    I'd knock $10 off the price.

    What others should know:

    These lights come with a complete set of diffusers and rods.

    Things I liked:

    They make error messages go away! standard light bulbs found at home depot.

    Things I would have changed:

    connect with single plug. I used a power strip to connect to a single plug

    What others should know:

    no problem getting readings on pellets. shoot low but watch you do not shoot the read out!

    Things I liked:

    A necessity for indoor testing. They seem well made.

    Things I would have changed:

    Would be good to have the lights wired together through one cord......

    What others should know:

    Kind of pricey, but unless you can build your own, this is the way to go.

    Things I liked:

    Lights are useful for accurate indoor testing.

    Things I would have changed:

    There is a newer CHRONY light system using LED lights - I would prefer them for long-life and durability, but they cost significantly more than this set. I would like the wiring combined into one plug-in.

    Things I liked:

    All of the parts fit like they were designed- very easy installation.

    Things I would have changed:

    Having two seperate cords is quite messy, but it may be better for some. It is a little pricy for 2 incandescent lamps and some stamped steel.

    Things I liked:

    These lights allow the Chrony to be used indoors. They were easy to add to the Chrony.

    Things I would have changed:

    It is hard to read the Chrony in the attic we shoot in and we needed to add an extra light. If the Skyscreen had a light for viewing the Chrony and also a single electrical connection for the lights would be better than two.

    What others should know:

    The Chrony gives my brother and I a real tool to understand how our AF Condors are operating with different air pressures. The Skyscreen light kit allows us to be nice and warm indoors durning the winter in Michigan.
