You can enhance the brightness at 120 volts by upping the gauge of the power cable you run between your distro and the strobe. These strobes work by firing the lamp directly across the AC line for a small fraction of the AC waveform. At that point, the only thing limiting the power flow is the resistance of the power cable. Although the prorated duration of the direct (or near, as there is some drop across the lamp) short is too brief to trip out OCPD or the unit fuse, getting rid of (or minimizing) external resistance can really give it some kick!
Note- In "blinder mode" they are still only passing a fraction of the waveform, they are just doing it on every cycle.
