The Wheelock MS series is a series of 30 candela remote strobes and strobe plates. The strobes were also available on combination strobe devices.

History

The MS series was released together with the LS series and HSW series between 1993 and 1994 to meet the NFPA strobe intensity requirements.[1][2] Since this strobe met the UL 1971 light distribution requirements, many of the devices with LS strobe models also had MS strobe models.

The MS remote strobes and strobe plates were phased out after the release of the RS and RSP, which functioned very similarly. Combination strobes such as the MT-24-MS-VFR remained in production until the early 2000s, with the ET-1080-MS-24-VFR in production until 2004.
