Before I got the LabRadar I adapted my ProChrono for indoor use.
When Caldwell first came out with their V.1 chrono it was offered with an optional infrared light kit that mounts like light baffles over the screen detectors.
It came with both battery pack and wall wart 110v adapter.
I got just the light kit and it fit just fine on the ProChrono with a little persuasion.
After using it at the indoor range which has fluorescent lights (worked great)
I got tired of the hassle of setting it up and adjusting it when I could even get to it.
In the 30 years I have used the 2 ProChronos I have had I have never shot one to death.
Current one has a couple little dings from shrapnel when I let the range owner shoot over it.
Suspect he was shooting plated bullets too fast and they disintegrated.

I notice Competition Electronics now offers a light kit for the ProChrono but it has no battery pack.
I would need to pack a long extension cord to use 100V at my range. There are no convenient outlets.
Recommend the Caldwell lights if they are still a thing.

The 95 on the ProChrono screen is from shooting a rubber band as fast as I could across it.
Kinda told me the lighting kit was working.
