If you cant find that use a potatoes masher style strobe. Those are quite quaint and easy to find. And powerful as hell. You'll be able to shoot f11 20 feet away and nothing will be out of focus. And if you bounce it off the ceiling and you wont have only one distance point exposed right. As the whole room gets lit up with out tunnel effect. - - from my iRabs.
