Thanks, Steve


A few years ago Tim Mara was Kind enough to include an A.C.R. hand held personal C-Strobe in an order I made. This one uses two AA batteries which would be 3 volts.
If one had the desire and some small skill in fabrication, a "small AA battery powered strobe about the size of a wing tip light" albeit not streamlined could exist. no claim made by me about brightness, duration, or electro magnetic noise.

Hi Scott,
Not sure what a A.C.R. hand held personal C-Stobe is?

If the strobe flashes for 10 mSec once a sec, this is only
0.08 AHr, trivial for 10 AHr bat.

However, I can find no info on the human eye response for
a. minimum flash duration needed
b. maximum at which no further increase improves visibility.

Has anyone found a white LED strip for strobe operation?
