Strobe light on glider

Almost on topic: a quote from John Good's report from WGC2017:

"One notable quirk is a requirement for flashing yellow lights on all vehicles that drive onto the airfield. This curious rule comes not from the contest organization, the gliding club, or the Australia aviation authorities, but rather from the local town government. In the (dangerously) bright Victoria sunlight, a flashing yellow light improves vehicle visibility by a distance measured in centimeters (in some cases you have to look closely to determine that the light is indeed on)."

A while ago several people remarked that Schleicher gliders offer a strobe was an option.

Below is an URL to a youtube video of such strobe. Typically the strobe is coupled with an unit from LxNav that allow the strobe to be on, only flash with Flarm warning, or off.

Appreciate all the discussion - thanks to all who have contributed.

If you want to have strobe lights when you wish to fire them up (situation or Flarm warnings) then it might be worth considering a relatively low tech option with a controller and some "bullet" LED's. I have purchased a kit (controller and three bullet LED's) but have not yet fitted them, so no "review" yet. Have a look at the link..
