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.

Thanks Jonathan for posting this. I have tried to find a simple LED strobe that I could attach to the glider that would use self-contained battery power. perhaps one on the bottom of fuselage and another behind the canopy. I have done a bit of searching on the web trying to find something - but haven't seen anything yet. If anyone is aware of such an device - would appreciate the info.

In 2017 I designed and installed an LED white strobe driven by
a 10 amp power mosfet,sourced from a 12v 1 ah battery plus super
caps, 2x 5v to give an 18v low impedance power source.
A back to back pair of Chinese 10W white LED s on top of the hor. stab.
The 200msec pulse of 4A 1pps, flash is visible in gloomy
conditions at 400 m. The power stack is recharged by a 12v to 18v
up converter supplied from the glider main bat.
No idea if anyone was alerted.
