Folks,

I'm looking for a strobe circuit that will
1) run from 12 Volts
2) drive a high-power flash
3) flash from once to twice per scond

The idea is to put it at the top of the mast of a cruising boat to be
switched on in 'desperate times'.

If anybody can help out with info, I'd be most appreciative. I just tried
to order one from an American company, but they only send to USA, Mexico
and
Canada!

Thanks,

MikeC

I have an old 12 volt strobe from RS Components, the electrical supplies
company and the ref. no. is 565-440. It happens to be orange, but I would
think the glass is interchangeable.

I used this 12V strobe from RS. Took the flash tube out and mounted it inside
the clear anchor light so that it did not obstruct the light bulb already in
there.
The electronics from the strobe were re housed in a PVC tube with end caps and
the lot was fitted just under the anchor light inside the mast. 3 wires led
down from this, common , anchor light , strobe. Since there would never be both
lights on a single common wire was sufficient and a 3 core mains cable could be
used to run inside the mast.
