Strobe light or stroboscopic lamp, commonly called a strobe, is
a device used to produce regular flashes of light. It is one of a
number of devices that can be used as a stroboscope. The word
originated from the Greek strobos, meaning "act of whirling.”
A strobe light flashing at the proper period can appear to
freeze cyclical motion
A typical commercial strobe light has a flash energy in the
region of 10 to 150 joules, and discharge times as short as a
few milliseconds, often resulting in a flash power of several
kilowatts. Larger strobe lights can be used in “continuous”
mode, producing extremely intense illumination.
The light source is commonly a xenon flash lamp, which has a
complex spectrum and a colour temperature of approximately
5,600 kelvins.
This Kit mimics this action on a miniature scale through the
use of Hi Intensity LED’s and microprocessor based sequencer.
******IMPORTANT*******
The module has been designed and
constructed to draw power from your
RC Receiver circuit. Irreparable damage
to the internal components WILL occur
should you attempt to power it from
anything other than an RC Receiver.

The information on LED current
limiting resistors is generic to all LED
applications.
With this kit it is unnecessary to
use a resistor in the circuit as they
are already built in on the Module.
