It might be true, but watt a heck for that price you can fit them like a rope light all along your frame and look like Father Christmas came flying in.

I stumbled across another Strobe light. At R160 to R190 you get a variable strobe speed control box with two strobe light globes connected to two extensions.
Works off 12 Volt. The only problem is that you have only the globes, No housings. What plan can one come up with. It seems to be a stronger Watt as well and you get different colour sleeves with.

If I'm correct you meant "tape"?? His strobes has a little plastic base, so he just used epoxy to glue it down neatly!! :DBennie Vorster wrote:Do you just type it or how do you get it fixed Someone might think that they are stoned if a tod glass falls from the sky.

General electrical wholesalers have strobes for about R80 that work very nicely....... at that price you can have on each
Ask them for their catalogue and look for the following product:
Make: Seven Stars strobe beacon
BPM: about 110 per min on 12 volts
Output: 3 watts
Shape: Round beacon
Size: about 80mm diameter x 35mm height
All colours available: red green white amber
Runs perfectly of a 12volt. ive tried it at night off a car battery and its easily visible from 2 miles. Catalogue states it waterproof and vibration proof.
They have a round plastice base with two threaded bolts through for mounting..... easily mountable onto a trike in various positions..... eg: wing tips, the kingpost, the rear of the motor, below the passenger, the wheel spats. top of your flying helmet etc etc etc
I sourced mine from East Rand Electrical in Benoni CBD.... sorry cant remember the exact address or ph number but im sure 1023 will be able to help.......

hi Bennie,
No can do with the photos and addresses at the moment, Im outta the country till mid april......
Basically,they look like the orange "strobe beacon 12-Joule output" from the third site that Pastmaster listed above........
Go into any Electrical distributer and ask to look at their catalogue...... there are quite a few makes and models available..... differant sizes and specs....... i like the "seven stars"..... seems pretty robust, and is nice and compact, waterproof and vibration proof........ they are used quite extensively in the mining industry on top of vehices and earthmovers... and as fire alarm signals.....
Its hard to believe that if a strobe light carries the label of "aircraft part" it costs about 1 k, yet the same technology and parts used with another label cost about R80....
cheers
Stan
