This Xenon Strobe Flasher uses a simple 6V dc input from a power supply or batteries (not supplied) to trigger a high voltage onboard xenon flash tube.
Circuit uses a neon tube to trigger the xenon U-flashtube. The flash rate is fixed but we explain how you can vary it by changing resistor and/or capacitor values.
Onboard fuse protection. Pre-wound transformer.
Spare xenon tubes are available (Order Code U106A)
