Beat Tracking Strobe - Strobe lights have always been an integral part of
dance parties, adding an additional element of excitement to the festivities on hand.
The combination of flashing lights and music-especially those with a definitive strong
beat- are a natural complement to one another, where the strobing of light is an
extension and links one's aural perception to his visual senses. The
applications of strobe lights are numerous. In more involved and comprehensive
applications the strobe user would like the strobe to help fuse together the music and
light. For our final project we opted to attempt to create such a strobe system
appropriate for the more complex application by creating a light strobe system that
flashes a light source directly in sync with the music in real time.... [By: Chris

Flash Slave Trigger (Aaron Cake) - Flash slaves are used when you need to
supplement1-flash unit with1-or several more. This slave trigger simply triggers
those other units. It does this by "seeing" the first flash (using a phototransistor)
and triggering the other flashes a few microseconds later. The sensitivity of the
circuit is adjustable to compensate for ambient light or dimmer than usual master
flashes. (added 5/02) |

Photo Flash Charger Minimizes Parts Count - 10/22/98 EDN-Design
Ideas.... Photo-flash and strobe devices operate by discharging a high-voltage
capacitor into a bulb. Charging the capacitor from a battery or other low-voltage
source requires a step-up dc/dc converter to boost the voltage, typically to 300V. One
way to generate the high voltage.... [Design Idea by Steven Chenetz, Micrel

capacitor charge up which triggers the Diac and causes the triac to turn on.

Xenon Lamp Flash Detector - This circuit uses a small 2.5mm square photo
diode in conjunction with a 100mH coil to detect the short light flashes from a xenon
lamp. The coil makes the circuit immune to normal room lights. Its 10mv
sensitivity can detect light flashes from a range of over 100 feet. Reflections
from a room’s walls and ceiling is usually enough to trigger the circuit. The
entire circuit draws only 3 Microamps from a 6 to 9 volt battery. …. [Designed by

Xenon Strobe Light - A xenon flash tube is a triggered gas discharge device.
A voltage may be impressed across the tube and it will not conduct until the xenon gas
is ionised by an external high voltage (typically 3 to 5kV). Once triggered, the gas
becomes a very low impedance, and discharges the storage capacitors in about 1ms (this
varies considerably, but this figure is fine for basic calculations) [Rod Elliott
