Make your own LED Stroboscope (for a safety system) superdupergrover: the blue color is more disturbing because the eye has special light sensors for that color blue light- which bypass the normal visual processing portions of the brain and go straight for the pituitary gland. the pituitary gland uses blue light to judge whether it is daytime or not, that's why its a bad idea to look at your phone/computer/tv before bed.

Great build just the stuff was looking for, I think though that three leds about 2. 5 meters away from one another, with slightly different colors and all three set at different frequencies, together with a loud high pitch siren will cause the most discomfort for a burglar. Please do it as an update on this build. Thanks Bro.

Well. I was thinking about something like this but just with a 10W led for using as self-defence at night.
I guess that when strobing the led would not need a heatsink if used for a short burst and even a single 18650 could power it (when fully charged: 4'2V3A12'6W and if strobing it would use even less power than that)

Good videos and tutos GreatScott. I'm far away from electronics because I'm geology engineer, but when start to see your videos I become addicted by electronics and haking. I start already with basics and programming. Thank you Scott from Tunisia. Love German people.

That's actually how you time an engine! A light is triggered to flash when the #1 spark plug fires, and is aimed at the crank pulley. You can then use the stroboscopic effect to make the timing marks on the nose of the crankcase and crank pulley readable.

Love that you are touching on this. I use to go to raves and would spin glowsticks on strings, I noticed when the club would utilize their strobe lights, I could match the frequency and make it look like the glowsticks we're floating straight up.

GreatScott, for all your solder bridges on the bottom of your perfboard (like at 4: 34, do you first put a wire along the path then solder to it? or do you just put a large amount of solder along the path to bridge the copper dots?

How about building a clone of a time frame aka slomo frame. It uses stroblights and I believe a vibrating holder to make a feather or leaf to look like its moving in slow motion, contained in a frame. Its a nice decoration

A few ways to make this more effective:
Use RGB LED and have it randomly change between colours so the human eyes can't adapt.
Have it randomly change between flashing frequency so the human eyes can't adapt.
