Stroboscopes were originally used as toys. Then they began to be used also in the field of entertainment - at discos and parties. They didn’t pass by cars either. Special signals and car diagnostics are not complete without them.
A stroboscope is an electrical device that emits light. Its initial use is as a toy. It is a device capable of continuously producing repetitive bright flashes. After toys, they found use in the field of entertainment for older people. At discos, parties, concerts, it is used to this day. But even for cars, the stroboscope remains an indispensable device. Let's consider the options for its execution.
For car diagnostics and tuning
The entire engine works only due to the fact that the shafts rotate synchronously, and the adjustment is made strictly according to the marks. But it is not always possible to set the coincidence of marks with great accuracy by eye. This applies, first of all, to the setting of the ignition timing. When carrying out this procedure, accuracy is needed, otherwise engine detonation, increased fuel consumption, slow speed gain cannot be avoided.
With the help of automobile strobe lights, the ignition is regulated very quickly and easily. It is only necessary to direct its beam to the desired mark. In addition, strobe lights for engine diagnostics and tuning have a number of secondary functions. For example, a built-in tachometer with low error. Or, in addition to this, there is also a tester designed to measure resistance, voltage and current. Car strobe lights are ideal for all car brands, regardless of the year of manufacture.
Decoration and special signals
Stroboscopes also have an "entertainment" function. Decorating a car with such lighting will significantly transform it. There are many types of strobe lights for interior and vehicle body lighting, rims. Remember that while driving on public roads, it is not only unsafe to use such lighting, but also illegal. From the point of view of energy saving, if you look, you can see that the classic stroboscope circuits are built on xenon lamps. They are bright and do not consume much electricity. But recently, you can often find strobe lights on LEDs.
Special signals are also referred to as stroboscopes. Police, ambulance, fire brigade, all of them are equipped with a car with a printed color scheme and installed flashing beacons. These beacons can be of various types. Older versions are a rotating reflector with a lamp (although it is still used today). New types are LED matrices made in the form of standard flashers. The blinking frequency depends on the setting of the circuit. Beacons are also installed under the radiator grill on special vehicles.
