Re: FX-6A flashtube availability and data

The diodes come in so many mcandles of light. if all were the same then
the Green would blast the eye, then red and blue depending on the age of victim.

Look at the sensitivity curve of light for the eye - it is complex.

Why would it need to be perfect? I would think close to white would be fine. You could just use the correct number of red, green, and blue LEDs and current drive them. You could even dump a cap into them with a SCR or power mos device to get high peak power. A processor could do the display and timing.

You would need a uP scanner with a program for delay and dwell between and on each diode.
That or buy perfect spectral set of eye sensitivity level.

So not so easy but doable.

Anyone try uaing one of the new super bright white LEDs for a strobe?


Somehow I doubt you could get a short enough flash to be
practical and I wonder about the max rep rate.
Intrested in the results if any one ever tries it.

I don't know about white LEDs, but some of the small high speed (>30
KRPM) winders I've been involved with use red LEDs as built-in strobes,
but not very bright.

LED arrays with sub-millisecond flash duration for high speed machine
vision illumination are common. The LEDs are driven hard to get
brightness, so duty cycle is relatively low.

Like this:

You could get white light from three (RGB) LEDs and have the high speed.
It could even have many LEDs to get the desired brightness.
