Palm-sized High Brightness LED Strobe
Pocket Strobe P-1 is a handheld LED stroboscope. An ultra-lightweight strobe that can be carried in your pocket is an ideal tool for use on business trips and for simple inspections on-site. While fully exploiting the advantages of LED, sufficiently short flash duration and large light intensity have been achieved. With a maximum flashing frequency of 360,000 FPM (flashes per minute), it illuminates a wide range uniformly and brightly. Since no sound is emitted during flashing, it is suitable for use in quiet surroundings.P-1 illuminates the area of 120×150mm uniformly and brightly from a distance of 300 mm.
Xenon lamp strobes feature instantaneous flash light of high intensity. For example, flash duration of our xenon strobe DS-4AA is as fast as 6 µsec (1/166,000 second) at the flash frequency of 6,000 FPM. A clear still image is obtained even when the object to be observed is moving/rotating at very high speed and/or is very small. On the other hand, LED strobes emit a large amount of light by adjusting the flash duration. The LED strobe P-1 obtains the same amount of light as DS-4AA with a flash duration of 15 µsec (1/66,000 second), which is fast enough to acquire a clear still image in ordinary rotational speed measurement and observation.
