Page 26: Strobe Brightness
6.0 STROBE BRIGHTNESS The strobe’s brightness depends on how wide the strobe’s flash pulse is; the wider the pulse, the brighter the flash from the LEDs appears to be. There is however, a downside to the wider pulses. All strobes work by giving short bursts of light (the pulse width) at a rapid repetition rate (the flash rate). -
Page 27: Brightness In Degrees Of Rotation
When setting the pulse duration in degrees, what you set is what you get. Refer to the image on the right for the difference between a 1° and 5° (of rotation) flash duration. There are two methods of adjusting the flash pulse width and hence the brightness and consequently the blur. -
