Under what circumstances would you use a strobe light?
Would it be part of your BoB? Wouldn't its use be very limited due to the battery lifetime?
My reasons for asking are:
1/ I presume they are ineffective in daylight, which rules out hazard warning.
2/ Even in the dark, would a portable strobe light have enough power to be seen?
3/ Even if it did have enough power, its a very one directional beacon - would you be sure your pointing it the right direction?
I should point out I am assuming a lot here, I am not saying I am right. Just interested.
