Strobe Light

Japanese: ストロボライト
Strobe Light
Originally, the term meant a neon or xenon filled flashlight used to measure the rotation speed of a high speed rotating object, a so-called stroboscopic light, and a more specific application of this is the stroboscope. Currently, it often refers to a device that incorporates a xenon flashlight, capacitor, and charger for photography (see figure). The correct term is electronic flashlight.
