Here's one for all you tech-heads out there, but why do some strobe lights only flash every week or so? Sometimes they appear not to be on at all, and then one flashes before going back to sleep!
Because the flash is so quick it happens in-between a lot of the frames a camera can catch per second. If a camera catches 25 frames per second, a strobe can often flash inbetween those frames. But if it catches 60 frames per second then the camera is more likely to pick up a lot more strobe flashes in a frame. Also depends on the definition - the greater definition, the more pixels are captured and thus are more likely to capture the spread of light around the beacon.
CobraEmergencyVideos - Europe......Thanks for your detailed reply. I never thought of that! I think because some of the 'bowl' strobes on this compilation appear to flash more often than others, I believed it was something to do with the light units themselves. I just assumed some of them were on their way out!!! Nice vid, by the way.
Some of The older ones did only flash every couple of seconds. Not only because of frame rate. Partly due to lighting regulations that flashings lights have to spend an equal or longer period off than on. And also because in England we don't like flashing things. It irritates us and is distasteful.
Well DAF aint British but are built in Lancashire so they would be a start! We should be showing our own products not overseas junk bought on the cheap. Dennis should make a comeback.
John Johnstone couldn't agree more since they became Alexander Dennis I think if they did they would be amazing. the old dennises were just incredible the bullhorn on them is incredible
