The Bull that I have draws 0.36 amps at 12 volts, so that's 4.25 watts, the same as the most powerful current LED flashers that I've seen. Keep in mind that when the Bull came out, it sold for $125 as a bare fixture, so it was pretty cutting edge at the time. They hurt to look at even in the daytime, so it's unlikely that even if you could make a brighter strobe that it would be of much use, so the Bull is probably still not a bad choice, especially if you can get a good deal on one.
