Bike mounted strobe
 
Looking for a white light that is a strobe, rechargeable and somewhere along the lines of 5+ flashes per second. I will be replacing a Planet Bikes Blaze that is noisy as all hell and not very bright.

I am very happy with my Dinotte lights - the white lights have a strobe mode, and they are bright. I had a planet bike blaze on one of my bikes - the generator powered version, and I liked it because it had the flashing mode, but it wasn't very bright, and it fell apart after a couple of years. Replaced it with a supernova E3 which is plenty bright, but doesn't flash.

A "strobe" is a specific type of flashing light. Most lights do not have "strobe" circuitry.

strobe light A lamp that produces very short, intense flashes of light by means of an electric discharge in a gas. The ability of strobe lights to "freeze" the motion of rapidly moving objects by making them visible for only a fraction of a second makes them very useful in photography and in measuring vibration and other types of high-speed motion.

Not sure if this is what you are looking for but it seems to fit my needs.

Yes, the thing is incredibly noisy due to a low cost build. I like the flash mode but I hate that is squeaks and rattles like that is its sole purpose. It is a piece of ****.

White Zone 5? - http://www.niteflux.com/Products_WhiteZone5.aspx

i've got some RZ4s, and they're impressive. i should have my WZ5 by the weekend.

FWIW, the WZ5 will likely put my blaze 2W into retirement, and it will be supplemented with a "see" light.
