That cover is molded into a classic Fresnel lens, similar to one found on a traditional lighthouse. In this case, it would be trying to direct the photons from the point source into a uniform, parallel set outward.
If I'm remembering correctly, the "trick" with the incandescent lamp flashers was that they flashed at a fast enough rate so the filament didn't cool down completely between flashes, lessening the thermal shock and so on
Strobes are amazing. But especially the old ones. Even though they dont flash for a couple of milliseconds, these would be great for warning people because of the brightness and timing. Similar to a rotary fire truck light.
Nice product! Almost reminds me of an Edwards Adaptabeacon or Federal Signal AV-1 without a horn. Is Maxi the original maker or was it rebranded by them? I have never heard of them.
A company called Tomar Electronics is the original manufacturer and Maxi Signal rebrands them. Tomar and Maxi seemed to be related or at least Maxi rebrands a majority of Tomar equipment.

The chip is a CMOS 4 input NAND gate. 34th week, 1988. The 555 timer was invented in 1971, so interesting they didn't use it.
Ah I see. I don’t know much about chips so I just assumed it was a 555 timer.
That’s soo cool!!! Keep making these amazing videos!!
Thank you very much! I’m glad you liked it!

It reminds me of the light that's on the luggage conveyor belt at the airport

It reminds me of a federal signal 851

Ohhhh! i love those!
Oo incandescent cool
Cool Video!!!
COOL KEEP IT UP
Obviously you put it through the inside of the wall and in the gas tanks allows me to make a good seal
So amounts through the inside of the wall
