Strobe tube kits are highly versatile

Strobe lights do an excellent job as hideaway lights and among the many reasons that make it suitable for the job is the clear strobe tubes. Strobe tube kits allow these tubes to be mounted anywhere inside the vehicle, or fitted into any existing outside lights. Strobe tubes are generally versatile in nature and will work with most major brands of power supply units. Strobe tubes may be screwed in by mounting screws or may just be fit for a standard 1” hole and clasped in place by silicone.

Though strobe lights may be designed differently for different purposes, average strobe tube kits will do many jobs. There are all purpose strobe tube kits that can be used with equal facility in a fire truck, in show cars, in undercover operations, or as a store-away in any vehicle for emergencies. Strobe tube kits that have on an average a 12' wiring harness and have got 4 tubes will do all these jobs quite satisfactorily.

The fact that manufacturers allow a high level of customization for strobe tube kits makes it a popular choice for many purposes. 90 watt strobe tube kits may have six or more strobe tube assemblies, 15' or more length of cables and connectors, and toggle switch, for which customers will be able to select more than two dozens of flash patterns.

Small strobe tube kits with a single tube are also available for emergency uses. They can be mounted with magnetic mounts or can be used as handheld flashlights. These come in handy as parking lights in private vehicles when parked in unexpected places, for pedestrians' use, in bicycles, or in motorbikes. Fishermen sometimes carry these small lights in their boats, and they are used by hunters and hikers as well.

The strobe tubes powered by strobe tube kits may be straight or U-shaped tubes, or may even be fashioned into oval or ring-shaped patterns. A typical xenon strobe tube will be filled with xenon gas and hermetically sealed. Tungsten is used in the making of the electrodes with anode being made of purer tungsten and cathode of porous tungsten. Quartz or borosilicate is generally used for making the tube and the electrodes will be soldered to the tube with a mechanical seal or may be fused with the tube material.

Strobe tube kits are extensively used in show cars. These will have many standard built-in flash patterns. In addition to it, users will be given a guidance manual with which they can program different flash patterns to rise and fall with the music that is being played. There are also strobe tube kits that can be fixed in such a way that they will light two parts of a vehicle like the front and back, or above the car and under the car area. There are options even for switching the mode of those lights that are accommodated into the car headlights or taillights for concealed lighting. They can be easily converted into dancing lights.
