I'm building a circuit for a safety device which has a strobe on each side of the enclosure.
Does anyone know of a strobe schematic which shows how you can run two strobes that blink at the same time? I want to minimize the number of parts required. Therefore have them use the same High Voltage circuit / other components that can be shared... what i'm unsure on is whether the neon lamp can be shared. Possibly the only thing that needs to be independent is the trigger coil and the xenon tubes itself.
Perhaps if i'm trying to drive 2 5W tubes i could find a design rated for 10 watts and just put two trigger coils in parallel?
As mentioned above my target blink rate is rather slow. Around 1 flash / 2 seconds (possibly even slower).
Thanks for any suggestions,
