LOL... That's right. I got in trouble for using my Gladius up at work last night. Here's the setup. I was in a very dark pathway doing crowd control and no one was paying attention to the workers directing the flow of traffic. I had it on standard beam mode and thought, "Hey, i wonder what would happen if I used strobe...". So I set it to strobe and we had no more issues with people understanding amazingly enough. Also got mad props from the customers about the light.
So everything is going fine and dandy for HOURS and then some lead runs up to me and tells me we aren't able to use strobe functions at our workplace. Without question and a matter of a second or two before he stopped talking, I switched back to regular beam mode. The lead just said thanks and walked away without further incident.
Asked later about why we aren't allowed to use strobe and the simple answer was because it could cause a seizure. To which I responded, "The show we are working for has strobe effects in it.... so what's the difference? plus nothing is written saying we can't use strobe for guest control...". I just wanted an answer for future reference.... nothing bad... not having a fit. So the lead said just to be on the safe side not to use strobe to which I totally respect and will honor without further question.
However, I now have a question for ya'll. Since I cannot use strobe how about blinking LED?? What is available that will rival the gladius output but with blink mode??
