Looking for LED Strobe Light

HI guys,
I am looking for some sort of LED strobe light, I think it will be great when I have to go in the woods at night.... I could hang it on a branch before I go in and It will be easy to find my way back since the LED will be really bright and flashing. I am now using "Cyalume light sticks" but figure and LED strobe would be much better.
Any ideas???

The riverrock lantern has a strobe setting- sort of. It's pretty cool......

Try a Glo-Toob FX. There are many posts and threads about them. In short, they are a small, indestructible marker light in a variety of colors and are just what you are looking for.

Have you tried looking into:

MPI Emergency Strobe that'll run for 40 hours at 70°F and weighs in at around 3 ounces with a size of roughly 4 x 1.5 inches.

Or how about the ACR Electronics Firefly Plus Strobe/Flashlight Combo that runs 10 hours on strobe and tips the scale at 5 ounces with dimensional size being 5.3 x 1.5 inches. This one is waterproof to 328 feet (100m).

The MPI runs on a single D size cell battery while the ACR runs on 2 AA batteries either alkylines or lithiums.

Both come in Hi-Viz safety colors with the MPI in red and the ACR in orange.

Well, hope you find what you're looking for and Enjoy!

What about an EternaLight? It has a strobe mode that can be adjusted to a fast or slow rate. Truly a great all-around light, too.

If you are on the budget side, most bike flasher or jogger clip on lights have a stobe, flash, continous or some pattern mode.

I always used a compass to find my way back out. Though I got a little turned around for a couple hours a few times, I never got lost.

Eternalight. Get the new CPF version, I know you won't be sorry.

Inova 24/7. Lots of different strobe modes and a lot of other uses.

I'd suggest taking a small pocket GPS. So many lost hunters and hikers could have avoided the situation by having one.

Just mark a waypoint wherever you wish to return, and you can always get back there. Here's one for $89:

Thanks for all your help!

Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Ps. Keep those ideas coming....more the better

I am with the Eternalight as well, it will strobe for a year or so, variable brightness and frequency, waterproof, and you can't break it.

Eternalight and Inova 24/7 are both great lights and fine choices, BUT: The Glo-Toob is visible from all angles, while the other two lights are pretty much directional, around 180 degrees. Might not mean much to your application, or it might mean everything.

Pick up a couple of the Pelican "flashers".
