What kind of lamp to use with a stroboscopic disc?


Hey,
I downloaded and printed out a strobe disc to check the speed on my SOTA Sapphire. But what kind of light or lamp do you need to get the disc to work properly?
Thanks!

Thanks for telling us about the app, brf.  I would never have thought to check for an app.  If you are too non-tech to go that route, the no-brainer solution is to buy the hand-held, battery powered strobe from KAB.  Along with their strobe disc, you will have a very accurate estimate of speed.  The others are correct to say that depending upon a steady 60Hz AC line frequency powering the bulb is chancy.
