    These stroboscopes come with a calibration certificate traceable to NIST that states they’ve passed a test for accuracy. They shine a bright flashing light at a moving object to make it appear slow moving. Use them to measure speed and to visually inspect belts and pulleys for signs of wear, such as cracking and fraying, without turning off the machine. They have a 1/4”-20 female threaded bushing for tripod mounting.
    LED—LED stroboscopes produce a brighter, more uniform light than xenon stroboscopes. They also consume less battery power and generate less heat.
