CDI LED Strobe Schematic

[Al in Raleigh]

Here is the schematic for the CDI LED Strobe. The IC is thought to be an AC input optoisolator with some sort of triac or transistor output even though it is not marked. I could not find an IC that I thought to be correct. What is neat is that there are 2 other circuits on the PC board not populated.

The strobe William gave me to make the schematic did not work. The reason it did not work was C1 had one side not soldered. We plan to put the strobe back together and experiment with it some. Precharging these likely is not hurting them.

It is very well made. The base is potted inside to prevent water infiltration. There is a gasket between the cover and base. I am impressed.
