An improved flashing beacon strobe in which high intensity halogen gas filled gaseous discharge tubes are used as a light source. The gaseous tubes are strobed at a desired rate by a switched high voltage high current power source. Rotating cylindrical lenses with variously colored sections are placed coaxially upon each gaseous discharge tube. In one embodiment, two gaseous discharge tubes are each equipped with a rotating cylindrical lens and a V-shaped mirror is placed between the cylindrical lenses to prevent interference and increase dispersion. Dispersion is further enhanced by using fresnel type lens material. The cylindrical lenses are rotated synchronously, a system which includes an electrical motor, rotating pods and a timing chain which maintains a constant angular relationship between the cylindrical lenses.

An improved flashing strobe beacon, as the type in which a fixed mounted high intensity light source emits light through a circumferential rotating lens, wherein the improvement comprises: (a) a base made of a rigid material; (b) at least one gaseous discharge high intensity strobe lamp connected to said base; (c) two cylindrical lens through which coaxially mounted said gaseous discharge high intensity strobe lamp is mounted; whereby light emitted by said gaseous discharge high intensity strobe lamp must exit; and, wherein the outer cylindrical surface and the top circular surface of said cylindrical lens are comprised of at least two sections of variously colored fresnel light dispersing materials wherein said circular top surface is defined by two radii and said outer cylindrical surface is defined by downward projections of said radii, said two cylindrical lenses each containing one of said coaxially mounted gaseous discharge high intensity strobe lamps separated by a V-mirror such that light radiated along an axis connecting said cylinders is reflected perpendicularly to said axis, thereby further dispersing said light and preventing mixing of light from both of said cylindrical lenses.
