I don't know the answer. Presumably the light is a neon? If so, will any neon
that *will fit* do?

Oh well, if I've ****ed Don off I might as well give up and tell him to use a
couple of paper 'strobe disks' - no other bugger here will have a clue....

The strobe is timed by a family of little cockroaches. Perhaps the HT has come
adrift from their ferris wheel, or perhaps they are in bed with flu.

Or it is a discharge lamp equally on the margin of being shagged out, and a
torch is just enough to trigger it until it gets warm.

Just to save you the embarrassment of talking to yourself.

What colour is the light? Could it feasibly be some other form of discharge
lamp? Neons are commonly used in cheap automotive strobes. The good ones have
the same as electronic camera flash heads...what's that, xenon?

I would guess a replacement of same type and physical size should give similar
brightness, require similar voltage, and draw similar current. Could be wrong.
What is it connected to, mains? Watch out for possibility of dropper resistor
incorporated, possibly into a lead.

If you want a question answering, you should post a stupid theory about how you
already know the answer.
