Default Re: Turntable Stroboscope

Regarding the perceived brightness of the LED, there's a phenomenon whereby a short duration flash is seen as being brighter than one of longer duration, even of the the same actual brightness. It's too long now since I was an optometry student, and I've gone off in altogether another direction since, so the details now elude me, but I'd expect a 208μs flash to be comfortably in the relevant range.
