Why we like it

Strobe Light stands out in the superhive library because it bundles several scene-specific lighting effects, from thunder to police car lamps, into one Blender pack for EEVEE. Note that it runs on Windows only and updates for the product are suspended.

What is Strobe Light?

Strobe Light is a pack of six animated lamps for Blender, each adapted to a specific situation. The set covers Car Giro Light, Car flash Light, Thunder Light, Suspense Light, Strobe Light and Flashing Light, with police car lamps added in a later update. It is built for Blender's EEVEE engine.

A properties panel lets you manage the frequency of effects, speed and size, and switch the lamp type between Point, Spot and Area. The pack ships with a demonstration scene for the Thunder Lamp, and documentation is included. It is ready for Blender 2.80 and listed as compatible with versions 2.8, 2.81, 2.82 and 2.83.

Strobe Light is developed for Windows users only, with a stated minimum setup of an i7 2.6GHz CPU, 4GB of RAM, a GTX 950 4GB GPU and Windows 10. The product is offered under a royalty-free license. Updates for this product are suspended.

Frequently asked questions

What Blender versions does Strobe Light support?

Strobe Light is ready for Blender 2.80 with the EEVEE engine and is listed as compatible with Blender 2.8, 2.81, 2.82 and 2.83. The six lamps and their effects are built around EEVEE, so that engine is the intended environment. Keep in mind that updates for the product are suspended, so newer Blender releases beyond those listed are not covered by the developer. For the latest details, check the developer's page.

Does Strobe Light work on Mac or Linux?

Strobe Light is developed only for Windows users, so Mac and Linux are not supported by the developer. The stated minimum setup is an i7 2.6GHz processor, 4GB of RAM, a GTX 950 4GB graphics card and Windows 10. If your machine meets those requirements on Windows, the pack should run as intended. For any configuration outside that, refer to the developer's page before deciding.

Is Strobe Light free to use?

Strobe Light is listed as free here in the catalog, and the product is offered under a royalty-free license. Licensing terms can change over time, so for the current arrangement and any usage conditions it is best to confirm on the developer's page. The pack itself includes six lamps, a properties panel and a demonstration scene for the Thunder Lamp. Documentation is also included with the pack.

How do you control the effects in Strobe Light?

Strobe Light includes a properties panel where you manage the frequency of effects, speed and size, and choose the lamp type between Point, Spot and Area. The pack contains six lamps, each adapted to a specific situation, covering Car Giro Light, Car flash Light, Thunder Light, Suspense Light, Strobe Light and Flashing Light. A demonstration scene for the Thunder Lamp is included, along with documentation, and a demo video is available.
