Abstract
The invention pertains to a stroboscopic timing light for use with internal combustion engines. The reflector assembly is designed to increase the proportion of light from a flash tube that becomes part of a focused light beam. The reflector assembly comprises a pair of angled reflectors or series of reflectors forming a frusto-pyramid-like structure which reflects an array of images of a flash lamp. These images reflect the substantial portion of the light from the flash lamp while providing a cost effective and relatively inexpensive reflector assembly.
