Quite often burglars are drug users. The purpose of a strobe is if the burglar has dropped an e recently and they see a strobe light they will stop what they are doing and start dancing like a loon. The strobe can keep them dancing for up to 12 hours, which is almost long enough for police to attend and catch them. If they can be bothered.
Newer strobes have a 24 hr guarantee which was brought in under the Sorry We Can't Attend Right Now, All Units Are Utilised Act 2015. Quote this and I guarantee you'll get a Distinction.
