Strobe for detector

DETAILED DESCRIPTION A strobe in accordance with the present invention incorporates a multi-element reflector which can be supported in a housing.
Some of the elements of the reflector correspond to partial parabolic surfaces.
Some of the surfaces extend axially and are contiguous to one another.
Other surfaces protrude from the axially extending surfaces at angles on the order of 90 degrees and 45 degrees respectively.
An elongated cylindrical radiant energy source is carried extending co-extensively with the axially extending reflector surfaces.
The source extends past the protruding reflector elements and is generally symmetrical with respect to the element extending on the order of 90 degrees from the axially oriented surfaces.
The plurality of axially extending, partial parabolic surfaces could be blended together to form a smooth, continuously changing surface.
