Help me settle a bar bet...

Posted by J.Mac (A) on February 14, 2007 at 11:35:13

Last night I'm in my one of my favorite watering holes. The bar has recently set up a DJ booth (and trust me - when the DJ starts up, I find another watering hole). Somehow the conversation comes around to the DJ decks he's installed - some kind of heavy duty Technics POS built to be jumped on by 500lb gorillas and dragged through the mud and still play what they call music.

The guy I'm talking to _insists_ that the timing light on new decks is a "laser". I try telling him it's a strobe light, probably just an LED. I can't convince him that the thing works because it's being strobed and that it's not a steady light, even though it may appear to be.

How can I visually "prove" to him that the timing light is being strobed?
