Abstract: A gobo with a substrate having at least one peripheral edge a body extending from the peripheral edge, the body having two faces and a structural network on at least one of the two faces, the structural network generally extending to the peripheral edge. An optical pattern is disposed on or through the body, with the structural network extending on the body only to an edge of the optical pattern. The structural network is integral with the substrate.

Abstract: A strobe light system for use with a camera, the strobe light system including an LED light source, a triggering signal input for the reception of a triggering signal, an electrical power source and a control circuit. The control circuit is coupled to the LED light source. The control circuit has a first transistor and a second transistor. The first transistor, the second transistor and the LED are electrically in series with the electrical power source. The first transistor is controlled to establish an electrical power level that is to be conducted through the LED. The second transistor being subject to the triggering signal to thereby electrically conduct for a predetermined amount of time thereby establishing an electrical current pulse through the LED.

Abstract: Apparatus, systems and methods for disrupting night vision ability in an area surrounding the apparatus, where a first trigger is configured for generating a first activation signal for the apparatus. A sensor may be configured to detect a physical characteristic in or around the apparatus. A second trigger may be operatively coupled to the sensor to provide a second activation signal based on the detected physical characteristic in the sensor. A control circuit, which may include a strobing circuit, may be operatively coupled to the first and second trigger. A plurality of light emitting diodes may be arranged in a predetermined pattern, wherein the control circuit is configured to cause illumination of each of the plurality of light emitting diodes in a predetermined pattern to disrupt night vision in the area.
