Speaking of strobes, Performance has one for about $20-30 if I remember
correctly.  Uses two AA-cells, has a strobe on one end and a backup light
on the other.  O-rings on both seals, magnetic reed switch, rated to 100m.
And it's small - AA batteries mounted side by side and the two light heads,
easily stowed in a BC pocket and has a lanyard.  Only slightly larger than
a marker light (like a Princeton).

Works great.  You might not want it to mark an anchor line in dark NJ water
but it's fine otherwise, and never leaked on me.  And it beats a "dedicated"
strobe since you can use the flashlight end as a backup in emergencies.  Not
bad for cheap Performance gear.  If you want exact make/model/price mail me
back, I don't feel like digging through my gear locker at this hour :-)
