Glass fibres are used in fail safe situations like road line markings
where a group of bulbs may be used in one place (so that failure of one
will not affect the light source much) and the light transfered to
various places on the road surface through bundled glass fibres.
Has anyone thought of using such a system for strobe lights? Say two
sources or one source with two bulbs and glass delivery to wingtips and
rear fuselage or fin delivery points?
