Strobe Light
A flashing light, 3 speeds. Causes seizures.
The Strobe Light is an electrical component in Rust that draws no power of its own. It has 3 inputs and no outputs to connect, and 100 health once placed. You can craft it without a workbench.
About the Strobe Light
Of everything on its raid list, the 40mm HE Grenade costs the least sulfur: 6 of them destroy it for 510 sulfur in all. Without a tool cupboard covering it, it starts to decay after 2 days, then goes from full health to nothing in 4 days outdoors; a repair resets the wait.

A damaged Strobe Light can be repaired where it stands with a hammer. Repairing it from nothing to full costs:
×50 ×1 How to repair the Strobe Light
A full repair at a Repair Bench costs 21 × Metal Fragments and 1 × High Quality Metal, and no blueprint is needed.
×21 ×1 Reduction is how much of that damage type never lands. Damage taken is the rest: at 50% reduction a hit for 100 does 50. A negative reduction means the hit lands harder than it would bare.
What the Strobe Light recycles into
A green recycler always gives back 50 × Metal Fragments and 1 × High Quality Metal for one.
