I wouldn't use a strobe light. They disorient me badly, especially after dark, and I get headaches if I'm exposed for more than a few seconds. Now, they *might* have that effect on an attacker, but before you try it, I'd suggest making very sure that you wouldn't disable yourself more than the other guy.
