Are you sure about the 4 joule vs. 25 joule rating? The rating for the
individual strobes tubes I have is given as 32 watts each.

I want to say the automotive strobes for public safety were all 10 joule
type systems, except for the "Piercer" which was a white, PAR 36 strobe
head with a 20 joule flash. The Piercer was popular back in the mid 80's
before it was replaced by newer models.

I concur that the aviation stuff is in the 20-30 joule range from what I
am seeing in the marketing literature and websites out there.

Essentially the aviation stuff is brighter/more intense compared to
automotive. I am curious what the candela of the automotive strobes are
and if they meet spec.
