We used to be able to buy these US strobes in the UK via an agent. Low
power requirements, 2 amps, and the ones on my aeroplane have been
working for 17 years. One on the fin and one under the fuselage. I
notice they now produce an LED version.

might work for you. Whelen are good, but they draw about 14 amps when you have
the Nav lights and Strobe on. I had to put a 40 Amp on my Jabiru to handle
the load for night flights.
