I am watching How It's Made on the SCI channel.The tv program guy said a
strobe light can be ajusted to make it appear a moving fan blade has
stopped.Is there another way to do that without the flickering of using
a strobe light?

It just occurred to me that the strobe lights and circuits take a finite amount of time to charge ! and discharge very quickly to give the flashing strobe effect.

It also occurred to me that superbrite white LED's should fire very quickly so by using a 555 timer and an appropriate driver would give you a quick strobe ! Without that recharging delay !!

I will have to try this on my testbench soon !

Could work, would be interesting, but wouldn't be able to touch a xenon tube for brightness.

Personally, I like Vista, but I probably won't use it. I like it
because it generates considerable business for me in consulting and
upgrades. As long as there is hardware and software out there that
doesn't work, I stay in business. Incidentally, my company motto is
"If this stuff worked, you wouldn't need me".
