What I did for a strobe light was to pull out the neon lamp from
an old electric wok.  Wired it to the end of a line cord with a
resistor in series and placed it into a ink pen shell.  Voila, I
had a strobe pen I could just point at the disk (all lights off
of course).  The neon has the advantage over the fluorescent
in that it is not 'persistant', but the disadvantage is that it is
quite dim.  I just put a thin sliver of white tape on the motor
shaft and could see it quite well strobing.
