The strobe effect is hardware-driven (no separate controller needed) — the string flashes in a synchronized rhythm. Total lit length: 25 ft per string. Spec to know: strobe strings count as their own visual layer — mix with non-strobe strings on the same tree\/bush for the \"static + strobe\" combo that residential customers ask for.
