Anyone try uaing one of the new super bright white LEDs for a strobe?
Somehow I doubt you could get a short enough flash to be
practical and I wonder about the max rep rate.
Intrested in the results if any one ever tries it.

I don't know about white LEDs, but some of the small high speed (30
KRPM) winders I've been involved with use red LEDs as built-in strobes,
but not very bright.
LED arrays with sub-millisecond flash duration for high speed machine
vision illumination are common. The LEDs are driven hard to get
brightness, so duty cycle is relatively low.

You could get white light from three (RGB) LEDs and have the high speed.
It could even have many LEDs to get the desired brightness.
