That is cool looking but wil mess your brain. I believe strobes can create seizures in some folks.

I don't know about the seizures, have heard of this, but I know they really mess with my eyes... even driving down a shady road where the sun strobes through the trees gives me a bad time.

A lot of wood turners use it for muti-axis turning to verify that you're getting a consistent look. In addition it is useful for checking the edge on natural edge bowls.
For me, it is just too disorienting to use for more than a few minutes. And it looks really cool!
With all due respect to the original "cool" concept, not a chance in hell I am going to try using a razor sharp chisel on a spinning piece of wood with a strobe light flashing away.
Maybe it's cool, but so are my fingers and hands and eyes - which are all in tact right now.
