Out of all the xenon strobes, which is your favourite?
I think Wheelock’s ceiling-mounted xenon strobes (found on the MCC and MCCH devices) are the most elegant of the bunch.
I also think Wheelock strobes look good. I particularly like the ZNS/ZRS. I’m also a fan of the Gentex strobes (particularly the ones on the ceiling mount speaker/strobes.
Truthfully, my favorite xenon strobe design has been the original Genesis line. For a product that was released in the 1990s, for it to have probably the most elegant low-profile design while also using a full size xenon strobe, when most other manufacturers still make theirs clumsily even with the advent of LED, goes to show how good EST had it in the 90s.
I’ve always liked the simplex 4904 strobes
I call them the “Simplex Soap Bars”.
I like them too (particularly the white ceiling mount ones). They look nice, but I know they are the absolute worst to install and uninstall.

Not an american device but european but it is a manufacturer you have it the US. The KAC (system sensor) EMA series come in many variations tones and strobes wise. They have the same tone gen as the MASS and are the only strobe series in europe where the colour can be changed on site (depends on model though). Also these came in CLIP addressable for notifier and system sensor in the late 90s and are one of the only xenon strobes ever produced in europe.

Definitely the Simplex 290X strobes, followed by the Wheelock Exceders. I’ve always found the xenon Exceders interesting
