[Paddlewise] LED strobes

After having my third strobe fail, (two of them were ACR Firefly's, an
industry standard) I'm interested to know if anyone has experience with
LED's used as strobes. As LED's seem to be the light of the future and have
a very low power use, they would make sense for an emergency signalling
device. 

I know little about electronics, but as my bike LED's flash, it seems it
wouldn't be hard to build something along the same lines, if a manufacturer
isn't already.

Cheers
