Very interesting... are you synthesizing all these Perchlorates yourself?

 

I see you have Lithium Perchlorate. If you have Hexamine, you should be able to make a nice simple 2-part strobe formula. I can dig up the ratios for you if you want. I'd love to hear how well it works if you have the Hexamine at hand to try it out.

Yes, i made lithium perchlorate by myself by the reaction of NH4ClO4 with lithium carbonate. If you want a procedure, ask for it in general chemistry => perchlorates topic. Send the formula you've mentioned to me by a personal message or post it here.
