ABSTRACT:
A retractable zoom-strobe device including a strobe housing, which is movable between a retracted position and a projected position, and a movable illuminating angle varying member, which is movably supported by the strobe housing, are provided. A powered strobe light emitter moving mechanism includes a strobe gear train, the gears of which are fixably mounted with respect to one another. The strobe gear train engages a swing arm, to which the strobe housing is attached, to move the strobe housing between the retracted position and the projected position. A powered illuminating angle varying member is also provided, which includes a zoom gear train which has a rack that moves the light emitting unit. Both the zoom gear train and the strobe gear train are powered by a single drive motor.
