Commercial disco strobes do not work like this, if you have a chain of say
200 strobe tubes around a dance hall they have to be easily triggered.
If you want to maintain compatability with the industry you should allow for
a cannon XLR connector on the back of your strobe, two - one for in and
one for out  The strobe should be configured to flash on every single
positive going edge recieved between pins 1 &2 on the XLR, max voltage is
about 5-10 V, but not fussy. So you would need a circuit that discharges the
tube on every 5V spike received.

Advantage of doing it this way is that you maintain compatibility with 
strobe controllers/chasers that are used in the industry.
