STROBE LIGHT CAUSES DISTR DURING ILS APCH.

Narrative

I BELIEVE THERE IS A HAZARD TO NAV LOCATED IN THE NE CORNER OF HOLLYWOOD PARK RACE TRACK. THERE IS A BRIGHT STROBE LIGHT OPERATING THERE. DURING MARGINAL VFR/IFR OPS TO LAX; THIS STROBE LIGHT LOOKS LIKE A REIL OR SFL APCH LIGHT. IT IS ALSO VISIBLE IMMEDIATELY AFTER BREAKING OUT OF THE CLOUDS AND PRIOR TO SEEING THE ARPT OR RWY ENVIRONMENT. WHEN SEEING THIS LIGHT; MY IMMEDIATE THOUGHT IS THAT IT IS PART OF THE APCH LIGHT SYS; AND TO TURN THE ACFT TOWARDS IT (WHICH IS LOW AND SLIGHTLY L). IN GOOD VFR THE ARPT IS CLRLY VISIBLE SO IT IS NOT A PROB; AND IN CAT I; II; OR III CONDITIONS; WE FLY PAST IT IN THE CLOUDS AND NEVER SEE THE LIGHT; SO IT IS NO PROB THERE EITHER. IT IS A PROB WHEN VISIBILITY AND CEILING ARE SUCH THAT WE BREAK OUT IN THE VICINITY OF E OF HOLLYWOOD PARK AND CANNOT SEE THE ARPT. I BELIEVE THIS LIGHT SHOULD BE REMOVED BECAUSE IT TENDS TO LURE THE FLC L AND BELOW THE ILS. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: LAX TWR SUPVR STATED THE STROBE THE RPTR IS REFERRING TO IS THE GUNTER STROBE. THE STROBE IS LOCATED ON THE TOP OF THE FORUM NEXT TO HOLLYWOOD PARK. STROBE IS USED FOR NAV DURING VFR CONDITIONS.
