Sheilded teflon high voltage coaxial cable to be more precise. dont use the outer conductor for any connection other that the flash bulb. i.e. dont connect the nav light ground via this conductor...run a seperate gnd wire for the nav lights. and try to avoid loopy connections at either end. then the fast pulse of current travelling out the inner conductor to the bulb will be forced to return on the outer conductor. the inner wire and the cylindrical outer conductor will then make electric and magnetic fields that precisely cancel each other (OUTSIDE the cable they cancel). that guarantees that the wiring wont radiate. properly connected coaxes can be laid right next to each other with only the very tiniest of coupling. this will a make much greater improvement in strobe noise pickup than trying to get the strobe wiring at right angles to the panel wiring.
