This is probably the simplest idea to generate flashing light from an LED using AC. The circuit is relatively the simple way of flashing one or more LEDs from a high voltage DC obtained from Mains.

This is a small size led flasher built with the 555 timer IC that is powered from 2 x 1.5V batteries. The circuit can be used as a flashing metronome, dark room timer, memo-reminder or other similar ...

If you're buying a flasher for cell production, you will soon have to give more thought as to whether you want the flash to be generated with a xenon lamp or with a combination of many LEDs. Hanwha Q ...

LTspice is a free version of spice from Linear Technology, and it is delightfully easy to use, intuative, and seems to work rather well. Note, there is a flasher version 3 Current through component ...

[Tito] entered a Self-Charging LED Flasher into the Component Abuse Challenge. It’s a simple re-build of a design by the unstoppable [Burkhard Kainka], and while [Tito] doesn’t explain its workings in ...

Maybe I shouldn’t be surprised, the led flasher modelled in LTspice works, just about as intended – nice crisp flashes at about the right rate. Seeing as everything is relying on Vbes and Vfs, the ...

A little modern technology can be good for old cars, but you've got to know how to integrate and use it properly. That's a lesson we learned recently when we replaced the standard-issue 1157 taillight ...
