Device purpose:

This circuit has been designed to provide that continuous light lamps already wired into a circuit, become flashing. Simply insert the circuit between existing lamp and negative supply.
Especially suited for car or panel pilot lights, this device can drive lamps up to 10W.

 

Notes:

Break lamp(s) to negative supply connection(s), then insert the circuit between existing lamp(s) connection(s) and negative supply (respecting polarities!).

C1 value can be varied from 100 to 1000΅F or higher, in order to change flashing frequency.

Although rather oversized, this circuit can also drive any LED, providing a suitable resistor is fitted in series with the light emitting device.

The resistor should be in the range 47R to 2K2, depending on supply voltage.
