Insides of my LED fixture.
You can see the flasher thingy that makes the light flash on and off.

It also has an alternating feature, that alternates 2 lights. I tried it with 2 lights and it works perfectly!

is it a Thermal Type Flasher?

I need a flasher for a project I'm doing for my dad, but I can't find a reasonably priced one Mad

And here I have a box full of them, all you need are either an 8 pin or 11 pin industrial relay base. Both 40-250VAC and 110 and 220VAC types, some variable and some fixed. I have been using them as spares, and some as flashers, though a few have been donors for the relays inside.

@Devonte yes I have checked there but the shipping to Canada is $50 for a $35 relay Rolling Eyes

Yeah that's pretty expensive,i'll keep an eye out for one though........i Wonder if they have any old style mechanical flashers out there...the ones that uses a rotating cam with a raised portion...when the raised portion hits the spring loaded contact it breaks the circuit and repeats it over again,those are my Favorite flashers as the thermal ones tend to speed up as they heat.

Try making one out of an old microwave turntable motor and the microswitches inside it. Use the turntable drive dog and grind a stepped wedge into it to actuate the switch. Gives you a flash rate of around 10 seconds if you use a single lobe, or you can cut up to around 6 with care.

I still have a nice Faraday motor flasher around though, it is very nice.

i had a 3 RPM microwave Turntable motor...the intreasting thing is the fact that those motors usually start a diffrent direction every time you switch them on..and they reverse automatically if they get too much resistanc...how does that happen?
