Strobe light
Gordon wrote:
A lot of commercial fishing boats spend the night at sea drifting. To be seen better, they use a strobe light. Legal or not, they want to be seen. I/m thinking an all around white LED anchor light could be wired to a relaxation oscillator or 555 timer chip to create a low current draw white strobe. Yes? No? Gordon You might be even better off with the CMOS version of the 555, which will draw next to nothing between pulses. It would be good to locate the timer at the LED, thus avoiding the pulse-distorting effects of a long cable run.
