Nice! A great effect for fairly cheap. I don't understand how they can charge $350 for that fright light. ridiculous! Highway Robbery!!!

Absolutely ingeniuis

great tip. these Flasher buttons/Outlet Winkers are one of those objects that are useful for all kinds of applications. last i checked ace hardware carries them. I heard a rumor that you can stack two of them in series to get a more random flicker has anyone tried/ had success with that method?

I love it. I want it. I gotta have it! ryanrgrnt@hotmail.com Send me instructions and parts list if you get time. I gotta few things I do that you might like. Some paint/ decorating ideas thats out of this world when you get time to do them! Thanks, great vid

You can always just get the winker outlet and it will work the same way. Plug something into the outlet and it starts flashing. Ace Hardware use to carry them but it's been five or six years since I bought one there. Some of them flash at a different rate so look closely at the flash rate on the outlet or the button.

This one is around $5 but it only flashes 14-20 times per minute
