Here is a small circuit I used to flash an existing panel lamp on a broadcast
mixing desk.
Flashing LED ÚÄÄÄÄÄÄÂÄÄ22RÄÄÄ+15V

* Optional components to remove pulses from supply rail
HOW IT WORKS
The flashimg LED draws only small current until it lights. When on the PNP is
driven hard to give power to the panel lamp.
This a much simpler solution than an Astable/555 timer/Pic etc.
