- T1 and L1 are available from The Electronics Goldmine (see Where To Get Parts).
- This ciruits is NOT isolated from ground. Use caution when operating without a case. A case is required for normal operation. Do not touch any part of the circuit with the case open or not installed.
- Most any diodes rated at greater then 250 volts at 1 amp can be used instead of the 1N4004's.
- Do not operate this circuit at high flash rates for more than about 30 seconds or else C1 and C2 will overheat and explode.
- There is no on/off switch in the schematic, but you can of course add one.
