What's that flashing?
Can you imagine how a flasher circuit might be used? Think of circuits that switch a
light on and off at regular intervals. For example, a blinking light at a pedestrian
crosswalk, or at a railroad crossing, or in a shop window display...
And of course, any motor vehicle has a blinker too. A blinker, or turn signal, is a light that
is used to signal a change in driving direction to other drivers. So all in all, flasher
circuits are very common.
