I want to make a strobe light...

Post by The Bishop »

I'm after one of these:

But that seems a lot of money for something which is quite basic to make. Trouble is I don't know how to!

I'm guessing it is made of 5 x 10w LED's
I'd like to power it from a small battery eg a 9v battery
What do I need in terms of resisters etc and something to make it blink?

Thanks for your help you clever people.
