Thanks not going to use 555 but rather use the ujt type circuit. Question is if I can find the parts at my local electronics shop as they dont always keep the parts with certain codes. But I will Google some more in ujt circuits.
Many thanks.
UJTs are not really a modern component, but 2N2646 is still relatively common, I suspect.
There are also flashers based on bipolar transistors that are almost as simple.

If you don't mind winding a coil, there's also something called a Joule thief.

Cheapest ujt I could find was about $5.00.....
Talkingelectronics has heaps of gear like this flasher......

Hello,
There are also blinking leds available:

They seem to work from 3.5 to 14 Volts.

Yes I wish I could get them but I am 100's of km away from my nearest electronics shop. That's why I struggling with this type of circuits.
Thanks again I am working long hours so pardon me if I don't respond immediately.
Just had a look a million thanks again. Wish everyone can respond as positively as you and the others.
Thanks Bertus
Are you from RSA?
