I was reviewing archives and saw the discussion on Flashers.  I bought two
flasher units from JC Whitney that stick on the top of vehicles or any
where.  They use a cigarette plug for power.  I disassembled the flasher
and discarded everything except the flash card and the bulb.  I made a
mount for the flash card that doubles as the inspection cover in the wing
tip.  The whole unit weighs less than 4 ounces I’m sure and uses very
little current.  The hardest part was making the lens....I started with
Plexiglas, then went back and dug the lens out of the trash that came with
the unit, cut it up, and heated it with a hot air gun to shape it.  I am
still not totally happy with the lens.  However, the weight, cost and
electrical load are very nice.
