Yeah...there's plenty of LED's that blink on their own....no need for a separate circuit.

Get one of these



Run it on an almost dead battery and shine the LED through the blades.

Thanks for the help, buying one that is made to blink is a heck of alot closer to my electronics skill level than making it myself. Don
