Advertising Badge #1 with Flashing LED -  I have seen numerous flashing light badges at trade shows and conventions.  They are often handed out as gifts to promote some business.  The devices often use inefficient circuits, which cause the battery power source to be quickly depleted . . . Circuit by David Johnson P.E.-March, 2002

Advertising Badge #2 with Flashing LED -  This circuit uses a CD4013 dual D Flip/Flop IC .  A single lithium battery will provide months of continuous LED flashing.  It also has a tiny push-button switch to turn on and off the light flashing . . . Circuit by David A. Johnson P.E.-March, 2002
