The KEMO B185 Electronic Flasher Kit is a compact electronic circuit designed to generate automatic flashing signals for low-current DC applications. Operating from a 6 to 12V DC power supply, this versatile DIY kit is ideal for controlling glow lamps, indicator lights, LEDs (with suitable current-limiting components), and other low-power loads in miniature models, hobby electronics, educational projects, and custom electronic circuits.
The circuit produces a steady flashing frequency of approximately 1 to 3 flashes per second, making it suitable for creating realistic warning lights, beacon lamps, hazard indicators, railway signals, emergency vehicle lighting, model construction effects, and decorative lighting displays. Its stable oscillating output provides reliable and continuous operation while consuming minimal power.
The KEMO B185 can also be configured as an alternating flasher, allowing two lamps or outputs to flash alternately, expanding its range of applications for model railways, scale vehicles, signalling systems, and electronic demonstrations. Its simple design makes it an excellent project for electronics enthusiasts, students, and hobbyists looking to develop soldering skills while gaining a practical understanding of oscillator circuits and timing electronics.
Designed for switching loads up to 100mA, the B185 is ideal for directly controlling low-current devices. When higher switching capacity is required, the circuit can be combined with the optional KEMO B197 Relay Card (sold separately), enabling the flasher to switch loads up to 3 Amps. This significantly broadens its application range, allowing it to control larger lamps, relays, motors, and other higher-current devices.
The compact PCB measures only 45 × 26 mm, making it easy to integrate into confined spaces within scale models, display cabinets, custom enclosures, and electronic projects. The kit offers an enjoyable soldering experience while providing valuable insight into electronic timing circuits, pulse generation, and switching applications.
Ideal for hobbyists, educational institutions, makers, and electronics enthusiasts, the KEMO B185 Electronic Flasher Kit delivers reliable performance in a compact and easy-to-build design, making it a valuable addition to any electronics workshop.
