I have these three strobe lights and I want to make them flash synchronously, with minimum interconnection. Here is the schematic - I may have interpreted wrongly so feel free to tell me if something doesn't make sense: |-------------------------------| | 6V | | C | | L Light | R 56K | | | 150K | | Gnd |-----R---------| | | | | | | | | | | R 22K | | | | 22K < | |--R--Q 6V | / \ | |-------|-------------Q \---- | | > | | | | | | CdS R 52K Gnd | Cell | | | | | |-------| | | Gnd I've tried to connect them directly - at the terminals of the light bulb, because that is the most accessible and simplest connection, and it works for two bulbs, but I fear trying a third will overload the single transistor that would probably source all the current in a case like this. First of all - am I right that ONE transistor will source all the current? And second, if I am, what other way is there to interconnect these oscilators so that they are in phase but power themselves seperately? I hope the schematic is clear enough - if you have any questions about it email me and I'll update it... Luke Nosek
