I installed this flashing emergency/tail light . It has a REALLY NEAT flashing sequence with concenteric diminishing circles That catches the eye even 1/2 a mile away. It is designed for trucks and is 4" round and is designed to fit into a rubber grommet. The back of the light is smooth, so I made a bracket onto the rackpack and used velcro pads to mount it. I have had about 25 people ask me about it. Even in direct sunlight it is bright.

I purchased it from this web site awholesaler.com . There is a you tube demo. of the light there also. They are sold in pairs for about $ 40.00 US and run of 12v DC. I m using a lyens DC/DC to power it with no problems. CHECK IT OUT

Thanks for the share!

I've been looking into getting a solution working and I already have 2 of Lyen's DC DC converters ready for lighting projects. Will have to check this out more later. :)


Searched eBay and could not find your particular find. But here's couple cheapers ones that I found using: 4" light 12v turn; as my search

Don't strobe light hypnotize drivers (especially the drunk variety) bringing them right into you, so any strobe light is off the list of ultimate tail light.
 
I think you should take the electronics from that one, and then rewire these to run the same way:

Then also use them to make these into sequentially-lighting arrows:
