I don't even know how to begin researching this issue so I figured I would throw this out there:

I am trying to see if a product exists similar to a programmable timer you would use for lights. However, I am looking for something that will power on and then off in very short intervals. For instance, once programmed the switch will power on for 4 seconds, then power off 4 seconds, power on 4 seconds, etc...
confused

Need a little more info. Would be easy to build. Depending on how precise you need it to be and a couple other things. That is something that could be under $5 or over $300. I'll do a little looking.



Here ya go

would 5 seconds work instead of 4?

Look at a reef keeping supply store. BRS (bulk reef supply) is a good one and has good customer service to answer questions. These are saltwater aquarium supply places that have timers that control lights will simulate lightning from a thunderstorm. Probably more than what you want to pay and they will do more than what you want but the point is, such devices do exist.


Lord, please help us get our nation straightened out.

Wouldn't really matter what kind of lights. Just make the controller run a relay. Somewhere I have a a schematic for a timer I built with a 555 timer. IC was like 75 cents and I just scrounged the rest. Built it on a bread board. I am really curious what otb has up his sleeve.

I am trying to modify my mojo duck decoys. I believe mojo used to make a gadwall spinner decoy that had an internal timer that you could set to custom intervals (essentially what I'm trying to do) but I don't think they make them anymore.

I have two I have one remote for, but they are sync'd together and I'm not wild about that.

Turn signal blinker with a resister upstream. It will take longer for the bi-metallic strip to heat and open the circuit.

I used turn signals to make my feeding duck decoys. Maybe this would work.

Did you make them from regular floating decoys?

The reason I was asking if it was ac or dc is because there are dc timers for decoys on eBay that will do exactly what you are wanting, and are adjustable for the pattern it will do. I think they are around $5
