[Shotimes] how do flashers work?

[Donald Mallinson]

The LED's have a much lower resistance to electricity as I understand 
it, thus it is like opening up a water faucet from a slow drip to 
flood.  Things move faster!  :)

LED"s are cool lights, they don't have to heat up significantly to 
produce light.  A regular bulb literally has to heat a wire till it 
glows white hot.  It takes lots of juice and time compared to the rapid 
pace of an LED.

That is an explanation from a guy that understands enough about 
electricity to be dangerous.
