Hai friend, There is nothing special required to make a neon lamp flash. Just connect a 10Meg pot in sieres and start to increase voltage to the neon. Just at the point where the neon gas starts conducting, it starts blinking. Just leave as it is or replace the pott with the nearest valued fixed rresistor.
