This is a beautiful sequential LED flasher (LED chaser) that also called KNIGHT READER CIRCUIT. Flashing speed can changed by changing the value of capacitor or 33K resistor.  The circuit run by 5v and draw very low current lower than 10mA. You can run the circuit by 12v battery but you have use 1K resistor rather than 470ohm resistor to LED protection.

1.5v Flasher with 25 LEDs

Image
This is an amazing LED flasher that run by only 1.5v AA battery. The circuit based on joule thief method. main circuit was designed by handmade choke coil but i change that to this new circuit that don't need to coil making because that was very difficult. you can use an electric zapper choke coil. the flashing speed can change by potentiometer. A new 1.5v alkaline battery can run this circuit for more than 30 hours(by lowest flashing speed). I test this circuit by 25 LEDs but you can add more. Zapper choke coil usually have 6pin and 3 internal coil. in first you should determine that by an ohmmeter, then put that in the circuit. the temperature of  transistor raise in high speed flashing, so need to a heatsink.  Parts list: Transistor 2N2222 Resistor 100 ohm Potentiometer 1k Capacitor 100uF 35v Chock coil of old camera or electric zapper or mobile charger Battery 1.5v AAA or AA LED Diode 1N4007 Diac DB3
