<DIV>How many LEDs or how much current?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I found this link real quick.</DIV>

<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Maybe try searching for "driving led 555 high current"</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Talks about sourcing or sinking 200mA directly with 555.</DIV>
<DIV>I you need a lot more current, the MOSFET used in DPRG is a real nice way
to go.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The above search quickly located example circuits using common NPN
transistors.</DIV>
