I'm not much of an electronics guy, but I've gotten this far with a project to light up a model that I've been working on for 5 years. The problem I am having is that the flasher circuit I built causes all the other lights in the model to dim a bit when the flasher circuit flashes its lamp. It's really annoying.
I know that there must be some kind of current/voltage drop because of the load and I don't know whether it is something in the circuit or the power supply I'm using just can't keep up.
Here is the circuit:
**broken link removed**
Questions:
Should I swap the lamps for 6.3V/150mA units to draw less current so I can rule out over driving the power supply?
Is there a way to isolate the load from the flasher circuit so it won't affect the other lights?
Any help appreciated.
