VARTA 631 Warning Lamp

Although the lamp was only mandatory for trucks,
some used it as a security precaution, in the 80's.

As in an Etsy-Auction:

The flasher is on the front and the steady light on the side.
It is powered by 5 mono cells, which makes it rather heavy.

In the new times, a friend has put in LED's,
a Li-Ion-Cell and some electronics in between.

Since they do not take as long to light up,
one could shorten the flashing by bridging the middle resistor
of the 5 you see after opening the case, he figured.
