Note that the relay has a 1000 ohm coil and activates at 5 volts, with other relays the values of the resistor and capacitor might need adjusted.

With a 100Ω coil and a 100Ω timing resistor, the coil voltage will reach a maximum of 6V. How many 12V relays will pull-in with only 6V on the coil?I have some reed relays with 1K coils but with a 100 ohm coil you could change R to 100 ohms and C to 1000 uF
Hmm, what is the intended application here? The issue I see with using a mechanical relay for flashing a light is that, depending on the rate of the flashing, it will put tens of thousands of cycles on the relay in a matter of hours. If the intended device is going to be in continuous use, the contacts may start to wear out quickly, even when using a reed-type relay.

What simulation software are you using?
